How you meet your OH - my story included - Sorry for TMI

[hawalkden]

Just wondering.. How did you and your OH meet? I don't know if it's been posted before a thread like this.. I'm feeling all loved up and emotional and thinking back to when me and my partner started "dating"..

Me and OH met at his grandees 70th I was invited by my best friend at the time and was the "photographer" I wasn't aloud to let anyone in without a photo being taken! For the scrapbook! Anyway.. He was the only "decent" lad in the room possibly the only one in mine and friends age range! He was 21 at the time and I was 18. OH is my friends cousin..*
I didn't really speak to him through the night but when we was playing the Generation Game and me and my friend were the "score girls" I kept seeing he was giving me cheeky looks and then looking away.. Once the party was over me and my friend headed into town for a few and she texted OH seeing what he was up to and were about he was just so we all could meet up. She knew a lot of friends too..*
We met up still didn't talk much and we ended up at the local nightclub... "CRINGE" it's the worse place everr.*
He was the one who made the first move and asked for a dance now if it was any other night I would have refused I'm usually a shy girl when out with the girls and totally ignore guys full stop. We ended up on the dance floor and that's when he kissed me. I know it sounds cheesy and classic but the whole room was honestly spinning. I couldn't hear the music anymore we ended up me, friend and OH going back to his watching friends!!! Haha*
My friend was crashed on the chair whilst me and OH were wrapped round eachother. About 4am came and I though we really best go so he walked us to friend house which was 2 mins away & then the "silent moment" came at the front door! He asked for my number and gave me a kiss and left.*
I didn't sleep all early morning then texted him thanking him for a fun night.*
Due to college and his work hours we didn't see much of each other for about 5 months then I was out with the girls in November and he texted me out the blue asking if I was out and I just dropped all my girlfriend and met up with him.*
We dated for a few weeks and by the end of November we were an "item".
The things I miss when it was the early days and getting to know each other was the cuddles on the sofa and waking up at 4am going back to my parent and getting ready for college.. Memories of our "first times" eg going to the cinema.. Stopping over and me fully clothed still and staying as still as possible all night in the corner of the single bed he had. First time we had sex !!!! Watching Open Season!!!! Haha *well the credits at the end ! * Then after we had sex him rushing to get cleaned up in the bathroom and me scrambling for my clothes!!! Meeting the families for the first time at their houses! Then the*
Sorry for the life story just makes me smile everyyyyyyyy time I think about the last 3 years now were expecting our first peanut in December !*

I met my OH in high school, I transferred schools, due to some problems I was having my freshman year with random people, it was a small school, and the first time I seen him my first thought was "Me and that boy will be more than just friends". He did have a girlfriend at the time, she ended up cheating on him and getting caught, and at the time we were just friends but we begin to hang out more and flirt alot, I ended up emailing him "asking him out" he agreed and it started from there (not very romantic but it works) he said he didnt know what to say when I asked because he thought I was way out of his league (awww...) so were high school sweet hearts, been together now for almost 9 years, our anniversary is actually 8 days after my due date

I met my DF through my 2nd uncle funnily enough. The first time we ever spoke was on the phone and we abused each other for half an hour; didnt talk for nearly a month and then next thing I know we are talking like lovers on the phone and then he came up to see me, we totally feel head over heels for each other and have been together since.

 

[chobette]

That's a sweet story.

My husband and I met online through a political based game, called cybernations. We were on the same alliance in the game and had been for about a year before actually talking. This was in 2007. I had a computer problem and posted and he replied right away and said he could help me. From there we talked constantly and a month later I asked him if he wanted us to be an "item". He said yes. He was 25, I was 17 He lived 920 miles away from me. I sent him a ticket to come see me on spring break (I was in my last year at high school), and he stayed a week at my place... I remember my mom and step-dad were on constant guard (poor parents ) Well he went back and we continued to talk constantly, a few months later I graduated high school and he flew back out to my place and we drove to his state. That was 4 years ago, we are celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary on the 7th of October. He's the sweetest man I have ever met. xx

[SuperKat]

Aww, these are fun! I met DH when we were both 14...we had P.E. together...he used to follow me around in the pool with the goggles on, LOL. I didn't know he liked me at first...but we did start dating, he was my first boyfriend/first kiss. We were on-again off-again throughout high school (my parents didn't like him because they found out I was dating him when I was 14 and I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16..). We ended losing touch for a couple of years, i was in another serious relationship the last year of high school and two years following...then when we were 20 we ended up getting back in touch because my sister and him happened to work at the same place...anyway...we started talking on the phone, I dumped my boyfriend of 3 years, he dumped his girlfriend of 2 years, and we were engaged within 3 months of dating. We ended up having a 2 year engagement, lived together the whole time...but next year we will celebrate 10 years being married.

