writes:How to people meet their partners if not in work or education?I'm 22 and I have got one more year left in university. I do not want to rest my hopes of finding "the one" on my last year at university, moreover I'm doing a dergee which is considered male dominated and from past work experience most of the women there were over the age of 40 (including in HR).They say most people meet the partners in work or education and my chances are slim in both areas. Moreover I don't want to go into a career where I only joined because the proportion of women was higher than the career I really want to have and will be happy in.So I was wondering where other places I can meet potential partners.

After meeting a few women via the internet (horrid experience) met my wife via a mutual friend who hounded both she and I for about 6 months. Finally we both gave in and agreed to meet. We were seriously dating (exclusively) in 2 weeks, engaged about 1.5 years later (I didn't want this to be a re-bound, so I waited till I was 110% sure). Married about 9 months after that, and just celebrated 8 years of marriage.
Life is wonderful, and I'm grateful.

reader, anonymous, writes (26 July 2010): I met my wife in a coffee shop. She was having lunch with a few girlfriends and mustered up all the courage I possessed and just walked over there and asked her out.
1 year later we got engaged.
3 years after that we got married
2 years after that we've now had our first child.
Was it terrifying approaching her in a crowded restaurant with her friends sitting next to her? Ha so terrifying I forgot my own name!! Luckily she took pity on me and agreed to go on a date even though I must have looked a complete fool.
Some women are so beautiful its worth risking pride and confidence just to see if maybe, maybe, you've got a chance.
Before that I has spent about two years being 'ready' for marriage, children and generally settling down but couldn't for the life of me find anyone I wanted to do that with.
So if I can give you a hint of wisdom - don't be afraid to approach the most beautiful woman you can find in whatever location she happens to be at. Remember that that could be your potential soulmate if you just have the guts to take the plunge ....
