We met clubbing one night. Got talking, I went home with him (yes I know, they hussy I am lol) and have been together for 5 years now, married for 18 months.
We met in a bar, he gave me a drink (a pint with about 10 shots in) and used my inebriation to kiss me... and sent me a love-note the next day so I just went along with it! That was over six years ago now.
I met my DH in a pizza/chicken shop two days after I turned 17! I was with a group of friends and he was with a carfull of his mates when they drove by and saw us, came back and chatted us up. I went with his mate for a few weeks then we got together and have been for 16years, married for 12!!
i met my dh out at a pub. We was checking each other out for abit - like ages, and so i went up and asked him to dance. But, i had thought that he wasnt to keen, and was prob more interested in my friend that i was with, as she was certainly interested in him. But, nope, he only had eyes for me. I thought he was to good looking for someone like me.
The first, and only time in my life, i asked him to come home with me....
And the rest, as they say - is history.
I was practically moved in with him about 5 weeks later.
Work..........we met when we both started the Optus on the very same day.........11 years ago. I never faniced him at all back then.......he charmed his way into my affections eventually.........
We met at a local fav pub stamford arms in Scarborough, Perth! I am a HUGE believer in Fate - The story goes like this. (sorry it is a bit long.)
My Girlfriend and i were totally over men as we just kept getting duds all the time etc so we decided to have a really fun girls night out! So it happens we got very drunk and a guy came up to me and said my friend likes you. I turned and said oh yeah which one and he pointed to my Dp my mouth dropped (he was hot) and i told me girlfriend that he liked me (she also thought he was hot) so i took the chance and went and said hi etc etc. The whole night he bought me drinks and looked after me. But then my G/f had a hissy fit as her ex arrived and they had a fight so i told my Dp to hold my drink and i will be back. I didn't go back i left and looked after my friend. I was so upset the next day i knew i had to find him again as i knew he was the one! ( Dp stood holding my drink all night waiting for me to come back until close and the bouncer told him that i wasn't coming back and he would have to leave.)
I gave myself to New Years Eve to try and see him again at the pub as i had no contact number etc, I saw his mates and they told me he would be there on a certain date and of cause i fell sick. Boo Hoo :( . I decided that i had to go there New Years eve and if he wasn't there it was not ment to be. The clock ticked over 12 and no sign of my Dp but then i went to the bar for some reason and i heard this person say my name and it was my Dp. We have been unseparable since we met again new years eve. It was fate for us thats for sure and we were ment to be. :dance:
We have travelled alot and made a huge move from our Home town Perth to cairns together and we have one princess Tayneesha and another on the way. I am so lucky to have found my one and only love he is the best partner i could have ever dreamt of having. We plan to marry but no rush for us as we basically are married we just have different surnames.
Jen :)
I think there is a thread on this in relationships.
I met DH through mutual friends. I had known him a while before I asked him out, as he played in a band, and I had seen them a few times. My housemate (one of the mutual firends) bugged me for a ges to break up with my then boyfriend and go out with DH instead.
I waited and eventually we did break up.
DH's housemate asked me out to the movies, and I (naively) thought he meant with a group....so then I had to tell him that whilst I did think he was a great guy, I kinda had the hots for his housemate.
He was OK to start with, but I think me being there all the time wore thin cos after a while DH got kicked out of the house, and the band they were both in (which DH started mind you!!)
We met via the net...lol. Then he used to come in where i used to work...hit it off pretty quickly. Been together for 2 years, married for 9 months.
We met at my place at the time, He came over one night and we all got on the ****, I was actually trying to hook him up with my neighbour lol. He wouldn't leave me alone and ended up coming over everyday for about 2 weeks, I started falling for him eventually and Here we are now 4 years,2 kids later.( I fell preggers with DS 1 1/2 months after we got together:O)
Ellie
DH and i met over the net too.. not going to get into details but have been together for 3.5 years and married 9 months and wouldnt change anything for the world.
I met him on a night cruise on the harbour. We both didnt want to be there, lol, the cruise was soooo boring, and I kept on seeing my ex there because he was the DJ there. I was sitting down with a friend and this guy (now DH) walked over and looked at me so I smiled and said Hi, and he asked to dance with me. I hate dancing, so I said NO!! hahaha and he looked really cut and walked away. I then saw him later in the night when I was a bit more drunk and we got talking. We were on the roof deck of the boat and it started raining so he did the good old hug thing to help me be warm. He asked for my number and I gave it to him and he called the next day. We arranged to go out the following day and have been together since.