 

[Jennifaerie]

If I hadn't been seeing someone on the night I met DH I would have been on a date lol!

We met on a night out in Liverpool, though we both lived a couple of hours away from there. I was meant to be on a date as I had started seeing someone near where my Mum lived. I found out that the guy I was seeing was cheating on me so decided to have a *pulling competition*. I rang a male friend in Liverpool to help me and my female friend find our way around.
We were in a cocktail bar when DH walked in, the guy he was out with went to primary school with the guy I was out with. He asked for my number but I said no as I didn't feel right giving it out when I was technically still with someone. Then I got drunk and snogged my male friend while DH was sat next to me. When the friend went home DH was still hanging around as his mate fancied my female friend, we ended up dancing etc etc.

We ended up chatting and walking round till 6am then went our separate ways but met up the next day for lunch. I still hadn't split up with the other guy so 3 days later DH sent me a message

"dump him for me... joke.....ish"

It was so cute! So I did and from then on we were an item. He told me he loved me 3 weeks later lol.

Unfortunately my male friend had always liked me in that way and told me he was in love with me a week later. I never really liked him like that and we don't speak anymore as he didn't feel we could be friends. Shame as we had known each other for 7 years!

I was 17 and DH was 19 at the time. We've been together 7 years, married for a little over a year. I like these stories lol - though ours is complicated!

Funny thing is I had already met most of DH's friends at a party a couple of months earlier. DH didn't go as he and his ex had been fighting.

 

[keepontrying]

I had come out of a negative relationship after a rocky few years, heartbroken and pessimistic I embarked on 18 months of absolutely smashing the single scene! I became confident in myself and really had no real interest in being with anyone formally - no one seemed good enough to catch my attention. I dated lots and had a load of fun....
One night down my local pub, it was heaving as usual as the band played and my mate and I were sinking double vodkas like our lives depended on it... I turned round and caught sight of him side on, instantly he made my loins tingle !!! I found him incredibly attractive (again something quite rare, men were kind of disposable to me at that time and just failed to 'float my boat') I nudged my friend saying 'cor , that is definitely a bit of me'...He turned around and met my eye giving me a bit of a look. Unbeknown to me he had already noticed me and had the same reaction. We exchanged flirty looks and smiles a few times, but he didnt come over!
His friends went outside to the pub garden and he begged them to go back inside saying
' did you see that bird in the grey dress, blonde hair and glasses - jesus!' I was still looking around and thought he had left.
Then I saw him again, as he walked passed I thought if i dont talk to him im going to miss a chance here... so out came my chat up line.....
'are you married?'
him looking very bemused ' huh me?,er no'
Me ' do you wanna be?'
Queue laughing... he offerred me a drink, we chatted and on paper he was nothing that I would usually go for , he was 6 years younger, a little 'trying to hard' (now i know he was desperate to impress me)
We shared a kiss and it honestly was amazing - we lost ourselves in the moment completely and after kind of pulled awy and looked a bit stunned in a 'bloody hell' kinda way.
We became inseparable within weeks.... then our wonderful love story changed ....
his mum didnt like me, he had always been a mummys boy, she was jealous that I took his attention and the priority place in his world, she was quite vile to me - even saying I was just ' a bird with big tits who was good in the sack' - eventually it caused our first argument, he walked out and went to his mums round midnight one night (about 4 months after meeting'
By 9am the next morning she had booked him onto a flight to spain with the family for a week, knowing he would miss my brothers wedding that was not only really important to me but was a rare chance to meet my dad who lives abroad whilst in spain it was arranged for him to go traveling to australia!!!! I was devastated beyond belief !!

I emailed, text, called but he would not respond , when he got back from spain he came over, we talked and cried, he said he loved me, but was also saying some thing which were clearly from others, his mind had been poisoned and they had used his insecurities against him! He told me he wanted to stay - his phone rang whilst he was there - they knew he was with me and when they hung up they booked his one way ticket there and then, he didnt have the guts to say no... he flew out on my birthday!

I was so heartbroken, I couldn't believe the first man I trusted or had interest in had betrayed me !!

