    My single friends complain a lot about not being able to meet people so I just thought i'd start a poll to see where most people meet and form relationships nowadays!
    I met my husband in work when we started in a new company together.

    Wow, a lady that loves Fords. You're onto a winner there.

    Met the GF in college back in 2003, we where just friends back then (I didn't know she fancied me then.......story of my life since that happened quite a few times with different women.)

    Lost touch with each other for a few years when I moved off up the country but when I came back in 2009 she spotted me on Facebook after I friended someone she knew. Sent me a message, we met up for drinks and 4 years later we're living together.

    Only good thing I have to say about Facebook :pac:

    Boards :D never seen a picture of him or met him, just got talking to him one day and got together a month after.

    Met online, turns out he lives 2 minutes away from me. We grew up close to each other too, went to the same school.

    He's 9 years older though!

    She was broken down in the hard shoulder on the highway of dreams and I pulled up in the tow truck of love.

    She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

    At work. He worked next to my place, spent several months flirting with me, trying to stare down my top and staring at my ass before admitting he fancied me and asking me out. I'd fancied him the whole time, so it was a lovely shock to find out he liked me. :)
