Your other half. How did he/she chat you up?

slemons

A very general one here.
How did your other half chat you up? Or did you do the chatting up?
Was it genuine? ie i think you're beautiful.
Was it a cheesy chat up line?
Was it set up by someone else?
Were you mutual friends or complete randomers?
Drunken Dancefloor kiss?

Thanks

I was at my local bar in Paris trying to read my new book while she was chatting to the barman in French waiting for her friends to turn up. Barman got us chatting (in French) but it annoyed me as I *was* trying to read. Didn't know her from Eve.

Rescued by my best-friend who came into the bar and started talking to her. I heard him asking her out and getting turned down. "Another time maybe?" I heard from him only to get turned down again.

She turns back to me and starts talking again when I realise that she's speaking in English now. She tells me that she's here to hear the band as the lead singer was supposed to be Welsh (like her). Then she looked at the title of my book and says "I like the horse's name. Binky really suits him!" and after 5 seconds of silence I agreed with her and put the book down

well it was ...
oh ...wait... I don't have an OH...

Femelade

He was a friend of a friend. he came to our local one night (only lives a few miles over the road - but i never met him) He thought i was being condescending when i asked him was he a farmer, i wasn't, i was genuinely interested. Didn't have much interest in him to start but kept meeting him out, and we would chat away, it was when i saw him kissing a girl when out one night, that i realised i liked him, so i dumped the guy i was seeing (only for a week or two) and made it my business to be around him the following weekend, and it worked. He has said since that he fancied me straight away but never thought i would have interest in him. How wrong he was..

"Get in the van"

I've never have had and hope I never will have an other half.

I meet my last LTR in a club, I insulted him and then made him mind me, because my friends lost me in the process.

I changed my mind about him because he didn't feed me any bullcrap.
"I think your beautiful" is gaurenteed to send me legging it in the other direction.
Well that and I noticed how blue his eyes were.

does this smell like chloroform to you?

Sex Offender

My other half came over to me on the dancefloor and stuck her tongue down my neck. I felt sorry for her so took her home and rode her. 6 months later and I'm still with her. I never use chat up lines though when I'm single, things just seem to happen naturally.

True romance:D

That'll be some conversation when in about 15 years your kids ask "so how did you meet mum?"

Similar to "Sex Offender." A friend introduced us, and bought us both carbombs, and before I knew it, a tongue was down my throat.

It was hot, and we’re still together.:)

She offered sex and then forgot to take the pill- I'm signed sealed and delivered. :eek:

Was Super-glue involved in any way?

CathyMoran

He asked me to join the college society of which he was auditor - didn't say yes to him that year but I did the following year! I always found that being involved in college societies was a great way of meeting men - especially the Science Fiction and Computer Science societies, happy memories

brick tamland

in true Irish style, we were both completely blathered in a bar late on friday night. we' both been out with our various work crowds since early. so drunk we've no idea how we started chatting.

Terry

She gave me a crate of Budweiser.
I was hers after the first can.

Pherekydes

Our other halves ran off with each other and left us holding the babies (all 4 of them), so when we eventually bumped into each other we had enough material to keep us talking for, oh, about 18 years. It helped that there was a strong and fairly immediate attraction, too.

_blank_

I got the eyes accross a table in a pub, then the bar closed early-ish and I asked if anyone wanted to continue the night somewhere else, she was the only one who wanted to. So we headed somewhere else, and had a bit of a kiss.

Fozzie Bear

I was the manager of a ladies soccer team and she was a player. Kept "accidentally" bumping into her (as well as several others) and copping a feel. (Ya i know, sleezy and unprofessional but i was not getting paid and they would not let me into the dressing room/showers area either) Liked what i felt, asked her out and roberts your fathers brother! (bob's your uncle for our slower members;)) Have since quit managing them as i can't get away with feeling them up anymore..... the sacrifices you make for love:D

sickmyduck

we were friends for like 2 yeaars but we rarely ever saw each other then lost contact but we always fancied each other but never made it known
then one day we randomly got talking again on msn and exchanged new numbers and went the cinema ... then we dated for a while then one day when we were playing tiggles under the covers i asked him would he say yes if i asked him out ... but i didnt quite get the answer i hoped for haha he just said "emmm okay" ..... but then i asked him out and he said yeh ... we broke up 2 hrs late but then got back together 30seconds after that and we havent broken up since

I don't like chat up lines, just think it's easier if they just come up and talk like a normal person without the cheese. We just got chatting in a bar, turned out we were both newly single (well me more so) and had a lot in common, he just made me laugh and I thought he was gorgeous and I could just tell he was a genuine person. Talked for hours and had a kiss at the end of the night (friends at this stage had given up and left us!) and 6 months later I'm madly in love and have never been happier.

