We met thanks to sport


Marjorie
Many years ago I used to play tennis with a man called Roger. He usually beat me but I remember
how kind he was. We lost touch when I got married and I thought I’d never see him again. That was
30 years ago. When I retired last year, I needed a new activity, especially as I had also recently got
divorced, so I took up golf. One day I was going around the course alone, when I saw a man, also
playing on his own. When he turned round, I realized it was my old friend! We couldn’t believe it!
After that we started playing regularly. Yesterday, Roger proposed in the middle of the golf course
– he’d put a ring inside a golf ball! I couldn’t believe it when I saw the ring, but I said ‘yes’!

Paul
I was looking for a flatmate a few months ago because I had just split up with my partner and she
had moved out. To forget her, I started working out at the gym after work. I slowly got to know
Steve who was often there at the same time, although we didn’t become friends until we were both
warming up one day, and he said he was looking for somewhere to live as his girlfriend had just
dumped him. I told him that I had a room in my flat and that I was looking for a flatmate. He
moved in two days later. We’ve become good mates and we both agree that we’re much easier to
live with than our ex-girlfriends!

Liz
I had recently moved to Oxford from Bristol when I decided to run the London Marathon. I didn’t
want to train alone so I advertised for a running partner at my local gym, and Harriet got in touch.
We met for coffee and got on really well. It was amazing how many things we had in common, for
example she had recently moved to Oxford, too. While we were getting fit we also became close
friends.

Unfortunately I got injured three weeks before the race and couldn’t take part. I was sad about the
race, but am delighted about my new friendship. And we’re already thinking about next year ...