We spent 4 months apart with no contact, I flung myself back into the single scene and dated lots... but no one matched up! Eventually just before christmas 2010 I bit teh bullet and emailed him, asking how his trip was and saying that I didnt want any hard feelings, one email back, then another, my heart would flutter each time i saw one in my inbox.
I asked him if he would like to meet for a drink, we did, it was slightly awkward for 5 minutes...... that evening he cried told me that he went round the world and no one ever came close to me, he told me how sorry he was, how he had thought about me so much we had a great night, then over the next week decided to give it another go..
This time around it was me who didnt trust, i didnt see how we were going to overcome the issue with his family interfering and trying to come between us, he stood rock solid by my side this time and realised that he was being manipulated, we have spent a wonderful , magical 9months back together and we are so so happy and in love. Im not the sort that lets my heart get carried away, i apply sense to lust and that all encompassing feeling that a new interest can bring.... but he is my soul mate and I know we are meant to be...

Next challenge???? announcing our pregnancy!.........lets expect explosions!

Met my OH about 8 years ago through a group we used to be in. Got along really well but I was in a relationship abd he was going through a tough time. Went camping in January with a load of people and they all went to the pub while I stayed in my tent. I got a text from him checking I was ok then he left them all and came back to check on me. We just sat and chatted for a bit then laid down and cuddled. My two friends then came back.
When we got back home he invited me to his house and we got to know eachother a bit better, we met three or four times then we were laid on his bed together and he leant over and kissed me.
Then we started meeting up more and I met his little boy, 8 months down the line and i find out I'm expecting his baby he cabt wait to be a daddy again and I'm moving in permenantly. We both cant wait to be a proper family some people may say it's a bit quick but we are in love, both can't wait to be parents and are as happy as can be x

 

[mamaduke]

Love this thread!

DH and I met in high school in our junior year and started dating our senior year. When it came time for college, I followed him and we both majored in the same program. After a year of college, he proposed. After 7 years together (and 5 years engaged, graduating from college, getting jobs, and buying a house together), we got married. Now, 7 years after getting married, we're finally having our first child!

 

[VintageEnvy]

I met him online...I just knew within hours that this was it for me, he was my guy. We moved in with each other right away and are in the process of moving our things into our new town home right now. We're best friends and I love how he looks naked so I couldn't be happier

 

[baskinps]

I met my OH on the beach!!
It was a Tuesday, the day of my high school graduate breakfast. A couple girlfriends of mine along with one girls boyfriend and another guy decided to bail on the breakfast and head out to the beach. It was a rainy day in May and we were the only people on the beach. Walking along comes OH with a couple buddies. Turns out my friends boytoy knows him from rugby and calls them over. My OH was new to my school at that point as he had transferred from another city for the last semester of high school, so I hadn't met him yet. So we ended up spending the day together on the beach, hitting it off right away. We drove home in separate cars, didn't get our numbers or anything, barely a name as he has a very interesting yet difficult name to remember lol!! So the next weekend, my girlfriends and I decide we feel like going camping, but uh oh, no one has a car that will fit all our gear. So my one lady realizes, HEY, that dude had a nice roomy car, he's in my class, lets get him to come and bring our stuff!! So next thing I know this random dude that I'm totally feeling is parked in front of my house loading up his sexy Grand Prix (in grade 12, not many ppl have cars lol), I'm packed into the back seat with my friend and away we go!! Needless to say that weekend worked out nicely in our favour....we moved a little fast, but in the right direction We fell in love HARD very quickly, but he was still a little boy and had too much partying and drinking to get out of his system for me to handle, so after 2 years of being together and moving in together, I called it quits on him and told him life with him would be too unpredictable. I moved home with my parents, found a "nice guy" to keep me occupied, and he spent the next 2 years getting his life together, developing a career and keeping an eye on me. We would text every now and then, but I wouldn't allow myself to meet up with him as I knew I would never be over him and seeing him would be too difficult. Nearing the end of my relationship with the "nice guy" I was doing research on ecosystems in East Africa, and realized my thoughts were only on my OH, and I was dreading my return to the "nice guy." When I returned home, I found myself really not caring about too much. They don't lie when they say going to Africa changes your life. It truly started a new chapter in mine. So I found myself sneaking off to see him, coming over every Sunday night to watch cartoons (from opposite ends of the couch!) going Christmas shopping and telling my family I was seeing the "nice guy" every time (they did not approve of OH). One day he tracked me down at a western bar where I was drunk off an entire red bottle of wine to my face, and we danced the night away. I ended up going home with him that night and very nearly letting temptation take over, but I slept on the couch and decided things had to either happen or stop. SO I broke up with the "nice guy", and BAM, life with my new baby daddy started over. Only this time, things were different. He was finally the man I knew he could be. His best friend wouldn't stop telling me how much he loved me, how he couldnt go anywhere near another woman the entire time we were apart, and I actually knew he was being sincere. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out, even though it took quite a while to get my family to accept him. We are going on another 2 years now, but it feels like we were never apart.

