An ex of mine from many years ago, we went to school together and were great buddies for many years, would have laughed if some creepy seer dude came up and said that we would get together. One year we went together to a B&S ball in outback Queensland. We had a roaring time, both drank way too much and I had the glorious honour of holding her hair back whilst she vomited, in that quaint way that women do to each other (me not being a woman though). We had booked a motel room (no fancy hotel stuff in this particular town) for twin singles but found when we had checked in earlier in the day that they had stuffed up our booking so we had a double room. We went back to the motel and took to peeping out our window on two couples who were naked and getting loudly jiggy in the pool outside our room. Not in a creepy way, mind - just in that ''oh my god you should see what they're doing now'' way, like giggly teenagers. We finally went to bed, off to sleep, the both of us woke up many times cuddling each other, with more Emesis Hair Protection (TM, all rights reserved). Nothing sexual happened, we didn't even try for a grope with each other. It was quite lovely - even the vomiting - but when we woke in the morning we both knew that we had crossed some kind of line and couldn't really look each other in the eye. For the first time I found myself attracted to her. I brought it up on the drive home and she was all aghast, that was the end of that. A week went by and she hadn't called which was highly unusual. I thought ''right, we need to sort this'' so I went around to her place and pretty much demanded she come for a drive with me for a talk. We went out to our local lake, sat up the lookout and (long story short) we argued but then she agreed that we could give it a go. I mean, I had protected her hair (mostly - the odd bit of the inevitable carrot did make its' way into the weave) from regurgitated contents, right? I deserved at least a trial run. Strangely enough, she wanted to see how I kissed so we had rather an extended pash session and that was that really - we were hooked on each other. For a time. We are still mates though. That was the most interesting (and sweetest) one.

I met Mr AandE on an online dating site 5 years ago. We chatted alot, then moved to texting, then on New Year's Day (against my usual rules) he came over to my place so we could meet in person, and well that was that! We were married in the October of the same year and while we have had some ups and downs, we are more madly in love with each other than ever :)

Through work. Mind you that was 18 years ago before online dating was popular or there were phones with apps.

All my serious relationships were off apps, because they all occurred pre-apps. So,it would skew the appearance of how I meet people. All recent (last 4 years)on-going lovers have been from meet sites/apps. Previous relationships - At work / At a bar / Through Uni / Through a mutual friend.

Long story short they're still my friends. My ex-husband approached me at a Nightclub, we chatted then his nephew got into a heated discussion so he went off to rescue him. Later that night some bloke was trying to crack onto me and my gf (like a sister, deceased not long after this night) thought it would be funny to say old mate from earlier was my bf loud enough so he came over sat beside me, tapped his lap intimating I should sit on his knee. Shelly was loving my horrified expression!! And I had to sit on his lap to get the other 'tard to leave me alone! (Far away look) we gave him a lift home, went in for tea, he gave me a silver bracelet he'd been holding onto for someone special....he gave Shelly a box of mixed reef fillets (over $200 worth back then), a gonzo fish and some dried sea horses. 😂 I left a note on his fridge thanking him for his kindness and my number. 4wks later he called and spoke with my Dad of all people!! Anyway, we ended up married, had kids and now divorced. He's my best friend still, I love that man to death!! I just wasn't a good wife.....it was years later that I found that note I left on his fridge. Shelly had (unknown to me) added a love heart and kisses to the note which prompted him to call me. She died 5mths after that night.....and gifted me with a beautiful man to look after me after she was gone. Michael was the sweetest. My current partner and I met on eHarmony. Social experiment that lasted 12hrs for me....first of 2 men, spoke on phone for about 3hrs the first time. Met a couple of days later. He was supposed to be just a throwaway fuck. That was 2.5yrs ago. 😂 I can see me as an old woman living with Chocky Desire AND my ex-husband....is it weird that I don't think that's weird? ~ Indy

Does that mean I now need to add a disclaimer to my profile 🤣 1st serious boyfriend was as a teenager and we met through friends. Love him to bits and still talk to him most weeks. 2nd (my x husband) through work 3rd again through a friend. Should have just been a fling but bad decisions were made by me at the time. Potentially the 4th, through tinder. His first message simply said "hook up" .... so romantic, completely swept me off my feet. Not sure where it's going yet but I'm happy to stick around for a bit longer

Was checking out Mrs Poly ass at work one day when she bent over to get something from the bottom draw and thought to myself....mmmmmmmmmm ....not be superficial, at all LOL....we hung out for about 6 months in a group of friends (knowing we were attracted to each other without taking it anywhere) till eventually gave Mrs Poly an ultimatum, either we go out or Ill chase someone elses ass LOL...kidding (but you get the jist).....the rest is history so to speak..... I still find myself checking out Mrs Polys ass now and again when she bends over to grab something off the floor though

I'm guessing school comes under community then? We went to school and while we slept with each other and made out we were never officially an item and went our seperate ways until my housemates pub crawl about 5 years after I graduated. We went home together after copious amounts of alcohol and giving the taxi driver an eyeful and became fuckbuddies which turned into her moving in to the bachelor pad (I still miss that place). 18 years later and we're still together.

