First date with a guy I knew through a friend. He’d planned the date, took me to his mate’s house where he proceeded to show me his collection of swords and knives. I thought I was going to die!

a valentine's date a few years ago. she seemed nice but her friend kept blowing up her phone and calling her. she insisted I should meet him and her other friend. turns out he was in love with her, which he made very clear and gave her a promise ring, right there on our date. I still had her round that night (nothing happened) and the next day we went to McDonald's. she ordered milk.

I had been dating my boyfriend for 2 years before he took me to meet his family for the first time, his mum was lovely & the dogs were adorable (sister & father both quirky) things went well, when it came time to leave boyfriends mum  said I should come again as the dogs really liked me!

On a canal boat trip , the first time we spent under the same roof, I fell off the boat and cracked some ribs. She had to call an ambulance and I ended up in Mirfield hospital. She had to rescue my wallet which had fallen into the canal, and describing to the ambulance where we were on a canal was quite tricky. After this disastrous encounter we are still together 14 years later .

My 1st Date with a guy I had been talking to on POF (Plenty Of Fish) Friday 13th June 2014, I was waiting at Wellington Train Station, He was coming from Shrewsbury, There I was all dressed up with hair & make-up done by my eldest daughter. He gets off the train and starts walking towards me, and when he got up to me, he just looked at me with his finger pointing at me and says…… “I Think It’s You” My initial thought was, (what a weirdo)!! But here we are nearly 11 years Later, we were engaged after just 10 weeks of dating, and were married in 2016. (This is my 3rd Marriage). And yes it is 3rd time lucky, (even though we met on Friday 13th)!! He is My Husband, My Soul Mate, & My Best Friend. I Only wish I’d have met him sooner, so that I could love him for longer. 

I met a guy in a pub, we had mutual friends. His friend rang me later that week saying there’s a big group of us going to York come with us. I reluctantly agreed in the car on the way he said don’t worry I’ll be with you all night. First pub all the lads left to go on to next pub in the crawl leaving me with a bunch of ladies I’d just met! 😱 Luckily it all went great and we’ve been married for 29 years. 😂

I was once on a coffee date with someone at one of the local Costa shops and on looking out the window seen his car rolling forward into the middle of the carpark. Poor guy was so nervous about meeting me that he had forgotten to put the handbrake on 🙈 No harm done though and we still laugh about it to this day 😬

My sister once set me up on a blind date, with her and her husband. He was the most unfunny and boring man I’d ever met. I couldn't wait to go home. I was so bored, when then Salvation Army came round the pub for donations, I gave them some money and asked if they had a leaflet I could read! 

I watched a whole movie with this girl, at end of movie as soon as we got out, she said she didnt like my jeans. For no reason.

20 years ago i was a teenager. I was visiting my first boyfriend on the train. I really didn’t want to spend any money getting the train so i figured i’d be naughty and hide when the ticket man went past. I hid and i would’ve totally got away it had i not missed my stop daydreaming.

So there i was, alone, on a train panic stricken. The ticket man happened to walk past again…. He asked to see my ticket. I told him with shy and nervous demeaner i didn’t have a ticket and i didn’t know were i was. I poured my loose change out onto the train table and i said sorry whilst bracing myself for a telling off. He then told me he was sorry he didn’t give me a ticket and that i didn’t need to buy one. I sort of let that roll and gasped a sigh of relief.

Anyways with the lovely ticket mans help i made it back to my destination. To meet my boyfriend, i was very late yet the moment my foot got off that train my boyfriend was still there waiting for me. We greeted each other with a hug and a kiss, i’d missed him so much. I don’t miss him anymore though because everyday i wake up next to him in a warm embrace. He is, to this day and beyond my soulmate.