May I add that the guy that first introduced us on the beach is now (and had been the whole time we were apart!) my OH's best friend and a huge part of my life now!

I had knee surgery in August of 2010. Prior to the operation I was casually seeing a much older man. I knew that wouldn't go anywhere. I was contemplating moving from my hometown, even my home state. Older man and I had a garage sale, that is where I re-injured my already bad knee. I decided I should have my knee surgery before I moved anywhere while I had great insurance and a physical therapy office right around the corner from my house. Shortly after the surgery, the thing between me and "older man" faded.

So, after my operation I had a lot of rehabilitation to go through. My appointments started out with one therapist then I started with another therapist my age for the remainder of my appointments. I really didn't think much about him. It was a professional environment but you do talk to these people and you do get to know each other through small talk. He found out I had a fantasy football team and asked me to bring in my roster to help me. There was one time he massaged some edema out of my ankle and I, for a second, thought about him "unprofessionally" , but that was it. Mostly we just got along and joked. There were some things he said, in hidesight, that should have tipped me off that he was interested but again, it was so veiled considering the environment.

He didn't realize one day that it was my last day of physical therapy. Once he found out, he was nervous the rest of the appointment. I was on this wobbly machine that tests balance and he started asking me all these personal questions (questions he was working up to but now had no time) like "Do you have a boyfriend, kids?" At the end of my appointment he sheepishly give me his business card saying, "if you have any questions, my work number is on here. I put my number on there if you just want to hang out."

I waited a couple days and sent him a text message asking him if he would help me with my fantasy football team. The rest is history.

 

[2RockinBoys]

Awww these are great!! It's so nice to remember how it all began!!

Our story is a bit complicated and naughty to say the least
I started working in a student bar with OH's old housemate's. They all played softball together for the uni team too (even though he didn't go to uni lol) and quite often they'd all come in drinking, which is when i first saw him, but didn't think anything of him at the time. Then a month later, the upstairs was being refurbed and so the company decided to take on aload of new staff and OH applied for weekend work (as he was doing full time office monkey work anyway). So, there was a week of intensive training and we had a few conversation's, which is when i started thinking to myself "yeah he's quite nice ", then we had a staff party a few day's before the grand opening, which is where we got rather drunk and he "spent the night" round mine
Unfortunatly, i found out on the pre-opening night (again very very drunk) that he had a girlfriend, though i was seeing someone -who i broke up with that night-(but at the same time 'seeing someone' is nothing official and in my books you can 'see' more than one person, i would be interested in other people opinions though) and got very emotional and was just a big mess of BLAH with the crying and the drink everywhere lmao, im very surprised he bothered with me again after that night, but i made it very clear that if i'd of known he had a GIRLFRIEND i wouldn't of slept with him and felt incredibly stupid and told him that i really liked him -such a din lol- Anywho, he said that he didn't wanna be with her anyway and was waiting for her to get back from visiting her parent's to split up as he didn't wanna do it over the phone, which i thought was fair enough. So for the next 2week's we hung out casual-ish, watched movies and had a little snuggle here and there, but nothing more/else happened untill after he broke up with her.
(i might also add that she was rather strange to say the least as i met her a few months later at a quiz, and she was really nice to me -even though she knew EVERYTHING- and added me on facebook?!! I would of slapped me if i were her!)
So thing's eventually picked up, and there's no "date" we got together as there was non of this 'hey you wanna be my OH' nonsense, so we just celebrate our union the 2nd weekend of October, and this October will be our 4th!! We moved in together 8months down the line, and i found out i was pregnant with our first son after 13months, so he was an anniversary conception, awwwww and here we are, 6week's ish from having our second son, and we've also been engaged for 2years (this christmas) Never thought it would turn out this way!! My lad's are my life, and i wouldn't change it for the world

I met my OH when I was about 11 years old - first year at secondary school where he poured orange juice over my head in the playground and made me cry!

We didnt really talk to each other much after that though - then when I was 15 I got kidnapped to Spain to finish school there.

When I was 18 I ran away from my parents (literally 3am, black bin liners and a friend in car with all lights off!) and first thing I did was go on Bebo to announce Id escaped (Oh the good ol days).

I saw his display picture in the bottom corner of my screen and literally clicked, gasped (Omg hes Hottt!) and sent him a message saying I'd be back in UK within a month or so, want to meet up?

