    I met him in a club, we stayed in touch online and in passing for three years before getting together after meeting in the same club. This is the edited version, the accurate version is not suitable for a family forum.

    We met in gay bar!!! His brother was my friend/collegue at the time.
    My mum kept saying how I shouldn't keep going to the gay village as I would never meet anybody there! Wow! How wrong! lol I included this tale in my wedding speech and made my mum admit she was wrong. x

    We had met a few times through mutual friends at uni, then re-met on a night out a couple of years later... he cracked out the old classic "do you come here often?" line, to which i replied "not really, as i've moved to london and am just visiting!". Somehow we both managed to get over our hatred of small talk and several years later here we are. Happy as Larry! :)

    We met in Upper Sixth - two of our friends had been dating and brought our friendship groups together.

    We all played Animal Snap in the sun one lunchtime and the two of us flirted massively haha. There was an ongoing "in joke" where those around us would ask each other "Do you feel dirty?" - apparently we had such a visible connection they felt they were intruding on a private conversation/moment whenever we were together!

    A month or so later we became an item and haven't looked back - been through A levels, University and a year in Australia together :) Xx

    We met through a friend that I worked with at my nursery who was dating his friend in the army! we texted for about 3 weeks before meeting up on our blind date :-) We got very drunk, I fell asleep in a toilet and then lost my purse....ooops! he could hardly stand up and then poked me in the eye with a jumbo sausage from the take away on the way home! But here we are 5 years later with 3 year old twin boys :-)

    He turned up at my doorstep, was there to meet my housemate. I answered the door in my dressing gown!!! He tells me it was love at first sight!!! It took me almost 6 months to realise I liked him more than just a friend. We started dating 3 days before xmas 2007 and he moved in with me on the 5th January 2008!!! I then left to go travelling in February. In May he flew half way around the world to meet me and proposed on the beach 5 days later!!!!!
    After a whirlwind start we slowed things down and now 4 years later we will finally be husband and wife.

    We met when I was 16 and he was 21 in Lourdes, France! H2b was on a cycling trip across France raising money for charity and I
    was there with a youth group doing two weeks of voluntary work in the hospitals. I initially became friends with h2b's brother quite by accident as he was actually working alongside me. I had seen my h2b in passing around the little town and thought 'he's a looker' but didn't think anything of it or make the connection until our group went out for drinks after work. H2b's brother suggested we meet up with his own brother/friends, and lo and behold there he was in a little bar. I was very shy and didn't say a word, not until I got back from the bar and he had taken my seat. We argued for a while over who should take the seat, and I suggested we compromise by plonking myself down on his knee. He didn't complain, and we have been inseparable ever since! 7 years later we've just bought a beautiful house and are getting married next August :)

    We met 1 week after we both left secondary school at his sister's 21st birthday. I was only invited as my friends' mum (who was also a family friend of H2B) was sick, so to keep her company she invited me. So it was only a chance meeting which involved me putting lipstick on him and offically starting "going out" a week later, although we were holding hands, and seeing each other every day pratically (or every weekend while we were at Uni). We are now getting married next June on our 10 year anniversary :D

    Our lives were a bit like the film sliding doors. We lived along side each other going to all the same places and knowing all the same people. His dad used to cut my hair. He worked just up the road from me. We finally met through facebook. I kept popping up on the people you might know bit and we shared 70 friends! He asked some of our friends about me and did a friend request. I looked at the request and thought ' I must know him, we share all the same friends!'
    We got talking on facebook and after a few months he asked me out and I said no!!!! Luckily, we carried on talking and after another few months I suggested we meet.
    The first time we met it was like meeting an old friend and we've been inseparable ever since

    We met through a friend in a nightclub in Swansea. I didn't know who he was when I saw photos of him on my camera the next day. Our friend told him my name, he found me on Facebook. We didn't speak to each other, then he started playing Mafia Wars and sending me things so we started talking through that. We went for a coffee and instantly clicked. So yeah, we met through a Facebook game! :D

    We were placed as lab partners in our undergrad chemistry degree. We were friends for about 2 and a half years and never even really thought about each other like that. Next thing we both know we are in the middle of a sober (honestly) "sleepover" and I never moved out.

    My h2b seemed to know my family for years but i never met him until i was 19 and he was 34. My friends dad bought a pub and i started going in there when i was 17 (obv drinking cola) i never met him once but used to speak to his dad as he had worked with my dad for years i didn't know him apart from in the pub. H2B had been bad ways years ago and (he was a heroin addict clean for 10 years now!) he had worked with his and my dad at the time and my dad had to bail him out of trouble a few times anyway his dad told me to tell my dad that he had got married and sorted himself out, i remember sayin to him is he good looking your son then 2 years later i was in said pub with my friend and her boyfriend i had gone behind the bar to change the cd and he walks in and asks for a pint of carling. i wasnt working there and told him so and he asked what i was doing behind the bar i ended up serving him and got quite a queue i fancied him straight away but i knew he was married anyway we spoke all night after i found out he had split from wife a month before and we were inseperable ever since we moved in after 4 months together and now getting married. my biggest fear was telling my dad but he accepted it and expressed what a lovely guy my h2b was and ive never looked back x

    My H2b went to high schoolwith my best friend. We had met each other several times but never really got chatting (both seeing other people at the time)

    A few years later one of my friends was having a Drs and nurses themed 21st birthday party. He used some cheeky chat up line (can't really say on here lol) it made me laugh and we got chatting, have been inseperable since. That was 5 1/2 years ago

