How did you meet your partner(s)?

Post Reply New Topic

I primarily dated people that I met through friends. The first person I briefly dated was my BFF’s brother who I had a crush on for ages. I met my first real boyfriend on an outing with friends from church when I was still a believer. (He went to a church in a neighboring town.)

It was fate. I met her as punishment for something bad I did in a past life.

At random, by chance. We started talking (she, of course, initiated), and discovered that we had a lot in common. Almost 5 years ago. I'm still amazed at my good fortune.

he was a friend of a co worker, who was also my friend. we both met the co worker for drinks and to listen to a local band. Co worker introduced us. You never know......

During my last and longest stay in psych hospital. We were both inpatients.

im sure 9 times out of 10, these relationships were initiated by the man.

I initiated the conversation with my partner. I actually interjected myself into a conversation he was having with someone else. I wasn't trying to pick him up and I never intended it would lead to a relationship, but I thought he seemed like a friendly man and I felt comfortable in that situation to join their banter.

He gave me his number so maybe that means he initiated, although nothing would have happened if I didn't use it. I waited a few days and texted him.

I don't how that would all be viewed, in terms of who initiated. Without him giving me his number we'd be nowhere, but he wouldn't have given it if I didn't start talking to him first.

im sure 9 times out of 10, these relationships happend or were formed the way they normally do

1. LGBTQ+ youth group we became friends, then after about a year it developed into mutual romantic liking for one another. Sorta kinda dated for 2 months then decided to remain friends.
Bro’s my best friend and favorite person to this day

Feel free to send me a PM!

A/. I'm glad I'm so extro
B/. OMG I am (comparatively) such a slut
It has been such a long time since I reconstructed my list of previous lovers that it is now mostly just a number
1-3 were at mixers in halls of residence at uni.
4 was bestie to daughter of a coworker of my father
5 was the daughter of my high school botany teacher
6-9 were either uni pickups or uni peer group
Then it starts getting fuzzy
Several intermixed gig/uni pickups
A few pub pickups
While travelling....a few from hostels and backpackers
My cousins bestie at her house
Only 1 from a chatroom
Several from a hippy/punk commune including a night with my then GF and an ex together, and when they exhausted me I sought sleep with another flatmate who proceeded to tease me until I could go again.
Sisters from the same place(years apart)
Only 1 from the lesbian community (Bi obviously)
The rest were all gig/pub pickups including my current partner.
She was in a group of 3 girls about to leave a pub I'd just entered.
I aimed at the first, but fighting through the crowd I only reached the last.
I offered to buy her a drink and she said "southern and soda"
I was surprised by the soda and said "what?" And she said " a beer then"
We spent 10 minutes chatting under the pool table while we hid from the guy she arrived with.
We then joined her 2 friends who were at a restaurant a few doors down, made our apologies and we were in bed 1/2 hour after meeting.
Since then, a few couples we met at swingers balls
I just realised I haven't included those 2 guys in my count, nor 3 non piv episodes.
So... including them I'm only missing *mumbles*

Ok... Now imagine that sex drive hitting a 10 year gap

1. We lived in the same apartment building. We were part of a trio that hung out and played games. She kept dropping hints. Finally I asked her out at the ripe old age of 42. Some of us are late bloomers.

2. The same apartment building. She dropped hints too.

3. Online site. She messaged first. (Notice a pattern here? )

4. Online site. I didn't pay for my membership (long story) so she had to message first. We got engaged. We broke up a year after that.

5. Online site. I messaged first this time. We're currently together and I believe she's the one I'm going to marry.
