Title: How did you meet your other half?
Post by: Dusty on 13 October 2008, 19:42:22
Everyone can remember the first time they met their other half, but some people meet up in the most unusual ways.

I met Mr Dusty in I suppose a more conventional way. We first encountered each other in a Nightclub, where Mr Dusty spilt drink all over my coat.

He was very unapologetic :o :o. My coat was "practically worthless" he said.  :o :o

It must have been his rogueish charm that rubbed off, because we haven't looked back since. ;)

I wonder how you met the other half, and if it was as romantic as my first date?

 :-* :-* :-*

First met my wife on a cold winter night outside a multistory carpark her and her mate asked me and my friend to go for a spin in their car, I chucked my mate in the back first so I didn't have to sit by her, I took a bite out of her pasty and it nearly vanished so she bit me, come wednesday we've been married 21 years and I'm still suffering, havn't been offered a bit of her pasty since.

Err...it was in a Police Station



I was a Special teaching self-defence training to the Volunteer Cadets and one asked me if I played Dungeons and Dragons. When I said yes she came back with "I thought so, it's your casual attitude to mindless violence"

My other half got a job at the shop i was running 6 years ago, she lived not too far from me and we cant have worked together more than 10 times (she was our saturday girl) but my boss told me it was obvious she fancied me from the start, which I, being male, was completely oblivious to!!

the shop closed down, we went our seperate ways, she went off to college and uni and i only saw her brielfy in passing while driving past the card shop she worked in near where we live, not enough to really speak to. she'd changed her mobile number after we stopped working together and neglected to pass her new one on to me then for about 3 full years we never saw each other, her friend then told her she'd seen me in town pushing a pram, and also seen a baby on board sign in my car, so she thought i'd moved on and settled down and carried on her life thinking I was out of reach

However, the car her friend had seen was not mine, but someone else's that was very similar, and the pram I was seen to be pushing was in fact my friend's child while he was in a shop looking for baby clothes :D then 3 years later (october last year) I got a message via the good old net from said young lady sayin hello, we met up and had a good catch up, spent more and more time together, and the rest is history :y

Jimbob and I met at our local venture scouts christmas party!
I was 16 and he was 17! We started going out as a foursome with another couple, they sort of fell by the wayside and we carried on going out. Neither of us asked the other out it just sort of happened!
We lasted another few months at ventures before we were kicked out for sharing a tent at a scout meet! ;)
We got engaged after 4 years, bought a house after 5 years then got married after 7 years!
15 years after we met,  here we are, and with 2 gorgeous boys to show for it. :)

It was the 21st November 1980, she was 14 and I was 15, I asked her to go out with me outside her front door after walking her home from  youth club.
Been together ever since, nearly 28 years. And just had our 20th wedding anniversary.

So you can safely say I am not very worldly wise where women are concerned, but I am happy.

I won't make a list but total disasters (most anyway) including my 23 yr old son. I still speak to his Mum but not him & he speaks to neither of us either. He had a row with his Mum last Xmas, accused us of having him on on whim. Let him get on with it. Funnily enough i get on fine with all my exes now, up here & down south. There is one i do miss sometimes despite leaving her & moving up to Lincolnshire to get away from her but i'm happier on my tod really. I'm content now.
   Sorry to go on a bit but i don't usually take part in such topics. ::)

12 years ago I was a mature student and was doing a Placement some 50 miles from home,  75 from Uni, so I put a caravan on a site, with a pub, and still claimed the daily mileage from Uni. :-X

Got to know lots of people, anyway long story short, I first met swmbo, when going out with someone else who’s family had a caravan. :) I had to go round and complain about swmbo youngest son, who had been in my awning, when I was at work, and had been playing with matches in my awning, burning a stool. ::)  Caravan door opened, No 2 stepson answered the door, I said is you Mum in, No 2 stepson immediately pointed at No 3 and said ‘It was him’   ;D ;D ;D

Used to bump into her when going to the pub, I say she deliberately brought the boys in when she knew I would be passing, she said it was just a coincidence ::) ::) ::) it just went on from there really and here we are today with my own daughter to add to the crowd.  :y

No man is, Manta, no man is  ::) ::)

I met mine on t'internet  ::)  Was just mooching around the odd chat room ( like you do), totally uninspired by the general dweeb population there, when this person (male or female I did not know) asked a reasonably intelligent question about English Social History. I know faff all about the subject but decided to have a stab at answering.

Turned out she was a french student doing a degree in English Studies (they don't just learn the language, but the history, society and economics).  We started chatting about "things english" and, after a while I was asked if I would like to visit and stay at the University for a week.

So, a few weeks later I find myself at 6 in the morning on a freezing bus station in the south of France, waiting for a total stranger (who I hoped wasn't a 20 stone french rugby player with an axe!!). Corny I know, but I fell in love within seconds --- eight years later still in love, married with a 23 month old little boy and really happy.

I was asleep, drunk under the pool table in a local pub ( 1978 ), her indoors thought that I needed help and checked to see if I was OK, with the help of her sister they dragged me out and woke me up. The rest is history, 28 years married now, even though I tried chatting her sister up the following weekend as I could not remember what she looked like!!!!!

Met mine at work, I'd been there about a year when she joined. When she was given the tour and introduced to everyone her boss, upon arrivng at me, said "This is dave, he eats a lot". Admittedly I was well known for polishing off all the buffett food!!  ;D

Apparently I was the best looking of a bad bunch of blokes, not sure what that's supposed to mean though :-?. Still here we are 4.5 years later with our 2 year old boy and very happy.

I knew this couple from the Sgts' Mess quite well as they attended "do's" quite often and I not only lived there but was the resident DJ. Due to other things I was eventually picking the uy up every tuesday to take him somewhere .... this went on for around 2 years....

Then one saturday disco night they turned up with this female ... I'm sat at the bar .. I say to George .. "who's the bird" ... he gets all huffy  "that's no bird that's my daughter" ... meanwhile the daughter is asking Mum who Dad is talking to... I get introduced to this bird .. who is engaged to someone else .......

Now been married 31 years ......  

So I have known my "outlaws" longer than my wife... and they got us together ... !!!

I knew my wife for 3 years before we got together. I used to deliver to the shop where she was Manager a couple of times a week and was oblivious to the fact she liked me. Eventually, her mate sent me a text saying "Sharon would like a date, are you interested?" That was 8 years ago. Two years to the day after our first date we got married.

Help! Just remembered it's my 34th wedding anniversary next Saturday!

So anyway, I was madly in love with this girl who barely recognised my existence, as she was waiting for a "Greek God" to appear in her life.  I was more of a geek frog.  Then she moved to a new flat, and I was noticed - you can pack a lot of stuff into a Wolseley 6/99 - only took 2 trips.  

My wife was one of the new flatmates.  Still, never mind, eh?
