How did you meet your wife, hubby, partner?

[jimboalee]

Just check all the postings in case someone has said how I met my wife ( ex ).

On a dancefloor in a night club. Friday 13th January 1984. Guess how it ended.

At a local pub. I was 17 and she was 16. We went to different schools in the local area.

First met my wife when she was 14 , i was 16.
Can't remember the very first time we met but at some stage i was working for a surveying company driving a Landrover, full offroad setup at 17. Our crew used to drive into Bingham (for anyone that knows it) and stock up on provisions for the day.
5 or 6 Landrovers, great big tyres and powerful engines...being driven by 17 to 25 year olds....it was a fun time. Lots of attention just by the larking around we used to get up to.
Debra (my future wife) and Deborah, her best mate were in their last year at school used to be in the market square at the same time we all did....there was lots of eyeing and giggling from the girls, i wasn't sure which one fancied me at first (i'd like to think it was both....and i'm not sure if it was both ).

We married young (no need to go into details )...and are still together 33 years later.
Deborah went out with a good mate of mine at the time, and they married later. We all still see each other occasionally even though they're still in Notts and we're now in Peterborough.

through a mutual interest in Amateur dramatics. I was a member of the society she joined, I knew most folk there and had just got back together with an ex. As soon as I saw Mrs B I was interested, she is 5ft 11in tall I am 6ft 5 (recently got-back-with-ex was about 5ft 5) and sooo pretty. Didn't get together 'til about a year later whgen we were involved in a different show and I literally pursued her (when she twigged I fancied her, every time I came near she legged it!).
That was 1993 and here we are, 13.5 years married and 2 kids later

She must have stopped running for a few minutes, at least.

Like a few others, Mrs Uncle Phil and I both took matters in hand a joined a dating agency. It seems unromantic, but hey, we're still in love and still married fifteen years later.

I think that dating agencies can work really well, as long as people are honest about what they want and who/what they are.

I met a couple of very nice women through an agency. Neither was 'the one' but they were well worth getting to know, and one is still a good friend, nearly 10 years on.

Having said that, I find some of the nonsense that goes on with online dating pretty funny. One woman told me that she went to meet a tall, tanned, athletic 35 year old only to be confronted by a short, fat, pasty-faced 50 year old! She asked him why he'd told such bare-faced lies about himself and his response was "If I'd told you the truth, you wouldn't have wanted to meet me!" What did he think she would do when she finally met him - fall in love with the sound of his voice?

I'd rather read a detailed profile of a would-be partner than chance my luck in a crowded bar.

If you ask my boyfriend, he'll tell you that we met at uni a few times. I don't remember it at all! As far as I'm concerned we met a couple of years later in a nightclub.

I was thinking specifically about the two kids and thinking that it's better to suggest she stopped running than trying to picture how conception would work.

No.1 - run out on her or was it the third man that caught you out?

No.2 - funny shaped balls didn't help

At least you've bought a Ti bride now to keep your seatpost warm.
