I met my now hubby at a friends place.He use to know the people there a long time and i had just met one of their brothers who i just started to go out with.The guy use to do drugs so i gave him the flick as people who do drugs are losers anyway ten years later, never looked back.

The kids & I have now moved in with he & his 3 kids and couldnt be happier ...... Ive never know happiness like this ............. So for those who think theres no one out there for them .... think again ... took me a horrid marrage & a few duds along the way but I know I have found Mr Perfect now .... only took me 39yrs to accomplish too :P

Ohhhhhhh & brady bunch comments ..... have heard them all :P

I have to agree with Kev and XR, I wondered why you hadn't been seen as often as before. Something else taking up your time eh? How great is that.
All the best.

How things change!

It's hard meeting ladies at pubs/clubs because most of them don't give you the time of day (or night!). I've sort of given up on thinking I will meet the girl of my dreams at a nightclub. I think the best way is networking through friends; although I've had a couple of relationships with people from work but try to avoid them. They always seem to come at the wrong time anyway....

I met a few on holiday (very "short" relationships, except one that lasted for a little while but she lived in NSW). It's funny how your confidence can change just because you're in holiday mode!!

Thanks for the hot tip people, there's a few hotties on RSVP hehehe

She'd just split up with her ex fiance a few months before , and a friend of hers was going out with a mate of mine , story goes..

Mate= G/F & I are going to Wollongong tomorrow , wanna go ?
Me= Yeah , suppose ( thinking 3 seats , mmmm odd one out , no matter)

Mates G/F= B/F & I are going to wollongong tomorrow , wanna go ?
She says= Yeah , suppose ( thinking 3 seats , mmm odd one out , no matter)

Mate turns up at my place , says "Ok let's go" mmm , chick in the front , had met her once 18 mths before at a B/day party .......what's going on ? ? ? ? , you 2 better get in the back , too awkward going that far using the floorshift (4 sp) . Had a great day , I drove back to Sydney , mate & G/F in back this time.

Started going out following week , engaged 12 months later , married 6 months after that , 6th May 1978 (not allowed to forget that one

(Mate who introduced us has been married 5 times :yeees: )

We were friends of friends for about 2 years. We would go out in a big group and knew of each other but we didn't know each other. I was from Western Sydney, she was from the North Shore, even though she didn't really know me she thought I was some kind of try hard because I was into cars, she thought I drove around in a ricer with subs who spent Friday nights lapping. About 12 months ago she was going through some difficult times and one night we were out with a big group of friends, we began talking and she completely opened up to me so we went some where else quieter and we talked all night. From then onwards we called each other every night and saw each other more often, just as friends though. Then one night we were arguing over something stupid (long story) and I blurted out that I am beginning to like her more then a friend, she didn't say a thing, so I said 'Fine, I understand if you can't see me in the same way now, I will drop you off at home, delete your number from my phone and we will never see each other again' there was more silence then she shook her head and said 'did you ever stop to think that I have began liking you more then a friend too??' she had been hinting that she wanted more for about a week and I couldn't even see it.

We are best of friends,see each other every possible second and have been together for nearly 6 months now. Also planning a 2-3 month trip to Europe in May next year.

Hey guys, i meet my Fiance at good old safeway working on the mornington pensula. I was 18 and she was 16. Me being the typical male that i am i didn't pick up on any of the signs eg constant flirting, always wanting to work together stacking the chips up aisle 11, ect ect. She finally asked me out, i knocked her back!!!!!!!!! 3 goes later (she always asked me) i decided to go out with her and it was the best descision ever. We got engaged last may, have been going out for 3 years in december and hope to marry in 2009.
Cheers

I have known my wife since we were nine years of age. We are both 44 this year so you do the math. We lived behind each other, and moved with the same circle of friends. Bj

Miss_XR6 · 08-09-2006, 11:57 AM

meet him thru the car scene on a cruise started off as friends and turned in more a few days later

pb02 · 08-09-2006, 11:57 AM

My wife is from Peru and tried several times to contact me on msn. I don´t know how she found me or why she tried to contact me but we became pen pals for about 3 years and became close friends. We had a chance to meet in Australia face to face for the first time and I fell in love with her straight away. We just got married here in Lima Peru on the 2nd of September. I couldn´t be happier, long distance is so difficult but she is well worth it. And her family is amazing.
Ella es mi vida y mi todo.

ON_DUBS · 08-09-2006, 12:55 PM

drunk at a party

Yummy Mummy · 08-09-2006, 02:07 PM

He picked me up at the supermarket. Apparently he recognised me from when I had meetings with a financial planner who had an office at his law firm. Started chatting while we waited in line at the checkout, and have been inseparable ever since.
