    My OH was originally my penpal.

    I suppose that was the 1970's equivalent of online dating!

    Another one at work. He asked me out for a drink about two months after I bolted when he gave me a lift home from a works do - I was so nervous! Glad he persevered though, he's lovely x :smileyhea

    Cookiee-that is horrible, I feel so badly that people could be so cruel. Although good on you for rising above it-and for your successful and lovely sounding relationship!

  • I must have spent way too much time at work over the years. That's where I met my hubby, and most of the guys I dated before him.
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!
  • At a wife swapping party!
    Chin up, Titus out.
  • We met through Scout Network about 6 years ago - I was 18 and he was 23. I was his first girlfriend.

    We were friends (erm, actually, I was dating another boy from the group :eek:) for about 3 months which meant I got to know him pretty well. I'm glad I did as he came with quite a lot of baggage but because I knew him well by the time we got together I stuck at it :o.We have been ridiculously happily married for 4 years.
  • Another one at work here - in fact we met just before I left that place so he almost missed me ;)

    Met him in a chat room.

    Started speaking on march 18, met him for the first time beginning of May for a weekend and then again at the end of May and he moved over on June 17.

    We were 600 miles apart in that time and he didn't know anyone or have a job or anything.

    It's now 12 years later and we are married