Yeh definately.. and those certain dating websites.. might work too.. lol.. Repondez S'il Vous Plait
DH and i were set up - but it was the worst set up you can imagine - they forgot to introduce us!!!
we were supposed to be partnered together in a friends wedding, and apparently we found out later they'd decided we were perfect for each other and had to meet - thing is, the first time we were at the same place they completely forgot that we'd never met. i'd worked out who he was from what was being said, and when talk turned to stuff to do with the wedding, he told the bride-to-be that, seeing noone had bothered to tell him what kind of suit to get, he was just gonna show up in his shorts and singlet. now, i'm a pretty shy person, and SOOOO not a fan of wearing dresses - so i turned around and said "if i have to wear a bloody dress, you have to wear a bloody suit!"
apparently that was enough to get DH interested. the next night was the hens/busck do, so once the bucks night wound up, he dragged the groom to the hens night so that we could spend some time together. officially got together 10 days after we met, and married 12 months later. couldn't be happier!
but yeah, as far as set up's go, it was pretty lame!!
At high school in year 11. My Deb partner turned out to be a bit of a drop kick and very unreliable. My best friend was having her deb dress made by a lady whose son was new at our school and he was interested. Realised he was in my english class, asked him to be my partner and the rest is history!
LOL dating sites work... even if u do use them as a bit of fun and for a laugh ;)
I agree with Kim dating sites do work as that is how i met my DH.
I worked 7nights a week and some times them nights where 12hr shifts. One Sunday night for a change i didn't work, saw in the Sunday magazine about a dating site and joined and met DH a few days later. I must admit i did have a few glasses of wine before i joined the site ;)
we met through friends at a 4,6 and rotary drag meet (we are rev heads)
he was drunk and i had been trying to get his attention all night but he was flirting with his best mates gf
then about a month later he called me (i wasn't happy that a friend had given him my no)
and we made a date but then i cancelled it then we made another and drove from pub to pub trying to find somewhere that didn't want a deposit for the pool table (we were young and povo back then) then went to some fancy pants restaraunt for a coffee (we didnt know it was a restaraunt till the owner got snooty). 2 days later(easter thurs) i got drunk called him to come and get me, we did the deed and i thought that was it ( i know sounds bad) but he hasnt let me go since!!
I met DP at a pub, he was chatting to my sister and i was blind and walked up to them and straddled him on the seat. A year later I was at another pub and there was a guy and a girl singing/playing guitar there. Sis pointed him out and said that's ***** from folkie, remember him??
We hooked up that night, and a few more times times, kinda had a fight, stopped talking all together for months, started talking again one day. became really good friends and always caught up for coffee, then one day our coffee date went for 3 hours and we kinda realised there was something special there, talked about it via SMS for a few weeks, then he came to stay and we've been together ever since!
My DH and I met over the net also.
We started seeing each other in 2002, he moved in with me in 2004, we married in 2005.
Blind date for me. Have now been married for 21 years
MY XH and I met at university. At least it made constitutional law a little more interesting...
I met my DH through my sister as she was dating DH's Best friend.At the time I was still dating my highschool sweetheart ( I use the term losely!) And he was dating another girl ...so we were just friends . Then I split up with my boyfriend after 7years and he split up with his girlfriend all within about a month....we saw each other out one night and walla ...started dating!. I remember thinking after about 3months if I couldnt marry him I would not want to get married as no one could ever possibly treat me as well as he did!!!!!.
Now my sister and her boyfriend are long over ...and DH and I have been together 8years this year and married 5 years!. She claims we are the best thing that came out of her relationship ..and I have to agree :lol:
Its actually quite a funny story.... and I think it was meant to be like this....
Well DH and I were fast-food neighbours (him KFC - me Pizza Hut) and one night we both had to take the huge wheelie bins full of rubbish down using the elevator. He was standing at the elevator and said 'You going down?' and under my breath I said 'no, a--hole I thought I'd take this huge bin down the stairs'.
We shared the lift ride, looking each other over, he started talking about how if the lift broke at least we could eat the scraps out of the garbage..... how romantic.
We had to go back into our respective stores and finishing doing the close, so I wrote my number on a napkin and when I finished work I gave it to him.
