    My friend dragged me to a party that I didn't want to go to, so subsequently I wore an old black hoody and baggy jeans. I'd also sworn off men after a bad date. My friend was trying to fix me up with H2B's best mate (and best man!) when I said "Look, if I was after anyone, WHICH I'M NOT, it would be him over there". He thought I looked like a boy but my friend convinced him I scub up OK!

    The rest is history ;)

    We met on the internet nearly 8 years ago, very whirlwind. We moved in together and broke up a month later as he had a breakdown and couldn't see any way out of it at the time. Anyway, 5 years later he gets back in touch saying he has tried to move on but he still loves me and only wants me forever. So he met me at Heathrow before I was due to fly out for my brothers wedding and we just fell back into how we used to be. He proposed a few months later, we moved in together, had a baby and next we just need to get married! :)

    Then I met him in a pub when we were 18, well i was, he almost was.....
    I really fancied his brother so didnt wanna go out with him.
    We didnt see each other until I was 23, by then his brother was older and the 6 pack had turned into a keg! lmao, i love my BIL really!!
    SO we got together, eventually after all that!! lol

    We met in a club, he was stood on his own holding all his mates coats not looking very well - I went to check he was ok and he told me it was his birthday so I went and told his mates off for leaving him! Later in the night one of his mates came and found me and said they we're having a house party and did I want to come. A couple of my mates agreed to go but when we met him outside he confessed that there was no party but his mates were trying to make up for leaving him. He said although he'd love me to go home with him that wasn't really his style but he'd love to take me out for a meal and get to know each other better. He was a perfect gentleman then and alway has been :0) xx

    a new night club was opening so me and my friend wanted to go to the launch. My H2B also wanted to go with his friend. Neither of us got in for several picky reasons the bouncers decided to have and in another club i spotted him again. He was kinda following me so I went to talk to him, gave him my number and left. Following week we went on a date which was disastrous and because I felt bad about the awful date (was kinda my fault - i thought he was a geek and pretended to be sick so went home. Turns out he thought i was a b***h!) When I went over to his the day after our awful date we got on really well. I kissed him before I left and said he could borrow my DVDs. Apparently he ran across the road to his best friend and told him he was excited i was coming back!!!!

    Rest is history and I kinda like our funny start to things :) xxx

    I played an online game called Everquest 2 (a bit like WoW), and because I played the game from when it launched, I had created my character on a US server as at that time there weren't any European ones. So most of the people in game were Americans.

    I played it with my ex, and he got an invite to a guild in the game, and got me an invite later. The guild was run by 2 guys, one in the US, and one in the UK. I got chatting to the UK based leader and we seemed to get on well. Meanwhile ex was turning into "Intolerant B**tard from Hell".

    Long story short - ex became ex, and I met up with the UK guild leader in real life, and we got on like a house on fire. I eventually rented a flat up near him to see if I liked the area, and he pretty much moved in with me :-) We've not been apart since!

    We met on his birthday (when I was celebrating mine, which is two days before) - me and my friend were queuing for a club and him and his mate walked past, stopped and asked if they could take photos of our shoes. We were like ok... And they said it was a website. I then asked for the website address, offering my eyeliner and hand to write it on, but instead he (cheekily) said that he'd text it to me if I gave him my number. So without even thinking I did! They bought us some drinks, I got very drunk, got off with another bloke and ended up in the loos throwing up. My friend found me and took me home, but at the bus stop, my now OH and his mate were there - they asked if I ok (I was still being sick... ugh!) and then the next morning, my OH text me asking how I was and it went on from there! Long, eventful story, but we're still together five years later!

    Shame the club we met at has now been demolished as part of the re-furb around Tottenham Court Road for the Olympics!

    I love hearing about how people met, reminds of the segments at the start and end of the film when Harry met Sally. I met my H2B when I worked at Starbucks as a summer job. he kept on coming in everyday for a drink (used to call him tall mocha no whip guy on account of his drink order) after a couple of weeks of this he caught me on a break one day and we started talking about the catcher and the rye (was the book I was reading) and the rest as they say is history.

