I met my husband when he came to view my flat which I was selling. He came the first day it was put on the market, offered the asking price and then I didn't see him again until we moved. I didn't move far way and a few weeks later we bumped into each other in the street. Two years later (28 Sept 2002) we were married!!

I 'met' my partner purely by accident while dealing with the end of my marriage. I was in no mood for a relationship EVER!! I went on an internet chat room for a laugh and after a few weeks, he joined there too. We found we shared the same sense of humour, lots of interests and life expectations. After 6 weeks of chat we spoke on the phone. Then 3 weeks after that we met for the first time. We'd never sent photos of ourselves so it was purely a blind date! He travelled from the east coast of Scotland and I from Yorkshire. After another 5 months of travelling and horrendous phone bills I moved to the West coast of Scotland and 6 weeks later he moved in.
That was a year ago. It has been a hard slog one way and another getting here but we both agree it's the best thing we ever did. He is my ideal partner, the one I always wished for in my life. We were extremely lucky that it worked out for us as we knew others that met people on the same chat room and had an awful time when people revealed their true personalities offline. Although finances are extremely tight at the moment but not for long - I am working on that Fiona!), I'll let you know when wedding bells approach.
I hope everyone experiences real love in their lives. And for those who are looking...don't. It turns up when you least expect it.

It's funny, I'm 26 now and I'd known my partner since we were 16 (we hung around with the same circle of friends). We kept in contact, whilst I was at college and having other boyfriends, and he was working and having other girlfriends. We'd even give each other relationship advice, and we then became best friends. Until one day we we're sitting in his house having a pizza and all of a sudden i looked at him and instinctively knew 'he was the one'. We've been together 6 months now and he's still my best friend and now the best partner in the world. But you know what makes it quite ironic?.....he says he was in love with me since he was 16. Awwww

I met my husband through my brothers ex-wife. We got together 6 years ago but have known each other for about 8 years.
Funnily enough, we didn't like each other much when we first met - he thought I was a snob and I thought he was rude and arrogant (I am much better at making good first impressions these days!). After a couple of years of seeing each other out from time to time, speaking more (and my ex-sister in law put the idea in our heads!) we realised that we had a lot in common and shared the same sense of humour - now we are best friends and very much in love. If someone had told me I would marry him eight years ago, I would have said 'no way!'. Just goes to show that it's best to keep an open mind and never say 'never'!
