    I met my true love at university, we were both doing the same degree and met at the induction thingy. He asked me out for a drink that night and then ended the drinks thing by asking me out. Nearly 2 years on we're planning our wedding for next August and are looking forward to our lives together.

    When I was 12. We have been together since and it has been going on 21 years now. Our marriage has never been better and I fall more in love with him every day, if that is even possible. He is everything I could ever ask for in a soul mate and then some :)

    Lucky you! x

    After having gone through a painful divorce (after 17 yrs of marriage) in May of 2010, I truly believed that happiness and joy was for other people (as far as relationships were concerned). Boy was I wrong! As a JOKE to quiet my Mom and my co-worker, Anna, I joined EHarmony, September 14, 2011. Doug is the peanut butter for my jelly sandwich. LOL. We laugh at the same things, enjoy the same hobbies, share the same faith. He tells me all the time how special I am just for being me, no other reason. I have been so very blessed! :flowerforyou:

    I couldn't help but picture you with shrek hehe sweet story :)

    January 2nd this year. We're getting married this December!

    My cousin-in-law mentioned him to my mother at Christmas time. Because I'm a "oh, yeah, that's cool" nonchalant type of girl, I brushed it away. She ended up texting me last minute to invite me to hang out with her and her friend's family (he happens to be the brother who came over to California from Australia for the holidays). I was like "ok, sure I have nothing better to do, so why not?"

    Engaged in April when I visited him in Australia.

    And the rest is history.

    :)

    Xmas love!

    On Facebook actually.
    I was a 'friend' on his actual friends Facebook (I was trying to see who my friend was dating at the time) and he added me and didn't stop talking for 2 weeks. We met up and have been together ever since. It will be 3 years in January. We have been through a lot though. He had a hard time in his job, I left the country for 5 months, he quit his job, I went to University and his father died recently from Cancer. But we got through all those times and looking forward to the future with him. :)

    We met in a chat room in 2001. This guy was arguing with me about something stupid as people tend to do in chat rooms and my ~true love~ ganged up on the other guy with me. We bonded over our mutual dislike. We spent a lot of talking on AIM messenger. Unfortunately we lived far away and were too young to meet in person. We would drift apart but then always talk again until 2004 when we got serious about each other and he came to visit me.

    It went great on his visit but a couple of months later we broke up for a month and two months later I packed up and moved to California to be with him. Now it's been almost 7 years of happy times. =)

    You are brave but you did it well done :)

    At work. He wore me down Steve Urkle style. He kept asking, I kept saying... NO! Then one day I realized I loved him.

    We were set up to sleep together since neither of us wanted a relationship and our friends knew we would get along really well. He was here from England trying to get his work visa and had been denied 4 times even though he'd been working since the moment he'd stepped off the plane. He's a chef and was visiting a chef friend of his that had moved here from England.
    My favorite band is Depeche Mode and my favorite person in that band is Martin Gore. My true love was moonlighting at a bar that was owned by Martin's best friend and Martin was doing a charity DJ gig the night we were set up. My true love, Gavin, had gotten me Martin's autograph two days before because he knew how much I loved him. The night I met Gavin he introduced me to Martin. We were friends with benefits for 5 months when he continually asked me to marry him for his green card. We finally admitted we were madly in love with each other, got married 7 months later and just celebrated our 8 year anniversary.
    My true love made my teenage dream come true the night I met him. He continues to make me deliriously happy every day.

    Lucky you...

    I was 18 and I visited the college I was planning to attend for an overnight stay. In the dining halls he showed up and asked if anyone wanted to go white river rafting and I thought in my head, "Whoa, I am going to marry that man". Then I went to the college and one day we started dancing at a party and then we went to my room and then his room and we stayed up all night just talking. Then we became best friends and did all kinds of crazy adventurous, inventive things together. Then I slowly started to realize from the way he was treating me that he really really loved me. No one had ever treated me that way before. I had never been loved like that before. There was a deep respect and caring between us (I'd never experienced that before). And I started to realize that I really loved him and was extremely attracted to him. There were lots of amazing moments leading up to that. Then I told him that I loved him and he said he had loved me for 2 years. Then we started a romantic relationship. One day he proposed to me on the golden gate bridge and then we danced down the bridge together. We've been happily married for over 12 years now. The love just gets deeper and deeper and we keep the adventure alive as well.

    10 years ago when I was on a trip to PA from CA. He asked "if we ever see eachother again will you go on a date with me?" i said "yes." 8 years later the Coast Guard stationed me in New Jersey and I looked him up on FB. We've been married a little over a year :):love: :heart:

    November 5th, 2008 I brought my gorgeous little princess into this world. And she is my life and my everything.
    But she wouldn't be here if it weren't for meeting the love of my life. My husband.
    I was 15 he was 17 and my friend and his friend were friends. They hooked us up. We met on Friday November 8th 2002 and started dating November 9th 2002. And have been together ever since. These two are my world. I live and do everything for them.

    It was different with him instantly. I was always such a shy person and never talked to guys or asked guys out or made any moves....well I was 15 lol but my friend and I snuck out of her dad's house that night and met up with him and some friends. We walked through the woods and I was walking by him talking and I tripped, I grabbed his arm and kept it there and then slid my hand down to his and held it. SUCH a bold move for me. Then he let me sit in the front seat of his car lol big for him. We met up again the next night and the rest is history. Almost 10yrs later and happier than ever.