He called two days later, we went to my friends 21st, I got so drunk that I didn't remember anything. Two days after that, my shy DH took one and a half hours to ask me 'do you want to go out with me?' and four months later we started living together and the rest sort of panned itself out....
What a good thread idea!!!
I had come down from the country for a work conference and went out to dinner with the family. DP worked with my brother and dad at the time, but also played volleyball with my brothers. I had never met him but knew of him, this particular night after far too many drinks I stole my brothers mobile and got his phone number and started sending him dirty txt messages. He thought it was his mates playing a game, so it took him hours to reply. In the end I grabbed a taxi and a bottle of bourbon and rocked up to his house, and I never left!
His excuse - you never turn away a women holding a bottle of bourbon.
I love this thread, everyones stories are so interesting, makes me feel all romantic LOL.
DH and I met at a pub, he wasn't supposed to be there cause he was really hungover but his mates draged him there, I was not interested in meeting anyone but went with a gf for some fun. Got plastered and an xbf turned up and tried to hit on me, I had been eyeing off DH as he is hot , wasn't going to do anything but decided to get away from x by walking up to DH and asking to sit on his lap and could he pretend to be with me to get rid of x! (He reckons this was the biggest come on he'd ever heard but I maintain it was purely to get away from x!) My friend got with his mate so we all went back to my flat (nothing happened) then the next morning drove them to the station- DH casually asked before he got out of the car would I be at the same pub the following sat. I said no the one after and we parted. I figured I would never see him again as we hadn't exchanged numbers but the next day he called my mobile while I was at school and asked me out! (he knew my last name and looked me up in the phone book and rang my answering machine which had my mobile number on it)
We went on a date the following saturday and have been together ever since.:heartbeat:
OH I was just talking about this yesterday with my belly buddies!! So I am just going to copy it here...
It was the easter long weekend back in 2004 and my sis and I decided to go out on the Saturday night. I called two of my friends to come because we were meeting her friends at the place. We went to a place call the Onyx (I think) which is a pretty snobby club! Stayed there for a little while and then decided to leave my sis with her friends and we went on to a place called the Rise. I had never been there before but its pretty much a dance club. We got there and I was really really drunk, and the friend I was with saw Jason there too. Jason was one of her friends. So I thought that he was pretty cute and he was having a good time dancing on the dance floor. As the night went on I kept saying to my friend that I think he is really cute. At this point me and my friend were dancing up on one of the booths and she told me to wait here and she went down to him and told him to get up there and dance with me!! So he did and we danced and got a few kisses in there too. OMG He was so hot. We spent the rest of the night drinking and dancing together and I think the club closed at 6am. We then left there, he went in his car and my friend drove my car cause I was wayy to drunk and we went back to his place for a lil while. LOL And this was the morning that I had to go to Church with my family!! PMSL so mum was calling me trying to find out where I was so I left and got home at 8am I think. Managed to get maybe 30mins sleep and had to go to church! I felt horrible and still drunk and Jason was smsing me asking to go out on a date. So the next day we went on our first date and have been inseperatable ever since.
We met through the fire brigade as we both volunteered. We hooked up for a month but broke up as I was still getting over someone else and didn't think that fair on now DH. We lost contact for a year (he had hooked up with my ex boss who had advised me to break up with him in the first place until i got over my ex, she wouldn't let us remai in contact.) and then met up again when he got a job with the ambulance service. I was studying nursing at the time and the ambulance school had just opened in the building next door, we got talking again, he broke up with his partner (the same ex boss) and we got back together. Have been together 7 years and married for 3 years tomorrow and now have a beautiful daughter! I am a big believer in fate - and to my ex boss I always think 'what goes around comes around!'.
We were first friends over the phone as he was Despatch Manager at a Furniture Manufacturer and I was a Ordering Clerk at a Furniture Retailer. After about a year of talking we met for drinks for my birthday and we have been together now for 10 years and Married for 6 years.
My DH was a mate of my brother and brother in law. He was into FMX with them and used to come around to my house (lived with brother and dad) to fix the bikes etc. First time I saw him, I peeked out the window to see who was here and saw this hot guy walking across my back yard. I ducked my head inside and spruced myself up then went out to see what was happening. Not much went from there, he was shy and worried about what my brother and BIL would do to him.
My brother and I ended up moving into a place together and needed a third person. Rory was first choice as he was living at my sisters place.
Nothing happened for a few weeks as he was still nervous about what brother would do to him.
