I'm Currently Feeling: | I met my OH in the worst bar in Liverpool (the one 4) when I was 16 & it was his 19th Birthday!
I'd not long broken up with my ex and I was going out with a friend of mine as a favor really as she was meeting up with a lad she fancied! Anyway I was miss 'keep every single man away from me!' as my ex had gone behind my back and I hated every bloke on the plantet at this point!
I actually looked alot older than I was so I had no trouble getting in where as my mate who was a year older than me looked about 6! So the bar we should have been meeting her "guy" in she got knocked back so we decided to go to the first nearest bar and try and contact him to tell him were we were! We we're just having a dance about and my friends bloke turns up and that was me kinda on my own but I wasn't bothered! This really creapy lad was then dancing up to me and he was well odd, so I went to the bar and then dragged my mate of her bloke for a dance!
So we were dancing away and I felt someone pinch my bum........well that was it!! (Back in the day I couldn't go anywhere with out someone pinching, slapping or generally getting a feel of my bum!?? I got so fed up with it people would end up wearing what I was drinking or they just got a mouth of abuse or a slap!) I turned around  but then I just stopped and was like  he was soooo lovely! We danced for a bit & then he asked me for a birthday kiss so I gave him a kiss on the cheek! We danced for a while & then chris & mates we're moving on so on his was out chris friend grabbed my number! Never thought it would result in anything but the next day he text me!
We saw each other now and again & met up on nights out! After a few months we went on a few dates and 6 months after we met we decided to "get together!"
So here we are 6 years later, engaged, baby and just bought a house............ All from the pinch of a bum!!
Lovely  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well my mum introduced me to my DH. They were doing them same course together. Still find it really weird. Moved in together within 6 months and got engaged the month after our 1st anniversary. We finally got married in September last year. We have been together for nearly 4 years and i love him and his DD (from previous relationship) to bits. I walked into a ready made family. We are now expecting our 1st child together. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | It was august 2006. I lived in Kent and my OH is from Hampshire,but luckily, his best friend has family who live in the town i lived in at the time. His best friend, him and some other guys came down for one random weekend, and i went out with my cousin that weekend, cos she was feeling really low. Its gunna sound cheesy, and like something from a movie, but i walked into the pub and saw him and his friends at the bar and instantly thought he was gorgeous! 
So i spent the rest of the night walking past him on purpose and standing next to him to order drinks and that! lol! and eventually it worked. Me and my cousin were going to leave,and he came over and said, and i quote "ive been looking at you all night and i think your gorgeous" and he asked for my number. We stayed and we chatted for a while, and he was absolutely amazing!!! 
Then two weeks later the 27th, he drove down,picked me up from work, and we went on a date - to burger king! lol! highly romantic! lol! and he asked me out that night!! And ive been head over heels in love ever since! 
He proposed christmas day 2007, we found out i was pregnant 3 weeks later and we're getting married in 3 years, on the day we got together! and i cant wait!!! 
Yeah he has his faults, and he winds me up, but i do love him just a little bit more everyday!  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | When I was at school I used to keep a personal weblog. Nobody read it to my knowledge... then one day this man, calling himself '4Andel' posted a reply to an entry I'd written, '8 mistakes men make in bed'... At the time I thought he was probably just some dirty old pervert and ignored it!
But over time he kept reading and I, out of curiosity, would occasionally follow the link back to his own blog to find out more about him and what was going on in his life...
When I moved my blog from msn spaces to livejournal, he followed me over and I started to read his blog regularly, too. So although we never spoke we were constantly aware of what was going on in the others lives, and I would sometimes write 'to' him through my blogs, but he doesn't know that
When I was 18, I got my heart broken by an ex who we now reffer to as 'twatface'. In my blog, I wrote in detail about my pain and the depression that I fell into... He was very concerned for me and asked me for my msn... we added eachother and got chatting.
He cheared me up no-end and made me feel special and human again. After a while he got me talking on the phone (which was huge because I had a phobia of talking over the phone...) and we would talk every day via email while I was at college, and every evening on msn, and every night (all night) on the phone.
We met up only a month after we started talking one-to-one, which was incredibly uncharacteristic and daring of me... It was completely out of character in fact and sometimes I still can't believe I did it! I felt this incredible bond with him immediately, it was like I'd known him forever and I trusted him completely... I'd say I was in love with him from the moment we met, but I don't know what you'd think of me for it!
He helped me through a tough time while my baby brother was ill with mengitis in hopsital, and he helped me to get the help I needed to end my depression and self harm...
I'd never been happier than I have been since this stranger from the other side of the country walked into my life and seemed to make everything right!
After that first weekend together, he would travel the 200 miles from kiddermister to essex to see me every friday, and go home again every monday.
We fell deeper and deeper in love, and very sadly suffered a miscarriage just 2 months after we met... But I now know that it wasn't the right time then, and it just wasn't meant to be. We're now happily married and expecting a healthy baby this April - touch wood, everything is perfect now, and I've never been happier - I feel like fate has played a part in our coming together like this... I'm just so glad that he stumbled accross my blog, by chance, all those years ago! |

I never would have imagined I would meet my husband on a vacation. It was the last thing I was looking for, and the best thing I have ever found! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think I mentioned somewhere else that Im a drummer, and my boyfriend is a guitarist. I got in one night from a night out and went on the internet (as you do :S completely wasted) and I saw an advert for a drummer in this group on myspace and I replied to it. I dread to think what it said tbh :s
Anyway someone got back to me about it and we arranged to meet up and all that. I went to a bar in town and he walked in with some of the others from the band. Offered to buy me a drink and we got talking about music that we were going to play and that sort of thing.
I think it was a couple of weeks later we had a practice or something and we went to a club the weekend after and I realised I actually quite liked him. I was drunk though. lol. My mates abandoned me in town and I had no money to get home, so I had to crash in his living room with about 30 other people because he was at uni and living in a shared house. I was lying on the sofa and thinking 'I should text him and tell him I like him...' but I was really worried he'd think i was a freak and kick me out of the band.
So I left it a couple of weeks and I ended up going round to his house to watch a film, just the two of us. I drank a bottle of blossom hill, and I think he drank near half a bottle of Jack and that was it.
We saw each other for a while but it wasnt anything serious coz he had loads of work on at uni and my dad was a bit weird about me having boyfriends so we kept it casual for a couple of months.
We 'officially' got together in the June time, got engaged (whilst drunk! but it was very nice, and he did it again properly when we were both sober!) and moved in together in September and the rest is history.
We moved to Leeds about 6 or 7 months ago, living in our first house on our own and expecting a baby in June
probably not THE most romantic story, but it works  Im very happy.
Theres some other lovely stories in here as well! Its amazing to see how many couples meet online these days.
