Where did you meet your gf/partner/oh etc

Young_gunner

Hey I saw this done on TLL - could be interesting?!

I met my only significant gf (now ex) on a night out with friends - through mutual friends.....any other girls I've met have mostly been on nights out with drink onboard

Zascar

Tinder. I know some people give it a bad rap, but it's just a modern way to get introduced. I've got a few of my friends on it and several have met their OH's on it too!

skallywag

Internet, back in a day when you were a weirdo / pervert etc for not meeting a woman 'the normal way'.

Slattsy

Pub - The Long Hall.

i'll never forget it. She jumped me lol

I developed an addiction to live music. And I built a social life up around organising pre gig meetups for bands and singers I liked - by picking a place near the venue - and then posting a time and stuff on the web site forums of those bands and singers.

Many of the people I have met and still call friend - including my current relationship - was through doing this.

Smoking ban has probably got more people laid and kick started more relationships than any other single piece of legislation passed in the history of law.

The Wild Bunch

A Comedy Club

We were both working behind the bar. Lust at first sight. We both quit a week later hahaha

Saipanne

A girl invited me to a party. I ended up with her housemate!

Still together.

Crunchienut

The Parnell Mooney - a friend was leaving his job and invited me along to the party

Aidric

In a club on a night when I really didn't want to go out. My housemate at the time stretched my arm to go out and I reluctantly agreed.

Spotted her early in the night across the dance floor and thought she was stunning. Through drunkenness and general messing never went up to talk to her. Roll forward to the end of the night and collecting my coat from the cloakroom and feel a tap on my shoulder. She asks me for my number and the rest is history.

Probably owe my mate a pint come to think of it.

Simonigs1.0

Nothing exciting, through mutual friends at 18. Coming up to 8 years now though, we were both still at school when we met.

I bumped into her one night outside a chippers. I knocked the food out of her hand so I offered to buy her a bag of chips which we ended up sharing. I said to her if you give me your phone number I can take you out for a proper meal sometime. So she did and a week later we were having dinner in Abrakebabra.

Did she ever get that proper meal

Th current Mrs Jawgap I met at a dinner-thing (the first Mrs Jawgap having been disposed of via the divorce courts some months earlier). I was sat opposite her and we spent most of the night arguing. She doesn't post on boards.ie so I can conclusively say she lost the argument and was bowled over by rhetoric! There is no truth in the rumour that I spent a few days ruminating on the argument before engineering a meeting for round #2.........


.......10 years on I've still not managed to get the last word in;)

dgt

Is dating looking for a relationship or is it just going places & doing things with people with no real intent beyond passing the time pleasantly?

At a funeral.

Macavity.

I'd known her forever. I couldn't believe we ended up in the same office. Then one day at work I just knew I felt something more. While for her, well, we were just mates. Then out of the blue she asks me to this charity ball thing. And I texted her, just for a joke really "is this a date?", and she texted back "I don't know, is it?".

PLL

2010, I stayed the night at the lads house (college house) after a night out. Woke up at 2pm th next day to strange voices downstairs (lads all at work), ran down, painfully hungover.. turns out there was a new girl moving into the spare room in the house. They key to her room wouldn't work so her dad borrowed a ladder from a neighbour and me and him moved her stuff into the room via her open bedroom window. She went home wit her dad that day but when she moved up properly we had a night out as a housewarming and we kissed. She says the moment she saw me, she just knew there was something.

Asked the soldier on the main gate of McKee barracks to call me a taxi, and got chatting while waiting. Took the plunge and numbers were swapped. 15 years later, we're married with 2 kids and one on the way.

I believe in not letting an opportunity pass you by, step out of your comfort zone.