    I smiled at my other half one night in a club but we were both too shy to go over and talk to eachother - a few nights later I got a random poke on FB - he had trawled through the club's Face book page and found my pic out of the hundreds of people who were on the page. Must have taken him forever god bless him!

    I met H2B on the internet through a mutual friend. He was with someone else at the time and I was kind of with someone too but we got on great as friends. 3 months down the line he and the woman he was with broke up. Cut to a month later we were in a chat room and someone assumed we were a couple so we thought it would be funny if we pretended we were. A week after that we realised theres was more to us than friendship, and the rest they say is history. We agreed to move in together and get married before we even met in person (which took a full year from when we got together for lots of different reasons) and now 7 months later I've booked the registry office and bought my wedding dress :D

    I've known my h2b since I was in the sixth form, he used to got out with one of my school friends. We had our first dance together when I was 18 to Angels by Robbie Williams - before his ex's best mate (also a school friend) dragged me off and warned me stay away from him :S Always bumped into him and his best mate (now best man) round town, and always liked him - but was always something (like one of us seeing someone else) that got in the way. Then he stopped going out for a while and when I next saw him a couple of years later it turned out that he'd gotten married and had a baby, but the marriage had failed and they were divorcing. I had just split up with my at the time fiance so things still weren't good for us, and I didn't see him again for another two years! When we did finally manage to get together, almost three years ago now, it didn't take us very long at all to come to the conclusion that we didn't want to be apart at all - and six weeks later me and the girls started a month long process of moving in with him. Haven't looked back - despite the nightmare ex determined to split us up lol

    i met my H2B on a sort of blind date! his friends are friends of my friends, there was a group that went out often in couples, i was single my OH was single (both had been thru bad relationships) my friend kept pestering me to meet H2B for a drink so we could make up another couple on nights out. his friend was pestering him also. we were both adament we didnt want to as didnt want a relationship, and oh was due to move back to scotland within a few months anyway. after being pestered for months, and full of vodka, my friend dared me to message H2B on FB... me not wanting to turn down a dare messged him, but got no reply. a month later the same thing/dare, so messaged him again, still no reply lol a few weeks later we were both on FB chat and got talking, mainly laughing at how our friends were trying to set us up. we chatted for days and got on well, and agreed to met for a drink, knowing neither of us wanted anything more. we met, went for a curry and drink and got on so well! he moved back to scotland a couple of months later and we spent months and months travelling. the distance (240miles) got too much so eventually he found a job down here and moved in with me and my children...... now we getting married this year!!!

    21st October 2011 will be the best day of my life!!!

    I came up to Stoke for the weekend to see my friend we ended up in a Vodka bar in a town Id never been too and Chris was there with his mate (1st time hed been out since hed split from his gfriend) My friend thought his mate was cute and I thought Chris was cute so we wandered over .........turns out his mate is an idiot but didnt stop Chris and I from having a giggle, after much messing with his phone I finally put my number in it for him and we then proceed to have 3 dates in that weekend .
    We then spent the next 3 months commuting between Stoke to Essex, until I moved up to Stoke in July, he told me he wanted to marry me after a month, showed me the church etc and he finally asked my dad over Christmas (wedding ahs been booked since Nov) so now Im just waiting for him to ask me lol xx

    We met at the gym, we were both married but I know his marriage was over but mine wasn't, after ex hubs left I saw Mark at sainsburys on valentines day no less! He told me he had left his wife and of course my ex had left me and the kids too, so I started seeing him, just for 10 mins each day as his ex was being really nasty blaming me for splitting them up????? lol Anyway July he moved in, his ex moved 200 miles away so it's all good. I wish I had met him years ago but sometimes I think you need to go through the bad stuff to appreciate the good ;0)
