We met at college. He was 4 years older than me, I'd just left school, he'd been to uni, but dropped out, so we were on the same course.
It almost ended before it began, he asked me out, and was going to pick me up after an evening class, but we got our wires crossed, and waited in different places. I phoned my brother to pick me up, feeling a bit miffed. OH had gone to my house to see if I was there. I almost went to the pub with my brother, but we decided to go home to see if OH had phoned (pre-mobile phone days).
All ended happily, he asked me to marry him 2 weeks later. We waited 2 years in the end, to please parents, but 31 years later we are still together despite a few bumpy patches.Last edited by BarleySugar; 12-09-2009, 04:50 PM.I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

Outside Tesco's in my home town by the shopping trolleys, and they say romance is dead!When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author UnknownComment

Batman!
What a great thread Ginger!
I met my OH when he knocked at my door after I contacted the local Bat Group. My dear old cat Phoebe had been catching Pipistrelles and massacreing them at night. I rescued one, took it to the bat nurse and they sent along the bat worker to sort out my problem with the cat and the bat roost. 10 days later the batworker and I got married. He then owned the cat that caught the bats (keep them in from dusk till dawn). Sadly I lost them both recently - first my batman to cancer (2 yrs ago next week )and the cat (this year ) - but while we were all together it was the best. We had the best laughs and were very happy. Just before he died he made a bat box for the house which I finally got round to putting up this year - hope I get some Pips the next maternity roosting season! Just wish I could have them both back.Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Awww, Catwoman (Jeaniad) that was such a lovely, yet sad story. Hope you get some batlings.
DH and I met on the second day of uni - at a..wait for it...barn dance (I must find a more exciting, less embarassing story before I tell the sproglet/s) our hall had put on for Fresher's Week. We talked all night. And the next night, and the next night. We got together after 5 days. We actually ended up having a lot of lectures together as our degrees (Biochemistry for him, Pathology for me) overlapped.

In the days before internet forums, there was a column in our county FreeAds newspaper called the 900 column. It was a group of people writing under pen names to other people about all kinds of stuff (just like here really). I was Spider and I was writing to my best friend Wizzy Paddlin (its an obscure Guns 'n Roses reference). I noticed all the girls were writing messages to this chap called Mr Cheesy, and I wanted to know why. In hindsight I suspect it was because he was the only one referring to his gender in his pen name, however, I was intregued.
He used to put out little 'Hey' messages for the column in general, and one of these was '26 year old male seeks orphan for friendship or possible relationship'. Feeling daring, I answered back 'Well I'm not an orphan yet, but I'm sure it could be arranged'. We conversed for a little while, then the movers and shakers decided to set up their own version of the 900 column because the paper wanted to charge us for our ads. Mr Cheesy went with them and we lost touch.
Some months later another girl sent him a message in the 900 column out of the blue, and I thought 'He's back!!'. I took out a post box address in another column and left him a message in the 900 column to contact me. He did, we wrote for two years (still didn't know each others names and hadn't exchanged photos). Then we met up the day after Boxing day 1995, I moved in after I finished uni in Aug '96 and we got married in May 2001. He's my honey.Comment
