YOUR Falling in love story !

Ok here we go...(REALLYY LONG!)

I moved back to Montreal in June 2004. I was depressed and mad at my parents for making us move blah blah the usual. I got transferred to a tennis coach here (I play competitive tennis) by my other coach and started to train with him and the other kids in July 2004. At the beginning of August 2004, a boy came with a girl and another coach to train on the courts next to us. I asked a bunch of people who he was and they were like yeah his names Jeremy, and I basically thought he was SOOO hot lol. He wasnt training with us but rather next to us, and both of our trainings happened to end at the same time, and we were the last 2 people left waiting for their rides. I kept glancing sideways at him and thinking wooow he is so hot but nothing happened. He left, glanced at me, and that was it. Turns out he only came that day and I thought about him for a few days but forgot him and left it at that. Fast forward to the first week of September 2004 when I started at my new school. I bumped into someone and realized it was HIM!! I had completely forgotten about him and never thought I would see him again but there he was at my school!!! He was friends with some of my other tennis friends, but trained at a different tennis club. I just kept looking at him and asking my friends questions about him, without hinting that I was interested. I found out that he was a year higher than me. Fast forward to the last week of September 2004; my travel tennis team takes a week off from school at the end of September every year to go train in the mountains...so I pack up my stuff and leave with a few of my friends and when I arrive there HE WAS THERE! My coach then goes on to announce that he had changed teams and would be training with us now! Needless to say I was in heaven:heart: But I had heard rumors about him being a player and I was scared, so the first thing I said to him when he asked me hey whats up was, shut up you loser! LOLLL he backed off a little after that. So I heard he was interested in another girl on our team and let it drop I was like hmm whatever hes hot but forget this. And then he adds me on AIM, and I dont know how he got my screen name lol, but whatever. We start chatting and we really got along well together but I thought we would stay friends. He asks me for my phone # and I was like uhh why and he said oh if I need a ride to practice sometime Ill call you, so I thought ok whatever. So now its about mid-October 2004, a friday night, and im hanging out with my best friends and he calls me. Im like uhh hello, what do you want? And he was super shy and asks umm do you wanna like go out to dinner, or movies or something? I told him I was with someone but he could meet us up at the restaurant we were at for dessert. We saw each other a couple fridays in a row, and started being officially "together" on November 7th 2004 and have been together ever since:heart:

Turns out the girl, he wasnt THAT interested in her, and that hed spotted me since September but was too nervous to talk to me:smile: I was 14 and he was 16 when we met and I turned 15 in October, a month before we started dating. He is now 18 (19 soon) and I am 17! We love each other so much even though were so young, and right now hes in the shower SINGING haha!
 
hmmm.. here's DH and I's story..

It started like this...

Originally he asked for my cousin's cel # being new to the area, new to school. Cousin introduced him to her older brother because DH is a drummer and the older bro is a guitarist. So there. I dont hear a thing about him at all.

A little more background..

We have our annual cultural festival in DC (where my cousin's band was playing) and apparently he spotted me there but did not approach me, he didnt know i was cousin's with his newfound friends.

Its all in cyberspace! How modern!

He was googling this band's song and ended up on my blog, having the same name (i didnt know i swear) and he apparently didnt know it was me, the same person he saw at the festival, and he starts emailing me, he wanted to be friends and he wanted to let me know how much he loved my entries. I normally dont talk to strangers and blow them off immediately but i was having a good day so i started emailing him back, he tells me about himself telling me he was 21 (a TOTAL lie! i was 19 he was embarrassed to tell me he was 23)
and later on he wrote me an email telling me about the festival and how his 'friend' (my cousin) was playing.. long story short i figured out it was my cousin he was talking about and i told him about it.

He lost me and found me...

He showed up at a family party with my cousin and i was really aloof at first. I wasnt used to having so much attention from a guy. I actually HATED having him around all the time, at my beckon call. I thought he was little too touchy feely for me! He was throwing everything in, the works, gifts, handmade and bought, he was there when i was sick, pick me up from work, dropped me off (its a 30-40 min drive to my house from his).. but i kept trying to push him away until he actually left.....
and well i missed him... LOL!

That pretty much did it for me..i gave us a chance to be friends and after all that he learned about me he was still interested! I let him know i was ready and well.... 3 years after all that... were married! LOL!

oh and yea he admits to his REAL age which is now 27 and im 23 (honest from the very beginning!)
 
i've been reading all your wonderful stories of falling in love and the thing i really noticed in the role of coincidence and fate! everyone seems to have "known" their SO at some point in time before than actually met. maybe this means that it was meant to happen but the two of you just didn't know it yet?

keep the stories coming! they're so wonderful and heartwarming. i feel like i'm reading a romance novel everytime i visit this thread.
 
