did you know he was going to be there before the gig?or was it just "hi im alistair" kind of thing?
just got chatting there as i was on my lonesome.
Didn't realise until he started diverting his route home to chat to me more that he was a liker of the men
Ha!
I thought you had to have a honed Gaydar to pass the test and get your license?
then i shall never, ever pass my test
I worked with a bloke who made it his sole mission
to pass on his Gaydar to me and I think he did pretty well as I think I am pretty good at it. Not something to put on a CV certainly...
Bizarrely, one of my first dates with my current on/off/on again girly type
was at a gig on that same tour.
it was a belter of a gig for all nationwide
just out of interest.what do giant panda sound like?
hip hop with relatively simple, but highly effective, beats
and a Japanese rapper to boot
at the bus stop
Thread please!
what more is there to say
met at the bus stop, got married.
: (
oh
did you want the bus stop thread? Just to clarify, I'm not THAT girl.
I want you to be THAT girl.........
actually, I just want a stupendously long and overly involved thread that culminates in beautiful failure, once you start introducing concepts like romantic success into a story the central pillars on which DiS is built begin to corrode!
you mean DiS is going
to break and it's all my fault for being happy? Shall I call it off?
Well, yes.
It'll be like what happens if you type 'Google' into Google, you'll break the internet.
I just tried this
I'm disappointed with the results.
Well, my MSN has stopped working.....
coincidence or something more sinister?
Mutual friends at a pub. I kept rambling on about how great Pixies were,
she burnt me with a cigarette lighter.
True love.
PREDICT THIS!
I told her she wouldn't dare burn me.
She dared :(
and now you're a hunkahunk
of burning love.
:D
just if people were wondering
i met my gf on myspace.i know i know internet relationships never last but 2 years and 10 months later were still together!
don't see a problem with that.
No more different than people meeting in a club really, is it? Except in a club people just try to bed one another and don't know each other first. I met an ex off the internet and it lasted 18 months, so no shunning from me
easier to manipulate
a persons view of you over the internet
and alcohol doesn't give a skewed personality?
of course
less time to react to situations and conversations though
True, true...however, if you met someone
for one date all you have to do is not see them again if it goes downhill on rollerskates
Do you think?
On another note, did I ever tell you how really, really, really tall I am?
that's true
I'm really a 40 year old man in sandals.
And you are only wearing one in a unusual place?
mmmmmaybe
would you like a lollipop?
first at a bloc party gig
then again 4 months later at zonino 2.5, then again when a few of us went camping when truck was flooded, but she didn't manage to go, then again at joemahone's birthday the next day,
a few times then?!
School.
Yeah, 6th year high school sweet hearts. We have been going out together for 6 years this august, and I can remember the whole Dawson's Creek "Will we survive University?" talk way back when...
and you would've if you hadn't fingered your flatmate in halls, eh?
Get out of town.
You big liar. IT NEVER HAPPENED. HONEST.
thats amazing :D
Thanks!
:)
Knew her on here
and had met her a few times at various DiS/other things and then 'got together' at Zonino 2 :)
ZONINO!
ZONINO!
You can be on my first TV advert when I make it.
Can I have my cock out?
ZONINO!
on this thread!
lived with her first year of uni
she had a boyfriend at the time. Soon sorted that one out.
Ross Noble
I was searching for pictures of comedians online to go on my facespace and when I typed in 'Ross Noble' it linked to this girl's website selling her handmade crafty things. We shared a few e-mails about the dark haired Geordie and then I met her properly after a Herman Dune gig and asked her out for a drink the following week.
that's lovely :D
thats magic!
:)
zonino ticket sales suddenly rocket
In the queue for a club in Hoxton Square
My sister asked him if he knew of a anyone with any pills (ha!) and then we got talking. Ended up carrying said sister out of the nightclub after she had too much to drink. He said something like "I know this is a bad time but can I have your number?" :D
:D
I'm picturing an incredibly romantic scene right now.
:D
Brilliant. What a classy, classy man he is.
That's brilliant!
:D
University
at some party. Then bothered her on MSN.
:'(
we went to the same church whilst we were at uni
(that particular church was like club 18:30 for christian students)
i didn't really hang around with her much until after we graduated, and then after a few months we decided that we quite liked each other and i finally manned up enough to make a move.
About 12 years ago
We went to different schools, but had mutual friends and I met her at one of their birthday parties. Took me a further seven years to ask her out, but I got there in the end.
Are you me??
Because that's identical to my story. I'm not special anymore :(
No
He's definitely me, that was established a long time ago.
I don't know why I posted that
I think I'm still drunk/euphoric from Melt Banana last night.
You're the Cilla Black in my life. Thewarn is "our Richard". Was that his name?
I put this in the wrong place too :(
I lose at life :'(
I suddenly feel depressed
God damn, you ARE me.
Friend of a friend.
When I first met her not much happened, but as I got to know her a bit better.. well, y'know, you start liking someone. I wasn't sure she liked me at first, but she didn't want to rush into something. Went to a couple of gigs together, then I invited her round to watch a film, and made my move. Hooray!
