How'd you meet your current SO?

I was seeing my wife's friend; long distance relationship which means we used to call each other a few times a day. One day my ex lost her phone and it was goign to take a couple of weeks to get it replaced.

This meant that if I wanted to chat to the ex, I had to call to my now wife's number who would then run across the street to give the phone to my ex. I'm a few years older than my wife so I was staying in a bachelor's flat at the time while she was still studying and staying with her parents.

I used to call the ex whenever I was drunk and this one evening the wife told me the ex and her family were out for the day, so I asked her if she'd like to chat - bearing in mind I was living on my own and it was boring as fsck! To my surprise she obliged.

This went on for a couple of days and I eventually stopped calling the ex even when she got a new phone and continued calling my wife. This was circa 12 years ago.

Years later, while fooling around she told me she never went to check whether the ex was there that day :o

should write a book

such good love stories
 
I met my now wife - when she was visiting London where I used to live at the time. A mutual friend asked me to take her around, show her the sights. - it ended up taking her entire family - lol.

Anyway, we got chatting while taking in the sights of London and next thing a few months later - my ex was history.

Now married what 9-10 years!!

Reading this thread - it appears the best relationships appear to be those where people meet randomly in unexpected places (except for bars ;))

Feel sorry for the okes on tinder nowadays.

I allegedly stood her up at a college dance, which I told my mates I could not attend at least a month in advance.

Then a brief glimpse while watching an ODI on TV when they tried to introduce me again... told them to wait until the over was up - she overheard it and buggered off.

Finally met her at my mate's birthday party about a month later and we clicked! That was about 29 years ago...

A local ODI on tv circa 1986?

My only memory of those ODIs were Gibbs as a 16 year old smashing 40 odd.
 
Online dating.

He seemed very nice (I met some really odd ones) but then I ended up not reading my emails for a few days. He thought I was ignoring him and went on a couple of other dates that didn't go so well (it was destiny - imo). When I finally responded we just clicked.

It took us almost another month to finally meet in person! But it was so worth it ;)

He got cold feet about a month later (sigh, boys), but soon realized he couldn't live without me (runs and hides) and now we have been together for nearly 2 years.

:D
 
Got drunk with a friend one night, went to a local pub, she was the bar lady... me being pished, the one-sided conversation went like this:

"Hello, my naam is Fanie, hoe laaik jy my so ver?"

[pause for dramatic effect] got no answer, so i try again

"Traai my, ek's maklik. Ek's nie cheap nie, maar vir jou's ek op special"

she laughed! and the rest is history.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to faniebraai again.