    We met online, we spent 3 months sending emails back and forth, sometimes five or six a day, we arranged to meet in my town, I met him off the train and that was it. Within a month of that day we were talking about moving in together and getting married and having lots of children. He is my perfect man and I can't believe how lucky I am to have found him. The thing is I went to uni In Leicester and he lived in Nottingham, at that time we would each go to gigs in each city, we had even been to some of the same gigs and had probably been only a few feet apart but never met yet one little thing written on a website brought us together

    We met online, Id been up for hours with my little girl and it was still only 5am, and he'd just landed after working away for a few weeks so was trying to keep awake. We talked all day and then emailed constantly for 6 weeks, whereupon he eventually drove to see me - he lived in Stoke and me in Hull, and then we saw each other weekly, he moved in 6 months later in the december and here we are now...Id like to say its been easy but it hasnt. It has been worth it though.

    I had just split with my husband of 13 years and now being a single mother of two little girls was bored on my own at night time.
    So a friend suggested I joined a site so I could chat to other adults in my area.....so I did!
    On this site I met a few ppl and one of those was my now h2b.
    We chatted about everything really but there was never anything more then friendship.

    4 months later we realised that we had planned to go out with our respective work to the same place so decided that we would make a point of saying hello to each other.
    So that night I went out with work which was around 20 ppl and looked out for him, half way through the night in he walks ALONE!!!
    After texting him to tell him to look up we fianally met in person.
    Neither of us realised till a friend told me later but we held hands all night hehehe
    the rest as they say is history

    We met online - I only went onto this particular site because a male friend of mine wanted me to see what his then girlfriend was doing as he couldnt trust her and thought she was seeing someone else behind his back, so asked me if i could check on this guys profile and see if there was any messages from her, well this guy was my h2b, I left a message in his saying ' hi Colin passing through , nice piccys. Claire ' He replied back the same day with ' Thanks Claire you have some lovely piccys - you will be snapped up by some lucky guy soon enough.' : ) from then on we were chatting a couple of times a day, we talked on the phone once a day, it was strange, our paths could have crossed a couple of times in our lifetimes, we both were at the Simple Minds concert in 1986 - only differnce was i had a long coach trip and parted with money for a ticket, whereas Colin lived around the corner and at the time there was no one to stop you climbing the fence so that is what he did, then again in 1997 i was staying with my dad and step mother in Southsea, watching the runners doing the south run on the sea front - turns out Colin was one of those runners! so after a few months we met, at the time I lived in Southampton and he Northampton. The moment he walked in the door I knew that this was it, as corny as that sounds, he said he pretty much felt the same way, within a few weeks we were talking about moving in with each other, I didnt need to hesitate, I sat my girls down and said what Colin and I were thinking of and did they think it was a good idea, they couldnt wait to move. A year later I moved my twins and myself up to Northampton to be with him. So looking back to that first online message, he is the lucky guy.

    My daughters father walked out on us when she was 9 months, and really hit me bad. I worked as a vet nurse and so shifts were all over place, so never really socialised much. One of my friends said i should try online dating.... wasnt very keen on the idea but did it, after a year of not really going on the site, i decided to give it another go, Alex started talkin to me, after a few weeks of talking online we met, had a nightmare 1st date but we met again and it went from there and we've been together 4 years :) So glad he picked me haha! xx

    I met my Gorgeous Fiancee at a RAVE lol. I just come out of a bad relationship by few weeks, and was on a girls night out with my mate rosie and we decided to make it a bit more fun, we had a game, we had to get 5 things from 5 different bloke - glow sticks - drink - a hug - a number - a kiss

    i was trying to get the sexy lad to give me his glow sticks for few minutes but he was having none of so i explained and he said i could have a kiss instead, so we kissed and it was the most magical kiss ever. now im not the type to just kiss a random bloke. Well me and rosie had to get a phone number still so the race was on, when we finished i looked around all night for the bloke that i kissed and couldn't find him (although the way he tells it i walked past him loads of time just didn't notice) anyways no number no nothing just a kiss to remember and a mention the he was going to the same rave i was in Amsterdam a month later. For 3 days i searched book face to find the guy i had kissed and we chatted a little not mentioning the kiss.

    A month later i flew to Amsterdam for another huge rave QLIMAX and out of 27.000 people who did i bump in to yep the guy i kissed a month earlier at a rave!! this time i got a photo with him and a number, But i knew it must be fate, 27,000 people and i bump into him :)

    Anyways back in the uk a week later we met up and that was it! a year later almost to the day (this Saturday) and were engaged and planning a weeding and couldn't be more in love <3 love my h2b trillions xxxx

    My OH is a friend of my ex's. I was with my ex for 18months and so spent a lot of time with my OH and we became friends. I even talked him into asking out his ex. When me and my ex split I continued hanging out with his friendship group (which had become mine) and me and OH became closer and closer. I considered him my best friend for a whole year before he kissed me one NYE (which was a good 2 years after splitting with his friend, so was not an issue). That was almost 7 years ago. Yikes!

    I met my h2b though my ex who was his mate. me and my ex were only together on and off for a few months.
    Had been single for 9 months when His friend added me on facebook, for first few months nothing more than "hi you ok?" was exchanged between us then he added me to msn and began chatting loads then exchanged numbers and 4 months later we were meeting up and hit it off big time!. Got together, year later went on holiday to turkey together and he proposed on the beach :)!
    Deffinately the best thing i ever did accepting his friend request on book of face! :D !!