    Cutest story ever

    I was in 1989 while I was in my late 20s and I didn't even like him! lol We got to know each other during a weekly volleyball night with friends. We were married when I was 31. We're celebrating our 20-year anniversary in September! :heart:

    Yay! Congrats!

    I was in a really rough long distance relationship from someone I met in a game I play. (yes that is super lame I am aware but it gets worse). He was VERY controlling and would use my good nature against me. I always wanted to be there for my friends, but because I have strong friends that don't put up with that, he did not like me hanging out with them. He also hated that I drink. (By drink please note I mean I like to get tipsy from time to time. I have never had or will have a drinking problem as I do not like being totally drunk.) My friends were upset that I was not going out much, my online friends were upset I had to stop talking to them (as I was a guild leader and he hated that my online friends were male... because my married male friends wanted me... -sarcasm-) At this point, I went out with my female friends, had a star wars movie marathon, and they grabbed my phone and cussed him out when he told me I had to leave. I left... like an idiot.

    Shortly after it was my friends birthday, she invited me to come and stay the night and said if I let that prick interfere she'll fly and kick his butt. So, I went. His only rule was "no getting drunk." As I was texting him he was doing his usual "uh huh... uh huh" one word crap. But there was a guy that my friends cousin brought and I thought he was kind of cute. I had a friend that night who said "go out, have fun, and who knows maybe you'll meet someone. Don't blow them off cause some prick on the internet" so I decided to just be cute in front of him. After a smirnoff I just tickled him and we were all chilling out and talking. My friend got a bit more drunk than I did, and was asleep leaving me and this guy awake. We were debating how to sleep as there were only two couches, and my friend was taking up the whole short couch. We ended up sharing it, talking, and then he started tickling me, which led to cuddling, which led to out of nowhere him kissing me. I was shocked as I am not a forward girl, and I have never just kissed someone I wasn't dating. Spent the whole night up talking about some common interests, common past with relationships, our love for poetry, Repo the genetic opera, etc. He had to leave for work, came out in his uniform and I just about had my jaw drop. He was the pepsi guy that stopped in my store that I blushed like crazy over how cute he was! Regardless, we spent a few days texting, he told me that he was in a mix up with two other girls, but he ended up picking me.

    As for the prick several states away. The day after my friends party it was her birthday. He was texting me and already putting me in a down mood because I was supposed to be home and not out and about. I looked at her, and said "I have a gift for you." I'm not the type to break up with people, so I told him I got completely wasted last night and was suffering a major hang over. He dumped me and two days after that I'm with my boyfriend of over 2 years now. We want to get married, and we're hoping we can do it soon. I want next year so I know my granma will be there, but his biggest concern is money.

    You made the right choice! x

    November 2009. That month, that year...has forever changed my life. My husband and I married November 2010. We are so similar that we understand each other more than anyone could understand either of us. We are spitfires, we love hanging out with each other, and discovering new things with each other.

    I feel, and told him, that I use to get extreme anxiety when traveling to new places for fear of being lost and never finding my way back, losing those I love, etc. Now, I tell him that when I am with him, I feel safe and comfortable and can be anywhere and never feel anxiety. Its the truth.

    We will be celebrating our 2nd marriage anniversary this November and I couldn't be happier. We've had fights and threats of breaking up, etc but it always gets better. Communication and compromise and two very important qualities to possess when married.

    Met on the bus - well I saw him on my bus for years, thought he was really nice. Bit geeky, liked to read - kind of like me. I was in a relationship but didn't know anyone else in the town I lived in and knew he lived in my town and wondered whether I could be friends with him if nothing else. One day I tracked him down on Facebook by putting in an authors name of books he often read, the town we live in and where he worked (saw the insignia on his fleece). I was far too shy to break the ice and sit next to him and chat, so sent him a message on FB. He was in a relationship too. After a month of chatting online we spoke in person - we're both pretty shy. We became really good friends, talking on the bus most days. We were both really unhappy in our relationships and tried to help each other out with ideas to make things work with our respective relationships. As time went by I realised the thought of staying with my partner and perhaps one day moving away and never seeing him again made me really upset and I knew I had fallen in love with him. I ended my relationship and some time later he ended his. Nine months after we met we got together. We got married last year and he is my best friend in the whole world.

    April 24th, 2010.

    He added me on facebook because he thought I was "his type" and I thought he was full of it. We didn't talk for a few weeks then I had posted a status about taking a shower with my dog to conserve water and he told me he washed his dogs in the sink. So I pretty much made fun of his tiny flea dogs and we hit it off. He conned me into giving him my number the next day by saying he had to go out but still wanted to talk (and come to find out he didn't go anywhere). So we texted a lot and decided to meet and the first day we hung out from 5pm to 9am in the morning. I knew I liked him but I didn't fall in love until May 31st 2010 when we spent a full day in Hollywood together.

    Been together ever since, and he proposed February 21st, 2012

    We're getting married April 24th 2013! :]

    [PS] One of the little flea dogs I mocked is now one of my best friends.