A group of us went over to Moreton Island for a long weekend and he came with to make up the numbers. First night there, we all got plastered and were playing pool. Went back to the unit and woke up in the morning snuggled on the floor together. Went from there. Lived together but still had seperate bedrooms.
We ended up moving into a place of our own and the rest they say is history. We ended up getting married 4 years to the day of hooking up and our first anniversary is in 3 weeks.
My partner and I met eachother out ten pin bowling one night with the same group of friends and met eachother, but he was a bit too drunk for anything to click. Later we met eachother again through the same group of friends and we all went out night clubbing and on the way home in the cab after dropping him off and some other friends I thought I would send hime a text telling him I had a great night and to sleep well. From there he was still too shy and I asked him to the movies when realising that he did really like me but was way too shy to say anything. He is still quite shy but after 3 years together he is slowing coming out of his shell.
DH and I lived in the same small town although he went to a catholic school in another town. After getting kicked out of that school, he came to our school (same age/year level). There was an attraction on both sides but he was one of those guys that you like, but would never admit...lol. We got along really well regardless and even had a conversation once in Yr 10 about leaving town once we'd finished school and moving in together (as friends). I ended up leaving town half way through Yr 11 to live with my dad, and he ended up leaving at the end of Yr 11 to go to TAFE. We both had other partners etc, and eventually after about 5 years we found ourselves both living back in our home towns (where our families still are) and single. We started out being 'friends with benefits' but after a few months he told me he loved me and we haven't been apart since. That was in 2001. We married in Feb 2003 and are madly in love with each other....
So it's not technically a 'high school' thing, but we've known each other pretty much our whole lives...and we couldn't be happier.
I met my hubby when i was about 15 he 18. He worked with my mum & mum thought he was nice.... back then I didint want nice and thought he was ugly and boring and just not my type... I knew he liked me though. Finally 2 yrs later we went on a date
and it sucked.. it was just a huge flop. so I avoided him after that... and made excuses when ever he asked me out...
3 yrs later I felt in need of a little male company and knew he would be keen:dance: (coz he always had) but he was taken :(
after a week or 2 he came and asked me out again and I said "no".
But then I felt guilty for saying no and asked him out for a drink... we met up and got a bit tipsy and had the best night ever... and been together eversince.....
we have been married 1 yr and 1month and have a handsome 6 month old NIXON...
Life is sweet !! :kiss:
we went to primary school together.
In prep he told me that he was going to marry me so I clobbered him over the head.
We were b/g friend in grades 5 and 6.
We then went to separate high schools and didn't see each other the whole time.
Every year at high school he would get his mate to ring me and ask me out for him. I told his mate to bugger off each time.
By the time we got to be 18, he had the nerve to ring himself. I thought that i would never get rid of this guy unless i went out with him and be mean to him
He took me on a date, and i found out what a great guy he was.
That was 16 years ago. We have been married for 10 1/2 years and are truly soul mates.
I since found out that when he was at high school he never had a girlfriend as such, as he was still waiting for me to come back into his life.
I now know that when he says something that he truly means it
Okay, Odette, you win, That made me cry.
:)
I love this thread
you bet they work (still reading the rest of the thread - will update this when done):
I'd never done well in the dating scene so ages ago set up an RSVP account.
In 2003, after spending a few days in Canberra with some friends and unsuccessfully hooking up with one of the others there, I updated the account when I got home on the Friday.
By Sunday night I'd received 4 kisses... 2 were from others whose profiles I wasn't particularly interested in, and the other 2 were well let's see. Bought some RSVP stamps and sent emails to them both.
======================
Onto Jen's side: She was visiting a male friend (business colleague - just good friends) were both single again (for a few months) and had both used RSVP in the past. They decided to both update their profiles and made a promise to both send several kisses once a fortnight. She has a web based business so was on the computer a bit
======================
That was Saturday July 19th 2003 when I sent my first email to her (I still have all the emails). She wrote back Sunday arvo and the email "war" started. I had just resigned from an IT job and she worked from home, so both had anytime access to email.
