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.

Ljay and I met at our local venture scouts christmas party!  Got close watching my choice of film, Peter Jackson's finest work - Bad Taste, and if she still liked me after that, she lost all ability to complain  ;D
I was 17 and she was 16! We started going out as a foursome (fnarr fnarr) 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 inapproriate behavior whilst 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. :)

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.
