How did you meet your partner?

I keep wanting to post here but then decide against it because it seems to long and complicated
 
I actually met my partner through these forums, now we're engaged!

Just over 2 weeks until he flies over from Canada to the UK so we can spend over a month together again.

Despite not being as active as I used to be (I thank getting a job for that mainly) I am so thankful to these forums for blessing me with the best thing that's ever happened in my life.
 
Some of these posts are great hahaha I loved the stories!

I met the partner I have now on my first day of university. It was very clich? whilst also being anti-clich?...
I went all starry eyed thinking this is where I'd meet the love of my life (idealism... or not?)
I was moving stuff to my dorm room and dropped my books, he was walking past and kind of laughed and said 'do you need any help?' - I used to be quite serious and I told him I was fine, but then I walked about 5 steps more and dropped more books. Fortunately I have a good sense of self humiliation type of humour so I just rolled my eyes and 'ok now you can help!'
As I say, very cliche... he invited me for tea with his friends and I'm tea obsessed and he was beautiful so I pretty much fell in love on the spot. He has these wild energetic eyes... when I finally plucked up the courage to ask him out, I went to meet up with him and as I was about to ask him out, he introduced me to his partner. I had an outer body experience... we had spent an intense week together and he never told me he had a partner. We remained best friends for 4 years, and about 6 months ago he broke up with his partner because they did make him very happy and I did. We've been seeing each other ever since :3

Needless to say I'm extremely happy about this but it's been a hell of a journey to get here! Telling him I was still in love with him like once a year just because I didn't know how else to get over him than to be honest and hope we'd both get past it. I never even thought it was a possibility because after a certain amount of time, no matter how you feel, you give up because he had rejected me every time - he had given zero indication of any romantic interest... guess he hid it extremely well for a very long time.

This is so cute by the way! Where in the UK are you based? :D I'm Southampton! Used to be in Manchester until about a week ago when I moved! I'm the same though - not as active since starting work hahaha I miss when I used to be able to walk down the street and get 5 houses in my HHA in a single day... everyone was playing. Now I'm lucky if I ever get 1 :'(