Came back to UK, and met him in Croydon with the intention of going clubbing but I'd "forgotten" my ID (Really I didnt want to share him with his friends, I wanted him all to myself) so we went back to my nan house and erm "watched scary movie over and over" until 6.30am when he asked me if I'd go out with him "but like, long term"

Sweetest thing ever!
He also proposed to me exactly on our 2nd year anniversary Jan 26th at 6.30am

Turns out (after both of our sets of school friends freaked out that we were finally together) that we fancied each other in school (hence the orange ) but never had the nerves to say anything to each other

Wouldnt say we were "High School Sweethearts" but I think we are close enough

 

[Tonka106]

OH and I met in a funny way! A friend invited me to a party at her boyfriend's house to introduce me to a guy named Dean. I wasn't interested in Dean but he was nice so we talked for the night and I went back to his house because I had nowhere else to sleep! We got back to his place and he was so drunk he passed out in his bed right away so I just layed on his bed not sure what to do! He was snoring really loud when OH came in and asked if I wanted him to shut Dean's snoring up! Haha. Then he said he was going downstairs to watch tv if I wanted to join him, so I did! We were both really drunk and he just came right out and asked me if he could come lay on the couch with me and promised to be a gentleman, so I said okay! But we ended up laying there facing each other with our lips nearly touching for a good twenty minutes before I gave in and kissed him! We made out all night until we finally passed out because we were SO drunk! I figured it was just a one night stand and we'd never talk again but the next day he was sweet to me and asked me to stay another night so we could get to know each other sober! I ended up not leaving for a week, and we have been inseparable ever since!

 

[_dreamer_]

I first met my OH in pizza hut 8 1/2 years ago when I was only 16, he was 18. I was out with the girls, he came in to collect takeaway with his buddies and my friend knew him so went to chat to him. I went over to ask her a question, then left. My OH was apparently like WOAH she is nice, go and get her to come back over. So I did and he invited us to this BBQ he was having at his house the following weekend...I only found out 2 years ago that there never was a party, he put one on just for me!!!

My friend and I went to the party but left after 30 minutes as there was a guy there she couldnt stand (whoops felt really bad when I found out it had all been for me!!!). I met his parents that day lol, and gave him a hug when I left. OH texted me that evening saying he'd really like to meet up for coffee, so the next day we did and have never looked back since hehe x

high school sweethearts... we'll be 9 years when baby comes... married for 2

 

[abi17]

Well mine and my fiances story is kindof strange. The first time I ever met dan was at a Mcfly concert in December I thought he was an absolute idiot as he banged a revolving door into what I thought was his girlfriends face and then burst out in laughter. I later found out it was his ex girlfriend who was really mean about me when I first got with dan so now I don't mind so much. Anyway that night I really weret bothered or thought anything other than he was an idiot and was sleeping with a lad who was also at the Mcfly concert too. That was our first meeting.
Our second meeting was at my cousins 18th birthday, dan was in my cousins band so was setting up his drum kit when I walked in. I have always been able to get men doing what I want so I asked them all too help me and they all did but dan, for some reason this attracted me as I had never been told no before and he was the only lad who didn't talk to me even though I showed him I was interested in him. (not meant to sound cocky btw)
So that night he was meant to be stopping at my cousins house and didn't as he went out into town instead, I thought that meant he didn't like me it he was actually shy. So I went to bed in a mood lol. The following morning I was having a look at Sheffield university where I had already been accepted to for that september when I received a text from dan, saying something like I'm sorry I didn't talk to you much yesterday I just didn't no what to say, I hope to talk to you soon. Dan x, that was it my heart started beating so quickly and I just text back with my email address and said I'l be on msn at 7pm I hope to see you online . I was 17 at the time, dan was 21. From that day we spoke, text or emailed eachother 24hours a day. I was in my final year at 6th form and it was such a blur I was head over heals in love. However about 6 weeks after we got together a girl he had slept with about 5 weeks before we had got together told him she was pregnant, fan told me straight away and said if I don't want to be with him I don't have too he understass but was going to be there for his baby. I respected him so much and I loved hi even more than I thought was possible. However she was never pregnant lied about it, her mother (was actually her) told dan Laura had passed away and his baby was in NICU in Bristol (she even sent us pictures) and if he wanted to see his baby before he died we had to go down that day. We did and basically got put on a goose chase around Bristol as there was never no baby. It was the most horredous situation to ever be put in but me and dan from that day were unbeatable and we knew as long as we had eachother we could survive anything. 4 years later we are engaged to get married and expecting our first baby, dan found it very difficult to accept the pregnancy due to the rollercoaster of emotions we had been put through, as we can't comprehend how anyone could be so evil but now we can not wait too be parents, get married and enjoy our family together
Were still just as madly in love as when we first met and everytime I see him even though we live together my heart skips a beat.
