i hope it does happen though. Seeing that so many of you have found love over the internet has given me hope but there are so many weirdos out there , I would be nervous to meet anyone. Anyway, you have given me hope! got any good sites for me then??


I totally believe in fate too.
Hey i met my clair on the net and guess what,,, she has three kids and it didnt bother me at all and we have been together for four years now and married for nearly two and she is the best damn girl i have ever met.
You will find someone youll see,,, i did ,

Met her at work, moved in together after 6 months, married after 5 years and after 18 years together I am now waiting for her ( and my daughter ) to join me in Canada in 2 weeks time.

We met playing online games (dominoes, backgammon, literati). We met 4 months later in London. I then spent 2 holidays there in the next four months. He visited me 3X during the next 6 months...we married on his last trip.

OK i will go first. We met on the internet - i sent him a 'Hello' and the rest is romantic history

Ok your go now .....
I met Laura at a Police Station. I had just been posted there on transfer from another force and she was working as a 'Special'.

That was nearly 22 years ago. We will have been married 19 years in September this year. If our PPR arrives in time, we are hoping that our wedding anniversary will be in Canada.

She still is special.

I dated Clair for nearly a year before we moved in together, it was good for all the right reasons to not rush as not to put to fine a point on it we are not exactly old but not young so time was on our side, we could cruise along seeing each other knowing we were committed to the relationship and with me trucking round the UK and seeing her most weekends this helped to intergrate with her kids without putting to much strain on the kids and her life that she had with them.
It is a different ball game from meeting someone losing the plot in lust and skanking days off work to be with each other and move in to find that the person you thought was a real gem is a complete To--er LOL but it happens.
You will get there in the end you will see.

LOAFY...

Default Re: Where did you meet yr OH ?????

i met my girlfriend on a booze cruise in Vancouver just over 3 years ago. I was there on a 1 year visa with Bunac. When i returned she got a 2 year working holiday maker visa and came to the UK with me.

I'm now on the process of getting a Canadian visa so we can both return to Canada.

I can't remember what the first things we said to each other where. I think the majority of the night is a bit of a blur for both of us.

We went to the same school. I was 14, he was 13. I was an extra in the school play and he was doing the face painting. I can't remember what he said to me but he made me laugh and was lovely. We didn't get together right away it wouldn't happen for another 8 years. We have been together for nearly 7 years now.

Default Re: Where did you meet yr OH ?????

I met my OH in the days long before the Internet .......... We met at Lewisham Bowling Alley in 'sarf' London. I went up to OH and chatted to him as we were both working for the Met. Police at the time, but at different locations. Afterwards we went onto a pub where I nearly killed a few locals with my bad aims while playing darts I remember people ducking and running away!

Nevertheless it didn't put him off, we clicked, got engaged 3 months later and celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary yesterday
