Share Your Story: How did you meet your partner?

Where I met my partner?

Well we were in the same middle school and high school, I was 2 years below her but we had the same friends just never spoke or got to know each other. I knew her name and heard it get mentioned a lot but I still had never met her properly. A few years passed and I was in year 11, totally forgetting about her until I went in from school one day and there she was, doing my sisters hair (she was now a qualified hair dresser).

How we fell in love

A week later from seeing her in my house, I went out with a few mates just walking about and we ended up sitting in the local park. We must have been there 5 minutes when I heard someone shout my name, it was her. She ran up and gave me a cuddle. She had had a drink but was insistent that we went to see her mother so she could get some money, just me and her. After we seen her mother, I started to have a drink also, we both got pretty drunk but we had a laugh together. Later on I just came out with something ridiculous like 'score with me' afterwards feeling a bit of a fool, but she did anyway. And I felt my heart pounding. She walked me home and even came in and had conversations with my mother. I really liked her. The next day we planned to see each other but with mates so they didn't suspect anything. I knew I was really starting to fall for her even then but I didn't know what she wanted. Later that day, out of the blue, she grabbed my hand and then kissed me in front of everyone. I was so shocked but I loved it at the same time. 3 years later and here we are, still happy and in love.