Well, even though I'm new the forum, I couldn't just pass up a chance to tell my crazy story somewhere.
Him: 26
Me: 28 (year and a half older)

This is long, and I am sure I have missed stuff. (our engagement story is funny)

Back in 04 I started playing a online game with my boyfriend at the time called Final Fantasy XI. He spent so much time on it and I was always watching him, it is just natural I tried it. Well, He didn't really want to share anything so instead of joining the same linkshell (like a chat room) on the game with him I found a random one and got friendly with the people in it. Well, a few months later, after a 2.5 year relationship we broke up. I was upset and all that but I started dating but always came home at night and played a little FFXI.

I started taking notice of this one guy in my LS (linkshell from above) and he would say the weirdest things that I would fall over laughing. One day he decided to give stuff away cause he was going to be leaving for the army in a month and wasn't going to be playing much anymore. So, we started talking after that and he would do the silliest things and I would laugh. (easiest way to my heart is a good joke, lol). I started to really like this guy a lot and we would go on little dates in the game. One day soon before he left we realized we both really liked each other and decided to talk on the phone.

Well, he went off to the army and he would sneak around the area to find ways to call me. We talked about meeting when he had his family weekend a month later but I guess he couldn't wait and he signed a VR (voluntary release) form to get out early. He said cause he was worried about his friend, that he was depressed. It wasn't until weeks later that I asked him if he left because he wanted to meet me that he finally admitted it. Silly boy thought I would be upset he left for me when he never even met me. I thought it was sweet.

So, he finally comes down to see me. Oh yeah, He's from Winnipeg Canada and I'm a Jersey girl. We were very far apart. We fell in love (a second time) when we met and have been together ever since. We got married last June after being engaged for a year.

So, I've met guys all different ways, school, job, bars, online but this was by far the most fun way to meet someone and he isn't like anyone else I have ever met.
Oh, I don't play the game anymore but quite a few people I used to play with have met their SO the same way, even that ex that I was dating when I started playing. He and his wife are expecting.
 
Fred's and my story is a weird one. And a long one!

It was 4 years ago. At that time I was pretty popular in the cartoon online art world. I would get lots of random IM's from people just saying they like my work. So one night I'm just surfing the net and I get this IM from some name I've never seen before. It was Fred.

Fred was in college at a friends house and since it was college, he was quite drunk and decided he'd be funny and log onto his friends AIM and IM every person online at the time! I don't know his friend and never did figure out what I was doing on his friend's list. Anyways I was the only person who responded to his drunken chatting. He was just hilarious and adorable and fun to talk to that night. Plus he was drunk so that made him all the sillier!

After that I got his IM name and we were friends for a little over a year! I was with someone at the time and he sort of was as well. There were no romantic feelings between us, we just understood one another and I felt like I could tell him anything. Likewise he told me everything too, he always said I was a good listener!

Well after about a year we were both having relationship problems and I remember it being so nice to vent about it to him. His problems were actually worse (women can be such monsters!) but in the end both our relationships ended. It was my first relationship and boyfriend so I was messed up for awhile. After that cooled down he decided to visit me for Spring Break! I was nervous because I'd never had a man visit me online before but hey, it was Fred so why not! He decided to only stay a few days since we'd never met. So he arrives and WOW he was a handsome bugger! I was shocked! We had a fun fun weekend and Fred was a complete gentleman and it was a strickly friend visit!

A month after that he asked me to be his GF via the phone. I figured why not! At the time I lived in Missouri and he lived in Northern VA. My last relationship was long distance too so that didnt' bother me. We visited a few months later in a more romantic sense and wow did we ever click. After that for about 9 months it was passionate week long visits back and forth every 1-2 months. It was great. But we were falling in love and knew this wouldn't work unless we did something about it. So we kinda spun the globe and picked Boston because, hey, never been there before! So right before we moved there he proposed! How could I say no to the perfect man?? Anyways for the past 2 yrs we've been in Boston and we're getting married in 3 weeks! I'm the happiest I've ever been. I don't think there's a man alive more perfect for me then Fred. I am so ready to be with him forever!

Thats us in the middle. He took time away to come to my sisters wedding! I LOVE HIM!