I think on the Tues or Wed the other person replied, but by then, things were progressing nicely with Jen. At some stage we worked out our families came from the same area (Tocumwal/Finley, NSW) - and turned out they knew each other. Her uncle used to play cricket with my grandfather. We had property on the Murray River with our own beach and it's possible they might have stayed there - Jen's mum had moved to Sydney by then, but her grandmother and uncle etc still lived in Finley
During the email war we told a lot about ourselves to each other (I've just been back to have a look at some of them and theres some fantastic banter in there)
The next weekend I had to return to Canberra for a dinner on the Friday nigth with some other friends - she sent me a message saying she was missing our email war already - but was down in Jervis Bay visiting a friend who was in the middle of his chemo treatment, but wanted to meet. I returned back to Sydney on the Saturday and the emails started up again.
We did meet under the harbour bridge (north side) on the sunday night (7pm July 27). I took 2 bottles of wine which we drank over a couple of hours - she even kissed me :o - I was lying on my back looking up at the bridge recpvering from a rather silly joke that she had just told. After cleaning up and walking along the foreshore towards Luna Park hand in hand we kissed some more before going our separate ways.
She SMS'd me when she got home asking to meet up again the next day... as I wasn't working, I went around after lunch and we went to Coogee for late lunch/early dinner and then returned to her place. Around 10pm I said I guess I should leave and we can talk tomorrow when she asked me to stay. From that point on we were virtually inseparable - unless circumstances prevented us.
In December 2003 she moved in and made my house a home. Had to kick one of the two housemates out, with the 2nd one leaving 2 years later (Jan 2006) once Jordy was on his way. Gary lives across the road now and is still a good friend. We got married nearly 3 weeks ago - March 25th
I get on really well with Jen's parents, and they are very happy that we are together, and my family all get along really well with Jenny too - cant get any more perfect than that :)
I agree, there are some great stories in here but I think Odette has the sweetest one. I was tearing up too.
Yep Odette... you definitely win!!!
Your story was beautiful... thanks for sharing and congrats on finding your soulmate :)
Odette your story is beautiful.
Dh and I met at university in armidale. we both lived in the same college and kept our relationship secret for months (me newbie, him senior). Took us 10 years to get married though.
WOW there are some lovely heartwarming stories in here, Abs your story is so beautiful, as is yours odette I had to laugh when you said that DH said he was going to marry you in prep and you clobbered him oh how funny and so so sweet to boot.
The first time I layed eyes on my DH was at my house, I had gotten home from work and he was sitting outside with my younger bro and some other friends in the pool, I went out and said hi and then sat inside watching him through the blinds in our dining room he was absoluty gorgeous with a 6 pack and all I couldnt take my eyes off him,
I asked my bro who he was he told me to keep my hands off LOL so I left it at that,
A few moths later I started seeing a guy who was the older brother of my bros best mate and he happened to be the best mate of my now DH, Jeff and I hit it off instantly to the point it drove Steve crazy ( my then BF ) We use to sit up chatting all night while Steve went to bed as he was pretty boring LOL,
Steve and I broke up after about 5 months and I didnt see Jeff agian as he was steves friend,
almost a year went by and I went to a friends place for a few drinks and Jeff was there and unfortunatley so was steve and he wouldnt leave me alone, Steve asked me for a lift home after telling everyone he could have me if he wanted me hmmm I dont think so hahaha and I asked Jeff to come along for pretection,
We dropped steve off and went back to our mutual friends house where Jeff decided to show off with encouragement from a few drunk mates he decided to climb a brick wall 2 stories up and he fell down, and landed on his bum,:doh:
he couldnt get up so the mum of where we were rushed him in to hospital ( in the back of a ute mind you and we were in the city hmmmm ) and I followed in my car as I had not been drinking, I sat at the hospital for most of the night until I knew he was ok,
He had broken his back and was going to be in for quite a few days,
I then started sitting at the hospital with him for hours and hours a day every day instead of going to college *tut tut tut* then when it was time for him to go home I begged my mum to let him stay with us as his family were in the country and he didnt want to go there and she finaly caved and said ok,
We were still only friends at this point, After he moved in it was only a matter of a few weeks and we were together and he never went home LOL,
my mum said he had no choice but to stay with us and he had a broken back so he couldnt run away and I had my heart set on him so there was no escaping LMAO :cryinglaugh: , I fell pg with our ds 4 months after we got together,
that was in Feb 2000 and we married in Nov 2002.
We have had our ups and downs but I beleive in fate and I know we are just meant to be as we have gotten through some pretty tough things and here we are 7 and a half years later very happily married and very much in love, everything is the way it should be, and he is the only man I would marry even if I could change things I wouldnt, we now have 2 gorgeous children and another on the way and life is great.
