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).
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!
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
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....
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.
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!'.

: had to mention Grace!
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.
