Yes
As above, how did you find love. After many failed relationships, and nothing happening with chef in the end, I'm on the lookout again...just wondering about how others met their partners.

Your experiences please.

We met over the internet on another forum :D We met in 2004 and are still very happily together.
 
i met my other half on something called Zoosk via facebook :naughty:

http://www.zoosk.com is the direct link if you dont want to go via facebook
which i wouldn't now as some people have had trouble removing it from their profile :shrug: it went first click for me :shrug:

just go on there, have a flirt & see how you go ;)

a couple of other people i know used "plenty of fish" but never been on so can't say one way or another :shrug:

good luck :)
 
i bumped into my wife 14 years ago , I was out on a thurs night with my mate and saw my wife and her mate (who i knew) in a local pub , we spoke to them for a hour or so and to be honest i didn't like my wifes attitude that much ! later on in the night we saw them again and my mate offered them a lift home (he hadn't been drinking) , I sat in the back of my mates mini with my future wife and my mate announced he needed something to eat , him and the girl who was sat in the front went to the chippy and left us two sat in the car. As soon as they were out of sight she was all over me like a cheap carpet !!!

the rest as they say is history !
 
Stop looking but put yourself in the right place i.e. there is nothing wrong with the internet dating sites but just use them to meet and have fun.

Then stop judging, just have fun,you will know when its the right one

stew,
 
My wife moved into my flat!

I was a student at the time, the flat was emtpy during the summer and My chinese freind phoned me and asked if one of her friends could stay there for a couple of months.

I was up in Aberdeen and I travelled down to my best freinds 21st birthday in London, on the way back I decided to from in on the flat to see how she was getting on.

She was stunning! she said that I looked tired and I should go and sit down, So I was sitting in my living room, She then produced one of my home brewed bottles of ale that I thought had been finished months ago.

She then went back to cleaning the floor and asked me "when was the last time I mopped the floor?" at that point I relised she had gone out and bought a mop! So I told her that my previous flatmate must have stolen my old (non exsistant) mop, and thought to myself "you can stay!" :D

Sounds like you may be trying too hard.

If you can, avoid the mindset that it is something that must happen in your life.

It does not have to happen. Many get through life perfectly contented without it. Some go through life wishing it had never happened.

If it happens then fine. If not then so be it. Walk on and don't look back.
 
I met Ali through my sister on MySpace. Her profile picture was her dressed in 80's gear pole dancing as Madonna at her friends hen do. I didn't fancy her at all, but thought she looked like a mentalist. Turns out she was cos she drove 100 miles to my house to meet me.

2 months later we both moved to Leeds together, two years later married, and in 3 months we're having our first son. :)
 
I met my better half on the tinternet in 1998 after the break up of my 1st marriage broke down due to the 1996 incident.

I would agree with that.

Tea Over Screen moment :thumbs:

It's never really found me, wake up in the morning bank card gone T.V gone, i can't handle that. Might as well just stay single

Single Pringle :)
 
I met my wife on New Years Eve 2005 in a club. We had a great night together. Exchanged numbers, partied company for the night, got in touch the next day and the rest just fell into place.

Best bit was, that night neither of us were out looking, we were both out to party and celebrate new year.
 
The last one i met on a train back from London.

She kept on talking when all i wanted was some shut eye.
 
Shockingly LOL,

I met Julie, when we worked at the same place she was a sewing machinist and I was working on a printing press, I had to collect the nylon bags, she was sewing from the machinists and take them to be printed, I touched her hand and gave her a massive static electric shock, later that day, at lunch break I asked if she was OK, and could I sit at her table, she said yes, after a few days I plucked up courage to ask her out to the cinema, she said yes, that was, 35yrs ago, we were married a year later, in December we've been happily married for 34yrs, have 3 children 12 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter. :)

Some good stories everyone thanks for sharing :thumbs:

I met my other half when I had just turned 17 in a night club, we've been together for 14years now married for 9 (got married 5yrs to the day we met :) ) of them and have 2 fab kids, we have are ups and downs but work through it.

I think it helps us more that he works away quite a bit (he's forces) so it makes us appreciate each other more :)

met on match.com !

as did a couple of our greatest friends too

only comment would be you have to go out and look - even on match - don't just sit there and wait for it to happen - and expect to meet a few frogs before you meet your prince!!!
 
Changing the subject a bit, I walked past OCS yesterday and saw some great photos on display :thumbs:
 
You'll find someone! :D I found it a bit disheartning - asked this girl out, said yes, and then never responded, despite arranging it! Now she doesn't speak about it at all, just chat as friends. then the 2nd one, likes me, but not in that way! Ah well, I've signed up to zoosk, you do the same, you never know! :D
 
Met in a pub in 2004 I think or maybe 2003? Been married 18 months now.
 
Arranged marriage.
Falling in love is easy, staying in love is hard work.
And marriage is about companionship rather than romantic love.
Look for it, I'd say, and when you find it, work hard to keep it going.
 
I'd like to add to the above story of mine that I was single for 5 years before I met Ali. You really never know when it'll happen. :D
 
Met at a party in 98, snogged, exchanged numbers, dinner, sex, moved in, engament, wedding in 99, baby 1 in 2000, new house, baby 2 in 2003, moved to bigger house in 2009, baby 3 on way.

:)
 
You only ever find one true love so when you do work to keep it Its worth the effort to avoid the pain

I met my hubby through another hobby, we clicked and we have been together 20 years married for almost 12. Second time around for both of us and we still have fun together. I think it helps that we like the same things, photography and travel especially. Don't look for love it will find you.
 
Sarah don't be too dissheartened I've been on my own for the last 7 years. My ex did the dirty on me.

She was the love of my life and we where married 15 years.

At nearly 50 and with middle age spread I still have never given up hope of finding someone to share my life. I've had a couple of short relationships but they went nowhere.

Now I do my thing and keep on truckin as they say. Maybe one day it will happen and maybe oneday it won't.

Do spend a little time thinking about what you want out of life though. I did and I realised it's simpler than I used to think.

Now I just want a lightmeter and other bits and bobs. I don't think about a new partner although I do still hope.

Find things in life to make it interesting and you may just find someone who shares those interests.
 
As with a couple of other posters before, I met my now wife on match.com. Been together for 4 years, married for 10 months and expecting our first child in October.

I also know a few others who met their now husbands/wives on the internet.

Good luck with whichever method you choose. :thumbs:
 
on a more serious/less lecherous note I shoved a profile on gk2gk.com a while back but theres only 3 girls vaguely close and thats to me at uni. Never had the guts to actually email one :p

Might tell it I'm home and try locals here.
 
I don't believe in Love.
 
Had a drunken new years fumble with the now missus back in 1995. Been together ever since. Bought house together in 1998, I was 21, wife was 19, Married in 2001, I was 24, wife was 22, first little one arrived in 2007, next one due January. So now been together for 15 years.

She was sitting behind my in gcse business studies for a year and I never really noticed her, then she walked in one day when she was sitting elsewhere and WOW! :D

Took me 9 months & 1 kiss to get her to go out with me. I had a bad rep for some reason and she was a 'good' girl. Got married last year.

We are now 29 & this is our 13th year together :)
