OH added me on Facebook because we had loads of mutual friends and he figured we must know each other somehow. I looked at his page, thought he was hot, saw he had a girlfriend and gave up on the idea.
About a year and a half later, some mutual friends were meant to play a one-off reunion gig (their band had split up years before) and I went along and met up with some old mates. The band had to cancel because the singer was ill and I didn't want to pay to go and see the other band that was on, I just wanted to catch up, but my mates persuaded me. Good thing they did, as it turns out.
My now-fiance came over and introduced himself, and offered to buy me a drink. I thought he was lovely but I believed he had a girlfriend so said no, gave him the brush-off somewhat and left without saying goodbye.
Then I went home and looked on Facebook and saw he was single. Asked around and found out they'd broken up a few months before. Kicked myself. Poked him. He sent me a message. We got together a week later.
It turned out we were born in the same hospital, had loads of mutual friends and went out to the same places but had never met. He was living with someone I'd known for about ten years and it turned out one of his closest mates was one of my closest friends' teenage crush.
And I have Facebook to thank for
