So spill the beans how did you meet your partner, was it love at first sight or did it take a while for you to warm to them?
I'll go first. I'm 40 now and met my wife when I was 23 and she was 19. She was at art college with the girlfriend of an old mate from school so I started seeing her around at the odd night out, truth be told I fancied her massively right away but she was a proper oddball (think winona ryder in bettlejuice) and I considered myself a trendy guy, I had a cool job and plenty of money. I also had a girlfriend she was exactly what any guy my age was supposed to want real glamour model material, unfortunately she was also thick as mince and totally self obsessed. She was alright I suppose, I shouldn't slag her but she wasn't what I wanted.
Speaking to this girl, she was funny and smart and knew everything it seemed. I thought I was a bit of a music buff but she blew me out the water. After that I began to try and manufacture reasons to see her, getting everyone together to go out and such. I was facinated by her, I did split up with my girlfriend and unfortunately got a bit drunk and made a fool of myself confessing my feelings to "winona" she gave me short shrift but after I called her when I was sober she agreed to see me and that was that. I got some flack for it though from my mates but I couldn't have been happier and I still feel the same, she broadened my horizons and opened my mind to so much I am eternally grateful to have her at the centre of my life.
