    We actually met online beginning of September, we met on the 14th and then was together on 25th September :)
  • You know the friends that you have who have a partner? Well that partner has 3 single friend all desperate to meet someone like you.

    Why don't you organise a social event where 2 or 3 of you friends bring along their partner, and some of those bring along a single friend?

    Summer BBQ, Dinner Party, Theatre Trip, Go Karting, Climbing Wall, paint balling,

    Basically, you need to be pro-active.

    I worked in a bar and he worked in a garage round the corner. I used to take my car in to the garage and he used to come in to the pub when he finished.

    We knew each other for a few months before we went on a "date" and we've been together even since (3.5 years)
  • Plenty of Fish here too...
    I was late 30s, freshly separated from my husband and hadn't been on a date since I was 16. I joined Plenty of Fish, chatted to lots of guys but was too scared to meet any of them...until I met Mr G! Nearly three years later we living together, engaged and getting married on May 3rd!

    I met my OH when I did a part time job in the Uni holidays, however my sister met hers just through mutual friends, my parents met at a NYE party and my most newly engaged best friend met hers on plenty of fish :)

    When we were both working in the Philippines - he was my next door neighbour. His Engleesh waz not zee best at zat point, but I was a sucker for the French accent and it all started there, 7 years ago ;)

    Getting married next June :D

    Ah, the Philippines.

    When I went there to work I moved into a shared house with five lovely girls (all sisters). Eventually I just married the eldest.

    A friend of mine went on holiday to Australia, and got a cheap flight that involved a change of 'planes in Manila (Philippines). Even that short visit was long enough for him to meet the woman he later married!

  • Mine is a friend of my lodger. We'd been friends for a year but were both in relationships; we got together a few months after our relationships ended. We'd never looked at each other twice before that!
