how did every1 meet their partner?

minimiss · 28-10-2005 6:37pm #1

Well , just thinking about this becoz apart from clubs and pubs and through friends .. how did anyone in here meet who they are goin out with now?
i don't get out much anymore and was hoping that there is some other way to meeting people!!!

so somebody cheer me up and tell me how they met their partner ...

AARRRGH · 28-10-2005 6:42pm

My traditional method - she was my flatmate! (it's happened more than once...)

Pubs + clubs are still good though.

Plastic Scouser · 28-10-2005 7:02pm

Through a friend of a friend when we were at uni....pretty normal way of meeting I suppose...

My sister and best friend met their partners on the net....

My mum and dad met 'cause they lived next door to each other...she asked him to give her driving lessons and the rest is history...so, if you meet someone you like maybe ask them for a favour like that where you get to spend some time together and see if you click...

crazymonkey · 28-10-2005 7:16pm

current gf meet her in the pub, but before that usually through work, and friends,,

Vangelis · 28-10-2005 7:32pm

Letter correspondence.

He's the one I'm going to marry. *faints with happiness*

Silverfish · 28-10-2005 7:38pm

IRC ftw.

personal issue?

RuggieBear · 28-10-2005 8:12pm

afterhours tbh

embee · 28-10-2005 8:14pm

First time I met him in person, I was living in Cork and he was too. We were both with different people then.

Fastforward 2 years and we're both at a party in Carlow... there was drink consumed, we got friendly.. and here we are 3 years later, still together with a baby on the way.

ven0m · 28-10-2005 8:24pm

Met my partner while out in Buskers (I know - the shame of it all!!)

seamus · 28-10-2005 8:36pm

She came up to me in a club and jammed her tongue down my throat.

That was 5.5 years ago

trishh · 28-10-2005 8:36pm

Good for you, embee !

I met mine at an open air barbeque dance

Dave · 28-10-2005 8:42pm

Current one, in a club, before that, through friends of friends. Nothing out of the ordinary!

You see the problem with drinking?!

Nightwish · 28-10-2005 9:55pm

My boyfriend is a workmate and long term close friend.

Waltons · 28-10-2005 9:57pm

We met on the internet :eek:

Heh, my parents met when my dad was going out with my mum's best friend.....and my mum was going out with her best friends now husband.

Basically just a direct trade.

Kintarō Hattori · 29-10-2005 12:35am

In the local launderette!! I kid you not! She washed my smellies!

arbeitsscheuer · 29-10-2005 12:57am

Current gf, met her in college, through mutual friends.

And before that, mostly girls who I'd met thru mutual friends as well. Pretty standard really.

monkeyfudge · 29-10-2005 1:05am

I fell into a certain enclosure at the zoo...

The rest is history...

zoro · 29-10-2005 1:59am

Both of us got terribly terribly horribly extrememly drunk one night - we hadn't even known each other 20 mins, been together ever since.

Worlds worst hangover

Jimi-Spandex · 29-10-2005 5:27am

A late night, a dark alley, a bottle of chloroform.

*cough*

Rabies · 29-10-2005 8:09am

She is one of my friends sisters. We all went out for a few drinks and got together at the end of the night.

SexeeAussie · 29-10-2005 10:01am

WHAT partner??? My last few 'friends' have been from the net, housemate of bestfriends boyfriend and from the gym.....

Anyone wanna hook up covertly here???

Hagar · 29-10-2005 10:09am

We shared a gaol cell. We still do...

ando · 29-10-2005 10:40am

I met my current gf on blowupdolls.com. We're now living together happily but she's a bit on the shy side, none of my neighbours have seen her as she suffers from an outdoor phobia.

oh $hit, did I say that out loud :eek:

Ro: maaan! · 29-10-2005 10:51am

School.

Squirrel · 29-10-2005 11:11am

My ex as of thursday: running club. Before that: friend of friends.

dudara · 29-10-2005 11:20am

At the UCC Science Ball in 1997. Started going out in 1999 though

Miguel_Sanchez · 29-10-2005 11:35am

Met her at a gig - she arrived with a friend of a friend and we got chatting - turned out she was in the same college as me. There was instant attraction on both sides and a few weeks later we got together

It's been nearly four years at this stage.

