I met mine in the Birds Nest in Brighton. This was near Saint Peters Church and I think it may now be called the North Laines Tavern .Please correct me. It was a very popular disco in the 70s. Each table had a telephone and you could dial other table and also order your drinks. Mind you the phones only worked half the time. Happy days.

My best mates birthday party. I drank a bottle of JD, threw up in the garden and fell asleep in the bath. Strangely enough that didn't put her off.

At University in Liverpool (same halls of residence).
Met for the very first time? When I stepped into my then dining room and saw her being interviewed by my now ex for the babysitting vacancy. Cliches do sometimes happen.

Ooh. Did they make a film about your life? I'm pretty sure I've seen it.

In maybe 4 years on and off the site, I guess overall I dated maybe 15-20 women. Ranging from utterly disastrous first dates which lasted less than half an hour; to a few which lasted 3-4 dates; to a couple of year-long relationships.
Met partner after a few months away from the site and went back on with a real no-compromise attitude whereas previously I had been a lot more flexible over things which were really, in my heart-of-hearts, show-stoppers for me.
The actual story isn't quite as dramatic as my previous post implies, though everything I wrote is true. What I missed out was that there was a 5-year gap between that first meeting and us getting together, by which time I was already divorced.
Yep, they did; they've made several short films with little plot that involve a young woman "meeting" an older man. I'm sure you've seen lots.

I have a vague recollection of this kind of plot-line, yes.

Did you give her any development objectives? I hope they were S.M.A.R.T.
