I met him

doing a summer job in England. We were

working in this café – he was in the kitchens and I was a waiter. Our boss was a bit of an

shouting at us and was just horrible.

, we used to go out after work and we’d sit and complain about our boss. We’d talk about the things we wished we’d said to him. Nicolas was always very funny about it.

We were dating for a

and so full of life. We tried to

the relationship going after he went back to Belgium, but it’s difficult maintaining a

relationship. We couldn’t afford to visit each other very often and, in the end, we split up. We’ve

friends, which I suppose is important, but I sometimes wish we’d stayed together. Yeah, I wish we hadn’t split up.

I met him while I was backpacking. We were staying in a hostel and we

to share a room. We

talking and found we had a lot in common. We ended up spending a couple of weeks sightseeing until I went back to Australia. We

in touch via email and social media after that and two years ago I moved to Britain. Since

over to Belgium to see him a couple of times.

Brigitta

We met at university. We didn’t have

to do with each other at first

we’re so different. I think I’m quite sociable and outgoing and, as you probably know, he’s a bit quiet and shy. It’s not

we didn’t get on at all. We’d see each other in class and in the library and we’d chat a bit. Over time, though, our chats

longer, and then, just before we left university, I asked him out on a date. He looked a bit surprised, but he said OK and we’ve been seeing each other now for about two years. It’s a

it took so long for us to get together, really!

Franck

I met him

a friend, Jef, who he was sharing a flat with. We all used to hang out together so I’d talk to Nicolas and

to know him very well. At some

I had an argument with Jef. It was about something stupid, but we

stopped talking to each other. We’re both very stubborn and I didn’t want to be the first to apologise, but of course, neither did he! I regret that, really. I wish we’d managed to sort things out between us, but … there you go. Anyway, to cut a

story short, I haven’t seen Jef for years, but I’m still friends with Nicolas.