Font22 · 29-10-2005 3:12pm

awwwwwwww........ thats so cute. theres still hope for me so

Laguna · 29-10-2005 4:10pm

No partner for me folks. I can make up a story though if you like?

A late summers night, the bartender was sweating like a priest on a playschool visit... Detective Laguna swallowed his 6th whiskey shot, carefully watching the patrons in the sleazy bar he found himself in, a sleazy bar on the wrong side of town at the wong time of nig....

I shouldn't have watched Sin City..

Aisling(",) · 29-10-2005 4:22pm

I met my currenf boyfriend through mutual friends

rabbitinlights · 29-10-2005 4:29pm

Moved into an apartment and she already lived there........ that was 4yrs ago.

Could not be happier.

TerrorFirmer · 29-10-2005 4:34pm

I texted a random person when bored, with meteor free texts.

God bless those chaps at meteor. Been over a year now...

snickerpuss · 29-10-2005 4:40pm

Friend of my best friend.
How normal!

[Jackass] · 29-10-2005 5:06pm

Through Familly.....She's my cousin.

:eek: True Story!!!

minimiss · 29-10-2005 5:30pm

just was asking this question to get ideas about how to meet ppl ... there is no way on earth any of my so called "friends" would introduce me to ppl and i don't get to go to pubs or clubs much .. so i was hoping there was some other way to meet ppl!

Laguna · 29-10-2005 6:05pm

I've wondered the same thing as yourself minimiss, I don't think there's many other ways to meet people unless you're a drinker over here.

minimiss · 29-10-2005 6:10pm

well i do drink ... but i don't get out becoz noone will go ...

Tar.Aldarion · 29-10-2005 6:12pm

Join some clubs or societies.Chat to people.

Nala · 29-10-2005 6:16pm

Don't worry about pubs n clubs Minimiss...
I've had many's a drunken kiss in the past month and not one of them has turned into a relationship!

Though this thread has surprised me, lots of ppl said pubs/clubs.

thats a new one, how the feck did you follow it up without looking like a phycho?

Mr.Nice Guy · 29-10-2005 7:16pm

Brad Pitt dumped her. Muppet.;)

minimiss · 29-10-2005 7:43pm

i 've already tried night classes and all, and if a bloke is chatting u up in work or class they will certainly always say so where do u hang out at the wkend?
its too embarassing to say no where and then try and explain why that is ...
i suppose they wanna know where i go so they can show up there too ... that seems to be the only way fellas ask girls out

Laguna · 29-10-2005 8:19pm

Well from what you're saying minimiss, you've had a few men asking you out, where you go at the weekends.. Surely that's the definition of *meeting people*, they're practically asking you out then aren't they.

tj-music.com · 29-10-2005 9:51pm

Met my girlfriend at work. We were friends for over two years b4 we got together. She was looking for a project for her webmaster exams and I was looking for a webmaster and as we spent more time together it kinda clicked. Thats over 3 years ago btw.

I proposed to her in front of 80 people at a gig of mine and the wedding is scheduled for October 06.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW ROMANTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *MELTS*

minimiss · 30-10-2005 12:23pm

yes i have had men asking me out .. but i suppose i am sort of ashamed that i don't go out much to clubs and pubs at the wkends and i don't hav many friends.. i think when they find out stuff like that they will dump me becoz they will think im a freak

DawnMc · 30-10-2005 6:14pm

It is so unpredictable. I used to think that I should make an effort to go to certain places to meet a future beau but have learnt that they always come along unexpectedly. Met my current one through mutual friends in a club! I was the person who SWORE I would never meet a future beau in a smelly niteclub but lo and behold!!

scojones · 30-10-2005 6:46pm

My ex was living in a house I moved into. We were together for 4 years, it ended not so long ago. Was great while it lasted

how did every1 meet their partner?
