 It's another conversational riot on /OT today, I see.
	It's another conversational riot on /OT today, I see.But that thread's died and somebody's got to try a new one. Can't really think of a good question at the moment so in the meantime;
How did you meet your significant other? Did you chase them, did they run after you like a fat kid chasing an ice cream van? If you're single, what the fuck's wrong with you, you ugly or something?

 I met her through work, she moved into a new house where the wireless coverage was shite
	I met her through work, she moved into a new house where the wireless coverage was shiteI went in to sort it, we started chatting, she was in a relationship that was winding down at the time, we got together after they split. That's about it, really.
She's moving back to Leeds this week, which is a bit disappointing. Not the end of the world, mind, but won't exactly make it easy for us to see each other all the time.

 we met in a pub
	we met in a pubi was dating (banging) a visually pleasing but lacking in suitable long-term attributes (like interesting personality, conversational ability, similar taste in ANYTHING except sex) 19yo bellydancer at the time. Met a cute lass from norn iron through a mutual friend, she basically hit on me ruthlessly for a few hours, to which i was blissfully oblivious, as i usually am when women throw themselves at me (it's so infrequent i guess my brain goes "is she... nah don't be silly!") then grabbed my hand and put it on her arse. I fancied her, so i took her number, but i didn't want my my first intro to her to be me cheating on someone else, and i'd already pretty much decided it was over with this other chick. so i dumped the other girl a day later, then dropped the new lass a text.
that was nearly five years ago.
definitely the right call.

 i did skim over a few key details for brevity's sake though
	i did skim over a few key details for brevity's sake thoughlike that me and the other girl saw each other once a week, that she had LITERALLY no interests beside bellydancing, to a SUPER nerdy level, and penis.... and the fact that what triggered the final dumping was she was seeing someone else on the side.
also that my current girlfriend has big blue eyes. can't fuck with it man. it can't be fucked with.

 Through being a good samaritan
	Through being a good samaritanGave a young lady a lift home in 'Goth car' after her mate had buggered off with my mate.
The next week I was in a village pub having dinner, when the young lady (from the week before) dragged a very attractive woman over to my table, introduced her and then left us to chat. Apparently she had seen me a few times and thought I was quite attractive* but had never managed to get into conversation with me.
Been together for 7 years now.

	When I lived in London I was going out with a girl at Bath uni.She dumped me but I knew her house mate fancied me so I got with her. Then my ex wanted me back so I stupidly dumped the housemate. Then the ex dumped me again so I got back with the housemate. She was all in all a much nicer person, had more in common with me and was much better in bed. I had blown it though as she could never get over the fact that I chose my ex over her. She dumped me a few months later. Bugger.
