Feature for the mirror: how did you meet your man?

My name's Olivia and I'm a freelance journalist for Mirror. I'm looking for women aged 26 to 53 who've done wacky things to get the man of their dreams. At the moment we've got a woman who worked in Subway and gave the man she fancied free sandwiches so he'd go out with her and someone who wrote a book starring the object of her affection in the hero's role - we're looking for two more stories, the funnier and wackier the better.

It'd involve coming to an all-expenses-paid photo shoot in London and having a pampering day - hair and make-up done etc. There's also payment available.

If anyone is interested in being in this light-hearted feature could they please email me by 23rd March at olivia.holcombe@googlemail.com , telling me about what happened, and attaching a recent-ish pic.

Thanks!

How to catch ya man

Hello,

My picture is on my profile. I met my current partner Pete, through my x partner his brother Anthony. I was going out with my Anthony at the time. We was going through i rough patch,we both had different tastes,Anthony wanted me to be with him all the time and i began to feel like i was on show, i hated it.Our relationship went through a stage of been religious,the sex dissapeared.I was not and could not be like that, i had a few affairs as i was not getting any sex of him, one was with his mate, an musician wannabe, we had a few good times like going out for a meal together whilst my boyfriend at the time was either at work or down his other friends visiting. His mate was Nice enough but wasnt for me. Then there was his brother,Pete.We hit it off with each other.I Cleaned his house for him,and started to visit him more often, things sort of started from a kiss to a jump into bed.

We both found that it was a thrill to know that Anthony wouldnt be to far away. One time his brother was on the way to pick me up. He'd been to fix a computer over in solihull,and to give us more time i got his brother to pick some milk up on his way to picking me up, just so that we could have a quick romp on his Pete's sofa. We made it just in time, he knocked on the door just as we was getting dressed. He quickly put his clothes back on as i grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom to get dressed quick.

I sat in silence on the way back home from Pete's,our relationship did not improve, i had problems with my landlord and by the end of the week Anthony had moved out, as he moved out i had Pete in my bed the next night. I stayed over at pete's over the weekend, Anthony was not planning on comeing back to me, so I decided to up root, moved out of my place that the landlord wanted back and moved in with Pete,it was only sapposed to be tempory, but now its permanant. In the meantime its caused a few problems in the family.Petes dad and mom is not talking to him, and my parents dont want to know my new partner either, tho they havent fallen out with me they think ive had too many relationships and mom just cant keep up. She has enough copeing with my x's let alone keeping up with the new boyfriend.

I'm happier then i have ever been, we may not have much in common except for bikes and watching films, but i beleive we have more in common then Pete realises.