I met my gorgeous husband on a 'red rattler' (train). I had taken the day off to see my godmother who was suffering cancer, 27 years ago the prognosis was grim :( Having spent the day with her and leaving the hospital I thought I'd do something for myself whilst I waited for a friend to finish work and we were going to grab a drink. I decided to get a facial (means something else now lol) and had my make up done. I already had a lovely dress on. Well a couple of drinks turned into many but we still had to get home to a country town from Melbourne CBD. On the platform we walked past a very hot tradie and we encouraged him to come sit with us in train. He played hard to get but eventually did. Now everyone has the one hot friend, that when you go out, they get all the attention. Well this time, the gorgeous tradie didn't have eyes for her but for me. I encouraged him to miss his station and I would drive him back home, just so we could keep talking. I did drive him back home and asked for a goodnight kiss ... I got a kiss on the cheek. We exchanged numbers and I was going on Year 7 camp for a week. At a time when we didn't have mobiles, I made a call using the camp phone, and we had our first date the following week :) We celebrate 25 years of wedded bliss (mostly lol) this September 💕💕 13 months ago to the day I met my boyfriend at a swingers party in Brisbane. I had gone with a wonderful friend who had found a playmate . I saw this cutie sitting on a bar stool who was being chatted up by another lady. It was game on and I put my flirt on, chatted and general was quite touchy lol. The other lady moved on and I took a seat, we continued chatting :) The topic of conversation revolved around kissing and I did say I'm an incredible kisser. He begged to differ and I strongly encouraged he show me ;) Yep, definitely an incredible kisser. For the first time at any swingers party that I had attended someone put effort into seducing, undressing and just focussing on pleasuring me :) Exchanging numbers was forbidden at the party but his RHP profile was easy to remember and we agreed I was to send him a message with my number and I did just that. The next morning he turned up with coffee (sealed the deal there) and we stayed together for four days at a unit I was staying at in the city :) Upon returning to Melbourne, within days he asked when he could see me again and we have been together since :) CT, I have a friend, who often has said you'll never know when you're going to meet your special someone, some people have many, others take their time :) but you'll need to continue to put yourself out there :) Mary xx

If we're only talking about relationships / dating, I tick 4 of the options: 1. Work (casual school job where I met my first boyfriend) 2. Online dating (have met a couple of the guys I've dated this way) 3. Sheer random coincidence (sitting on the side of a suburban street at about 1am and he drove past in a taxi and got the driver to stop to see if I was ok...yes very random) 4. Other (one was a guy who sold me furniture; another was a guy I'd gone to high school with and hooked up with years later)

My late husband - when we were both still studying in different unis in different states. Met on uni website > e-mail > ICQ 😛 > meeting face to face. We got married the following year. Met my new love 4 years ago here. Wasn't looking for a relationship at the time but he just grew on me and stuck. He loves showing me off to other men and I'm having the time of my life with his encouragement 😁 - Posted from rhpmobile

Soon I will do a tally. Of course, younger people simply due to age, will have a greater likelihood of having met someone via the internet in some form, although I myself have been using rsvp since about 2001. Not that long before that, the internet was simply too slow to even download a single photo in a hurry! Even now, the internet and social media allows you to know what is going on; I might meet someone at a market walking my dog for instance, yet perhaps I only find out that market is on via the internet. B_or_B mentioned Parents without Partners, which is where my parents met. However that was more like 35+ years ago :P It's very interesting the stories. In my own family, have been couplings where the couple initially wanted nothing to do with each other. Strange how some things work out :)

c) London circa 2003. Dragged along to my best mate’s end of year work do. I didn’t want to go cause I was trying to come to terms with cocking up a relationship that I thought was going to go all the way but my booze hound of a mate insisted. We rolled into the party, grabbed our lagers and made a beeline for the ladies. I didn’t notice her at first but after awhile, I glanced around, I saw her, propped up in a corner, looking nonchalant, chatting with her mate. I caught her eye, smiled and winked but she stared vacantly right through me. I learnt later on that she’s as blind as a bat and couldn’t see three foot in front of herself without her glasses, so she never saw it. And she told me that girls like her don’t attract guys like me, so she was already resigned to me not even saying Hi, hence the indifference. Her aloofness attracted me straight away. I eventually made my way over. Introduced myself and started mouthing off. She was good at the banter but I also could see she was preoccupied and fiddly and I was wondering why she wasn’t falling for the Lanegan charm. She was softly spoke and when I leaned in to her to hear her say her name again, I caught a whiff of her perfume, which today still lingers with me. In that awkwardness when you first meet someone, she turned her head, startled as I leaned in and we smacked faces and laughed, both embarrassed and then when I looked into her pretty green eyes and held her stare, while apologizing, I knew. I knew then that she was the future Mrs L It turns out that she was distracted and nervous because she was not a guest at the party but the entertainment. She had to sing for her supper along with her mate and was on her break. She eventually excused herself from our conversation and went and picked up her guitar to play, while everyone ignored her She didn’t play a popular chart topping song that first song, but a song by one of my heroes that she made her own that night “Wayfarer Stranger” a gospel song made famous by Johnny Cash.By the third verse, Id fallen. I was every cliché. Enamored, captivated, charmed and pussy whipped, without even going there yet, it was electric. And she was so damn cool which again I learnt later was because she thought she was being mocked, so she withdrew I talked her into leaving the party with me, after telling my mate don’t wait up. He looked at her and said, “L what about the blonde chick?”. In my eyes, there was never a blonde ever, just her. I talked her into sharing a cab I talked my way into being invited into her flat I talked, kissed my way into her bed I talked my way into being between her thighs and into her heart I talked my way in to staying with her for 4 days straight , we never left her place once I talked her into letting me move in The 3 hours I was away from her while going home to collect my stuff, was the longest 3 hours of my life. My mate helped me move, shaking his head and muttering at me the whole time I talked her into marrying me but it took 3 years for her to say yes The 12 years we were together were the best years of my life But when she needed me most, I fucked it up, so she dumped my sorry arse Sometimes I talk way too much We still talk a lot, me and my significant other. One day I hope I can talk her into letting us, be strewn idly in her bed again

Through some friends who introduced me to swinging. We met at a swingers party and hit it off. We met one on one afterwards and we have spoken every day over the last four years. I met his significant others 2 years into the relationship. :))