Was it the your penis hidden in box of popcorn move?
that would be painful surely - all that salt etc...
Sweet popcorn
no butter. Trust me, it's a winner.
I don't think we had popcorn actually..
..I can't even remember what we were eating.
She fell on me in a club
she was completely shitfaced and fell over, so I helped her back up with a few other people, and carried on dancing. About half an hour later she came up to me and asked, 'do you still think I'm cool', which I didn't really know how to reply to but we chatted about bands for a bit and then Flaming Lips came on and we danced and kissed.
:)
SNAP!
"We met when we put smileys on an internet forum at the same time"
romantic stuff.
is that a dig or did you actually read my internet thingy?
i dont know anymore
it was meant to be a joke
but i'm a big fat loser today so it was shite :'(
:(
:)
she was a barmaid / waitress,
I was the DJ in a bar/diner. 10 years in October together. Getting married in September !
That's so sweet
Congrats!
ha,cheers
My mate used to work in music PR
So I used to ask him for new music recommendations, he said I should listen to this band - which I did, really liked there stuff so I emailed to ask if they had a EP and also if they had a band shirt in my size. I started chatting online with the guitarist, we finally met up and I was an hour late, we met up again at a Foals gig and then at a Forward! Russia! gig and now it's all happiness and roses.
:)
Went to school with her
All through 6th form we were purely platonic best friends. Everyone in our year said 'ah they'll be shagging soon' but we didn't. Then we went to two separate universitys but stayed in contact quite a lot (this is BEFORE facebook even). Eventually we met up in our third years and decided to stop living in denial about the attraction and... well you get the idea.
We've now been married 6 years and have 2 daughters.
this is lovely
:)
Awwwwwwwwwwww
This fills me with false hope
but its very nice! :)
That's well nice.
I have no story to tell. 32 and single :-(
Her friend
nearly puked on me at a gig
Before a Patrick Wolf gig.
I'd told her to come along and meet us, and that me and bobbygeorge were the new Cannon & Ball. She fell for it. I stared at her boobs for about an hour. Months later she came onto me when I was powerless to resist after I DJ'd at the Barfly, having previously tried to lure me in with Levelling The Land and fridge magnets.
I got stood up by a girl
I invited to a Patrick Wolf gig once. I thought getting 'stood up' only happened in American sit-coms.
Nope ask my housemate
it happens to him all the time
You saw Patrick Wolf live?
Ha!
I was nearly caught in that
honey trap!
Fortunately I hate the levellers.
I mean, fortunately for mrs thewarn
*walks away whistling*
sophie tried to woo
you with the Levellers too? SCANDLE!
Good spelling, chumpbreath.
Anyway.
Didn't you two meet on the internet?
bite me
x
No, no.
I was merely there when the levellers wooing occured. And in fact, if anything it was Sadpunk and Homesick Alien who were wooing Bamos with the fridge magnets.
Those fridge magnets!
I'm sure we broke some kind of laughter record that night!
I wish I could remember them now.
What a night.
I was aiming for thewarn
ah, I remember the boob staring that night.
mamsmerising.
in a pub
my friend went off with his friend, we were kind of stuck on our own at chucking out time and thought why not.
Nearly 11 years later, here we still are
Hi!
At Afterskool. We kissed a bit in there then her friend asked me for my number without her knowing when I was having a wee in an alley after Aferskool had finished. I put my number in her friends phone with my wee hands and she sent me a text during the week. I had a spare ticket to a gig and invited her to it (ok, so I bought a extra ticket so I could say I had a spare ticket) and we've been together for about 8 months now. I was in Sweden last week with her, meeting her parents and family for the first time, and they all love me despite my terrible Swedish.

Gig in Dalston
evening progressed to squat party in stamford hill in a black ambulance, then walked back to mine
less so than the first time we really met (apparently), as neither of us remember
what current gf?
???
In the Hawley Arms
Five years ago before it became wanky and burnt down.
Bus Stop
And yes it sounds as memorable a meeting as you can have at a bus stop lol
At work
She's the daughter of one of my workmates and we got chatting outside when we were outside having a cigarette. We exchanged numbers. It seems the smoking ban has done some good for the world :D
Another smoking story
I met mine boyfriend in a smoking area where both groups of friends were but we were the only two that didnt smoke!
At her birthday party
It was kind of a DiS meet up, and I knew no one, so I mostly stood around on my lonesome lookig for an oppotunity to leave.
Then she snatched the microphone off of me when I was trying to do karaoke.
Then I plied her with whiskey, went to Chicken Cottage and I kissed her at the bus stop.
Then we went on a date but I had no money so I had to sell my Rilo Kiley tickets to take her to the pub.
NYE
I came too next to her on my friends bed and we did some smooching.
I love this thread.
I can't really add to it yet, but it's heartwarming :)
at a People Under The Stairs / Giant Panda gig