Anyone have any terrible chat up line stories but are still with that person? Does anyone even use chat up lines anymore?!

Manic Moran

She posted to a message board that she was depressed because her kitty was ill. I linked her to a clip of the Swedish Chef. She is now my wife.

Lady to ride? Long term ride?

I became acquainted with my SOH(Significant Other Half) after an innocent hand holding of the tipsy kind followed by a sleep. :-)

Was the first person she met in college – got her drunk on 50% vodka, ended up holding hands drunkenly on the way to McDonalds (I remember the holding hands but not much else after, but I’m informed nothing happened). I asked her out, she turned me down. I said OK, and went looking elsewhere.

Around two years later she asked me out at a friend's 21st, I said yes (after a day or two).

justsomebloke

she was one of the first few people I met in College and it turned out that we were both the only northsiders in our group of friends in College (UCD). I had fancied her for a while and she knew it.

However it being me and me being completly inept when it comes to knowing the signs or even if I did, knowing what to do after it, also she was playing games with me that really didn't help. So eventually after a couple of months we got really drunk one night and she took advantage of me and 10 and a bit years later and we are still going out.

Keano

We had a mutual friend and we were out in our local and got chatting. Nothing happened that night but a few weeks later I was totally intoxicated and we got it on

I read this imaganing the poster telling the story in one long breath

beautiation

We were friends, she got locked off her tits and threw a bottle of heineken at my head for something I said, and she's been so ashamed since then she's bent over backwards to be nice to me and I think she got with me as some kind of penance. Going very well at the mo, though I worry about how I'm going to be able to extract myself peacefully if things do ever go sour cos she has quite the inner psycho, bless her cotton socks.

Ron DMC

Known her since we were 4. Great friends all through primary school, drifted apart after we went to different secondary schools. Only saw her the odd time after that and nothing ever happened, but recently this year (10 years after primary school), we all met up for a primary school reunion and one thing led to another...

Still early days, but going fairly well.

Shinners23

Went to meet a mutual friend for an xmas drink and he came in. We got talking.. I kept calling him the wrong name all night.. i asked him did he believe in faith, he said yes. He left early that night and asked me would I like a lift home... I refused as I wanted to head to a club. the instant he left the pub... I turned to my friend and told him I wanted that guy and asked my friend for his number which he refused to give. days later he text me asking me out and the rest is history, So far so good!

spoon

I met her at a gig, she ended up being friends with a good friend of mine. We got each others number from that friend and arragned to meet in a bar a couple of nights later.
We ended up meeting in that bar, we were both a bit hammered as it was getting late. I approached her and she said "go away, and come back later" to which i replied "Is it worth my while staying, will i get anything out of this?". We've been together for 3 years now.

gabgab

Last one went like this:

"I have looked at you at least 3 or 4 times and all you do is ignore me and keep laughing and shouting with your friends....... what the hell is wrong with you...."

I broke my heart laughing, involved a few other people who were curious as to why she was so mad, we got chatting and she flew over a couple of months later to stay for a few weeks,

Of course it didnt work out, those ones never do, but a funny one all the same.

Irishcrx

I'd seen her once before at a party in a friends house but we didn't really talk was seeing another girl at the time, she ended up cheating on me and dumping me but she was a bit of a tool anyway so i wasn't heartbroken, them two knew each other and the next time we met she asked me did I want to go drinking, we kissed, we clicked, stayed together for 4 years which were brilliant but then went our sperate ways as life got the best of us..still friends though..

Myself and Efla met through a mutual friend, I fancied him like mad straight away got chatting until all hours then started messing with my lighter, nervously. He put his hand through the flame playfully and I set him on fire... literally... the little hairs on his hands went up in smoke... which led to us holding hands, the rest is history

Mammy... how did you meet Daddy?

At a mutual friend's house (married couple) I was staying over, he came over and the couple went to bed, left us up having a drink, I asked him if he would try some of my wine cause he hadn't drank it before and he said "I will if you let me kiss you" I was chuffed cause I thought he was really cute and very funny, that was about 10 months ago

Yep, ten years on. We're all 21/22 now. Most people I still see around anyway having been through secondary school with them, but it was fun to catch up with people who I hadn't seen in years.
