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 my DF at relay for life (which is a charity event) & the only reason we actually spoke was because he threw a glowstick at me at hit me under the eye causing a cut
I still have this glowstick hanging in my room..that was over 5years ago & we have been engaged for over 1 year..& have planned the big day for next year
DH and I worked together and were friends for 3 years before we got together. I was 16 when we became friends and he was 21. We would often go out for drinks/dinner together but PURELY as friends for years. Just before we got together he was seeing one of my friends and I was seeing one of his friends (this was by chance - no deliberate set ups) and in that we found some common ground talking about relationships. After a while we started to really fall for each other (I was 19 he was 24). We broke up with our respective partners and the rest, as they say, is history!
We have been together for 4 years (in August) and married for 1 year (in September).
