How did you meet your H2B?

[Jamie]

I met mine at work. I saw him first day I worked there and liked the look of him. After I got to know him a bit I went off him, thought he was a bit of a lad who needed to grow up a bit. Turns out the lad thing was bravado, and when we were out on work drinks i got pissed and poured my heart out to him about things you would only normally discuss with the girls. I was stunned how good a listner he was and how sensitive he was. I did that drunken hugging thing - you know the one - I love you your my mate type drunken hug, and it went from there

you?

First time I saw him he was 11 (just started high school) I was 14 he was about a foot shorter than me and ran past me in the corridor and laughed ha ha you're the one my brother fancies. Don't remember seeing him again until I was about 21, went to a gig in a local club and he was up on stage playing his guitar 6 foot 1 and gorgeous. He had a girlfriend so left it at that then about a month later saw him out, he had finished with his girlfriend the week before and we have been together ever since. 9 and 1/2 years, 2 kids and a house later and we are still as happy as ever, and looking forward to married life. Sorry that was a bit long winded, can't sleep hence the time.

I met mine on a night out. I was a little worse for wear and practically through myself at him!! I gave him my number and when I got up in the morning I wasn't sure if i had been wearing my beer goggles and if he was as gorgeous as I remembered him. He had my number so when he phoned that night at 6pm sharp (which is when he said he would phone) I was concerned that he was a bit too keen. Anyway I met him for a proper date and he was as gorgeous as I remembered, and yes he was keen and not affraid to show it which i found refreshing from all the game players I had dated previously. Never looked back

Well I met my H2B on the internet on an on-line dating agency......crazy or what? It was just over 3yrs ago before I began my Social Work degree course & I was feeling as if I could handle a relationship again after been divorced for 14yrs, I had been on my own for that time with my son. I joined a few sites..only the free one's I might add. My H2B had just done the same after leaving a bad relationship a few months before.

I saw his profile, he sounded great, BUT I did'nt like his photo...he was the same about me apparently. Well I e-mailed him, he responded, we chatted on the phone a couple of times. He came for a coffee...stopped talking for 8hrs...& that was it...never spent a day when we hav'nt been in contact with each other...or been together. I luv him to bits & we're marrying next August.

I met my H2B on the internet too chris! It was on a chat site, I started going on just wondering what people talked about on such sites and after a while I got chatting to him. The thing that i thought was really special about it was that I got to know him before I actually met him, so when we did actually meet we were so comfortable with each other it was great.

I don't know if you have had the same experiences as me chris, but I tend to get a few raised eyebrows when I tell people how we met, possibly because the tabloids have always focused on people meeting on the internet as being charlatans/geeks/perverts.

Internet romance, its the future

[chris]

Yes snazzy, I have the same reaction when I tell people where I met H2B......it's all the adverse publicity that is given to internet dating...just because of some bad experiences that people have.

These bad experiences usually happen with people who are very gullable anyway or are easily lead etc.

I agree internet dating is the way of the future. H2B & I where mature sensible people to start off with anyway. I have never told my Mother the truth about our meeting...she thinks it was at a friends BQ .......she would'nt understand even though she adores H2B.

I think that is a fabulous way to meet someone. My single mates go out of a weekend, and tell me on a monday what happened saturday nite. Some dodgey bloke, some wild hangover, regrets, strange kebabs etc.

I have got to know some lovely female friends using this site so why not meet someone of the opposite sex in a similar way.

go girls

[chris]

Yes I fully agree, definitly the best way to meet a guy.....you can take things as fast or as slow as you like when you are not face to face from the start.

Besides that before I met H2B I made loads of friends all over the world...it was great although they all faded away once I'd met "Mr Right".

Chris you are a serial cyber hussy

I am only joking. I love the internet, i can see why you can meet a wonderful fellow on the internet. I can't believe how I managed for the majority of my life without the internet

Hey, anyone remember the first time you posted on a forum or a chat line. what a thrill, i was beside myself with excitement

[chris]

how dare you ...only joking....must admit it was such good fun getting to know all those men.......some were form USA... nice guys etc...chatted on AOL & MSN messengers for hours.

But the first time I ever got a e-mail from a fella...it was ssooo exciting...felt very young.

When I met Trev..it was great...although before the first meeting I scoured the dating sites I knew he was on finding out as much about him as I could...he like me only joined free sites & I'd seen his name on one or two of them before.

yep I admit I am a Hussy but only for H2B

I met my H2B on a chat line fo all things! I was a little drunk and bored, and I guess he was too. I felt strange telling people how we met at first, but then when I think of the chances of us getting together...it's pretty amazing really.

We met eachother 4 times (over a period of 2 months) and then I took a gamble and packed in my job, left my family, friends and house and moved over 250 miles to be with him.

We now have a beautiful 16month old son together, and we're tying the knot on 2nd April 2005. I guess you could say it's been a bit of a whirlwind, but it's settled down now, and so are we, and I guess you could say I'm just happy being blown along with him!

These all make my story sound boring but Andrew was my "boy next door"!
After splitting with my longterm ex and selling my share of our house i moved back to london with my parents to get sorted. Trouble was Derby felt too much like home so when a mates fella went away for a while i moved in with her for a bit. We were number 5 he was number 11. We'd met at said friends birthday party months before when both in relationships and had a fab night larking about together but neither of us gave the other a second thought, not at least until the magic day i went knocking on his door asking for a loan on alcopops! We were watching the big brother final, had ran out of drink, couldnt get to shop in the break, were glued to tv and knew he had bottles in for when he was "entertaining"!!!
Apparently he adored the bare footed tipsy skipping giggling thing I did back to my house and was smitten! ...that and the fact he remembered i was insane enough to turn up to a 30th birthday party armed with tasty jelly and fairy cakes that were NOT contaminated by mind altering substances!!!! (birthday girl had been moaning she felt old!)

Aww that's sweet

[madison]

on holiday in magaluf. He recognised my accent as he was from around my area, we chatted and hit it off. I was worried it wouldn't be the same when we got back (I came home a week earlier than him, and had a paranoia about him meeting someone else or forgetting me) but as soon as he got home he phoned and said he could not wait to see me. We moved in together within 2 months and that was 4 years ago!

He came to my mums to work as a gardiner, i made him so many cups of tea he had to use the loo 6 times a day and I even took the day off work to enhance our chances of getting together
