How did you meet your partner?

Next year will be 25 years together.

He was lodging at a mate from work's house. She and her boyfriend organised a pool competion and since he wasn't from our dept she got Mr C to be the referee.

He allowed her to cheat outrageously and actually persuaded most that it was legitimate - I liked the cut of his gib.

And being a biker helped.

Me and Mrs SB have been together over 20 years now, and will have been married for 20 years in a few months time.
Lots of things drew us together. Her mother and that Black Cat of hers playing no small part. Smells a bit but has a heart of Gold.
Wouldn't change her for the world....................

Online on an MUD based on the discworld books. I was coder for the game and forgot to make myself invisible one day. She took the opportunity to lick my elbow and it all went downhill from there. That was nearly 11 years ago now.

Houseshare in London, while I was a student. I had no idea she had a crush on me until one day she just kissed me out-of-the-blue. It'll be 10 years in March, and 3 years married the following month.

Funny to see the 'crash' romances - must be something in that - my parents had a head-on collision as their first meeting. mum in a Triumph (Spitfire, I think), and dad in a Healey Sprite. He still has the wrecked steering wheel from that car hung up in the utility room - fits his chest perfectly.

Have you actually met her in person yet?

If I haven't I want to know who the hell I've been living with for the last 10 years!

Inspired by MP's sanitary encounter, and as an antidote to all the dumping threads, how / where did you meet your other half?

Met mine when I was 17 - working for the MOD. Took us a year to get it together (he had a gf - I made sure I was a sympathetic ear when she dumped him). We used to make sure we were on the security rota together (staying after everyone left to check the cupboards were locked) and snog behind the cabinets.

Married a few years later, and just done 20 years (I would say 'celebrated', but as he forgot, we didn't...)

How did you land yours?

I vomited in her handbag...

And they say Romance is dead!!

It's the truth ... now how I met my first wife, that's a much better story.

Met her at a goth event in Whitby. She was wearing her vampie fangs and contact lenses!
