How did you meet your partner/boyfriend.

Hi ladies.

Thought this might make an interesting thread.:)

How did you meet your partner/boyfriend.

It seems that hardly anyone meets their boyfriend in a pub or nightclub setting. And yet this seems to be the only way of meeting people.

Remember the dance halls of years ago. I'm sure there were way more hookups in those places than the nightclubs of today. Do you agree?

I met mine in a pub through friends. We used to go to a pub in a different town sometimes and I didnt particularly fancy anyone there so used to go there and get very drunk and have a laugh. Never crossed my mind that I would meet anyone one there. I fancied someone in the other place we used to go out and never really relaxed there as was always trying to be cool and sophisicated to impress them. Knowing what I know now I would have being miserable with the other guy so glad that never worked out.

My last gf I met through friends. My friend was going out with her friend, we were all in a group one night and I just started chatting to her. Hit it off from there

I'm somewhat reserved though so I usually end up getting set up more often that not.

I met my husband in a nightclub. One of my friends was his cousin´s neighbour and we met through this connection. I don´t think nightclubs are generally the best place to meet people romantically but that was how we met.

Myself and himself met at the tender ages of 5 and 4 respectively in junior infants, we were friends all the way through school but didn't end up as a couple until our early twenties :-)

Coppers. Seriously. Together almost 2 years now, long distance mostly. I don't see myself with anyone else!

CarMe · 28-10-2012 11:10PM

When I was 15 i was friends with his sister and we had a few kisses/hand holding, I have all my old diaries from back then and always maintained there was just something about him, chemistry etc. We met again at 21 in barcode after our friends babys christening and now we live together and have a daughter

Similar story myself, except it was on facebook and we don't have a child :P we're only together 2 weeks (as of today) and I couldn't be a happier man to have a girl as beautiful and as amazing as my beautiful gorgeous amazing S****** .... best mistake I ever made :P

Met properly doing volunteer work in college. I met her when she was going through a breakup with her last girlfriend and fancied her like mad but she doesn't remember that.

Still, 9 years later and it's all good

I wish ... PP is hot!

I actually know / know of quite a few couples who've met through Boards!

spurious · 29-10-2012 10:16AM

Met through friends who couldn't understand how we were both single. The instant I saw her smile I knew.

orchidsrpretty · 29-10-2012 10:22AM

In a nightclub. He was giving it loads on the dancefloor(alone) and I thoughtvit was the funniest thing I had ever seen so went up and danced with him. We were both so drunk that night, ive no idea how both of us got over the embarrasment to meet up again for our first date. 7 years later, I have never seen him dance again:(

Eve_Dublin · 29-10-2012 11:20AM

At a party. A girl he was dating at the time introduced us and I was also seeing someone at the time, so nothing happened but there was an instant attraction. A year or so later we bumped into each other and after he came home from the pub, he sent my housemate (who he knew better than me) a Facebook message and asked her to arrange a night out where both of us come along "by chance" and we'd have a chance to talk. She told me what he was planning and decided to cut out the bull**** and contact him directly. He's not particularly shy but he was scared of me! It's been a year and 7 months now.

CathyMoran · 29-10-2012 11:32AM

First met my husband on my first day in UCD when I was going for a bus, we both said hello but nothing happened. Saw him again the following year briefly and then the year after he introduced himself when I was on a first date with a friend of his...still friends with that ex as it was only a first date and have two young children with my husband.

On the old yahoo Dublin chat room. We're together 5 and a half years now and getting married next year.

Cerulean Chicken · 29-10-2012 02:08PM

At a friend's brother's wedding. I asked my friend where all the hot single men were, she said "Sorry to tell you but there are none, the only single guy here is X, and you should stay away from him because he's a whore". Five years later she's going to be bridesmaid at our wedding

Ilyana · 29-10-2012 05:29PM

I met my last boyfriend through my friend, who was seeing his friend briefly. His friend wanted to set him up with my other friend originally, but I won

It took us about four months to arrange a first date, which was postponed twice. But we got there in the end

kingtut · 30-10-2012 06:44PM

I met my gf online.

I organise a lot of meetups in Cork and several couples have formed as a result over the last few years, one of the couples had a baby just over a year ago

Hot guy worked in shop.
I got job in same shop.
Hot guy became best friend.
I fancied the ass off best friend.
I got hammered at a work party and told him I loved him (still no memory of it!).
He got hammered at another party and told me he knew one day we'd end up together.
One night hanging out, kisses.
5 years later and going strong.

I know a girl who met her (now) husband in Coppers. I thought it was an urban legend

I met my husband in the army barracks where he works. I went in for a drink one Friday night with my sister and her fella (who is also in the army) and himself was there. After a bit of stalking on his part I agreed to go out with him and we got married 7 months ago after 7 years together

Night of my graduation in Athlone in a club. Can't actually remember which one. We didn't actually talk long, exchanged numbers and didn't meet again until December. Here we are almost 2 years later and getting stronger by the day.

My girlfriend has a VBlog on youtube, I randomly came across one of her videos on Youtube just over a year ago, notice she had boards.ie as one of her video tags, found her on boards, sent her a private message and we are now together almost 10 months.

It's been the best year ever