I love reading about everyone's love stories :love:


My boyfriend and I met February 2006 at a party that was thrown by mutual friends, I liked him right away and was totally drawn to him but he was a little skeptical (later he told me he didn't know how old I was and wasn't wanting to just jump into something at a party lol) but that night we really hit it off anyway and talked for like 6 hours. After that we saw each other off and on for the next couple of weeks until we finally decided to hang out one on one.. and after that first night we couldn't get enough of each other! We started hanging out or talking on the phone every night for about a month until we finally made it official :yahoo:


Its so crazy because after meeting him/falling in love with him I really feel that things happen for a reason.. because he had originally moved out to Seattle (from New Jersey) with an ex-girlfriend (they broke up like 2 months after they moved out here, she started seeing someone new and he ended up breaking up with her.. oh and she's totally psycho :yucky: ) ... and where they were originally living was about 45 minutes from where I was living at the time, but he happened to get a job up by where I live.. thus meeting the people I had gone to high school with (at his work) THUS eventually coming to the party and meeting ME!! :tender:


We are currently saving for a downpayment for a condo or house.. and we celebrated our 1 year anniversary April 2nd :love:



PS sorry this was so long.. I just can't help but ramble on about him :yes: :P
 
I don't have an SO except for my dog, and I met her through an ad in the paper.

I love reading "how we met" stories though. It gives me hope that maybe one day I'll meet the right guy cuz I've sure met a lot of the WRONG guy!
 
Zophie - that is so cute. was it a picture in the paper and was it love at first sight? Sometimes relationships with our pets are so much better than with a real person cause the animal can hardly ever let you down.

Candy - That was a great story. We play WoW too now. What server you guys on? I think I have a character on about 10 different servers, lol. Maybe more. BTW, you guys are a beautiful couple. Lets see if I can find a pic of my guy and me.
Ok, here is one.

I moved to Florida after graduating college. I was pursuing my dream locale with a great new job there. But I left behind a guy I had been with for 3 years, who was scared to commit (and realized he screwed up and has been begging me to marry him ever since).

I didn't know many people but ran into a guy from my hometown who was living in the same place I was (Naples area) and we used to hang out at these concerts, my friend's band. So I went with him to the casino one night and I sat down at the poker table to play cards. There was this gorgeous, I mean, GORGEOUS guy sitting there with the bluest eyes I've ever seen and light brown hair that was falling in them.

As soon as I sat down he looked up at me and smiled and said "you're beautiful. I'm taking you to dinner."

I was like :shocked: I couldn't believe it. It took him two hours to convince me he was sincere, and since that night we've been inseparable. He always has girls falling all over him when we go out and he completely ignores them for me. I can't say I understand it, but I'm thankful. We're getting married in the spring of next year, and he's still amazing. :love:

See below; us together, and separately :smile:

oh, btw, we play poker together online :smile: and the Sims. And Monopoly. LOL. The Board Game.

Me: 24
Him: 28
Location: Silicon Valley
Started Dating: ...good question
How we met:
We had a weird start. We originally met through a mutual friend. We met a few times after that and talked occasionally, but nothing major. Eventually, he became friends with one of my sisters.

One day, I was driving back home from an interview. I was driving pretty fast and there was a corvette following every move I made. I passed by a STI thinking "wow that's nice". Traffic got lighter and I let the corvette go because I didn't want him to think I was trying to race. Then out of no where, I see the STI in my rear view. I was thinking, is this guy was trying to race me or mess with me? WTF is this guy doing? So I tried to get away from him, but he kept following me. I couldn't get rid of him! I completely ignored him every time he tried to look at me. I turned my eyes a few times to see who it was, but I couldn't tell because the windows were tinted and he was on his cell. I wasn't trying to be a snob. But every time I drive my mr2, I always get people who try to race me; it bugs me. It became a habit to ignore any car I don't recognize. Anyways, I got home and pulled into the garage. My sister was about to leave. I was kind of baffled because she was laughing at me. She asked me if a guy in a STI was following me. I was very confused and said yes. Then she told me who it was, it was *SO*.

Not too long after that incident, we were at a friend's picnic. He was pretty nice to me. But we still didn't really talk much. We talked more after the picnic. At that time, I just got out of a really bad relationship and I told my cousin, *SO* is a really nice person, even if nothing happens between us, I deserve to be with someone like him - no more jerks! :P

I ended up getting a job across the street from his. One day he came to my office to give me some peanut butter cookies and a jamba juice.

Everyone that knows me knows that I love food. I love eating out, cooking, etc. *SO* kept bringing me my favorite food. I guess it's true how they say the fastest way to a woman/man's heart is through their stomach. It worked for us. :love:
