    How did you meet?

    How did you meet your partner?


    I met my husband at a pool hall. He was making eye contact but was too shy to talk to me, so I offered him a ciggie (after he put his last ciggie out!). He said I was beautiful and we hung out until evening. He walked me home

    He started calling me Fiona, I asked why since my name is Audrey, he said because I'm just like Fiona (from the movie Shrek) because I'm beautiful during the day, but ugly at night. I said that he must be Shrek then... because he is always ugly.

    And now we are married with a baby girl!

    I still call him Shrek and he still calls me Fiona!


    What about your stories? Anything funny, romantic, insane!? Were you hooked up or did you meet by accident or were you always friends?

    I met my partner online. I wasn't looking for anything or anyone. I was playing a game where you can get into groups with other people to kill the badies. He was talking to someone in our group and I did a LOL. I thought the other person he was talking to was his wife the way they were bantering back and forth. When he said whatever it was he said and I laughed his attention was drawn to me because I got the joke. It was sarcastic. She didnt get what he was saying so I explained it to her. He started to talk privately to me and I asked him if his wife would be ok with us talking. He thought it was funny that I assumed it was his wife and cool that I would respect her enough to check and make sure it was ok with her that we were talking. Turned out he wasnt married and it went from there.

      I went through a long separation and divorce and I had my "list of standards" that I wasn't going to stray from! I had a talk with God and told Him that I really could be happy single but if He was going to put someone in my life then I wanted to be wowed! I had gone on some dates but the other guys didn't meet my standards. One day, one of my work's vendor's inside salesman came into our office to bring lunch. He was so cute! I loved his eyes and I thought "wow" (and this was months after my prayer)! He mentioned that he worked for one of our project manager's in the past so after he left, I got some information on him and started to email him. I wasn't very good at the flirting, lol...but FINALLY he got it (he thought I was married because of a ring I was wearing--wrong hand though) and we went to the circus on our first date and a year and a half later we were married!

                    I've known my bf since I was about...11 because he was a friends boyfriend! At the time I thought 'aww he's pretty cute, nice one vicky!' they were together for 2 years so we never really spoke, never really acknowledged each other! apart from the odd glance on my part cos he was a cutie

                    Then a few years went past and we both started 6th form college and that's when the sparks started to fly

                    We'd both taken the same course (drama) and we had to get changed for a performance, because they were being rushed he just stripped his top off so I said ' :O Davids getting naked!' his reply was 'Don't make everyone look Grace! Come on, we'll go in the cupboard' (I didn't) then off he trotted to get changed...I was thinking...hmm, yeah he's still got it

                    The next day:
                    I was sat at a desk in the common room and him and his friend Reece came over and sat with us, I spoke to Reece quite often so there was no shyness whatsoever and they'd caught me in a silly sarcastic giggly mood...I was laughing, so my David laughed, which surprised me (cos I don't think im very funny) so I laughed because he was laughing...etc etc etc you get the picture! After that I was completely smitten.

                    later on that day I went round my friend Shannons and she was on msn, then he started talking to her. She said he never speaks to her so it was a bit out of the blue. Shannon went and got in the shower and I took over and asked him for his email address


                    It all just escalated from there!
                    We were talking one day and we spoke about pretty much everything and heres some of the stuff that came up:

                    He never really spoke to me in school because he was friends with my cousin and if he said he fancied me he was scared he'd be beaten up haha

                    He started talking to Shannon on msn to ask for my email address but I beat him to it

                    and after our laughing fit in the common room pretty much sealed the deal for him

                    Aw, I love him we've been together a year and 1 month
