He would come in the store I worked in at he mall and strike up small casual conversation he did this for over a year... OMG I thought he looked so good he had dark hair light brown eyes that changed to hazel...He would make me laugh so hard he seemed to be intrested in my day what I had to say..I began looking for him too the store he stopped for a while.. I ran into him shopping with my mom and we talked for a good hr I introduced him to my mother and little brother... It was like a slap in the face this girl came and stood beside him Jonathan introduced her as his girlfriend:arg.. I felt kind of low all that flirting for nothing:dunno: anyways we keep in contact on myspace sort of then he just disapered. One day he came back into the store and we talk for a long time store was very slow I asked about his gf and he said they broke up I was like ALLALUYA :woohoo:woohoo... the following Sunday He asked me out it was so cute because he was so nervous :blush his whole face was red haha.

Met him in high school. Dated for a short time, kept in touch. He enlisted, I went to college.

I never forgot him. I always thought we might end up together, and we did. I don't know exactly when I knew I was in love.

DB and I met about 8 years ago in 6th grade. I was friends with his sister, so I learned alot about him before evening talking to him (other than hi & bye, lol). Anyway, his sister and me stayed friends all throughout middle and highschool and still to this day. In high school, he had his group of friends that sat near my group of friends before school...so it was bound to happen...we ended up chatting for a few minutes before class every day. Well as time went on, our 2 groups kinda became one big group because members of each group went their own ways. Those of us from the original group all got closer and talked constantly. Anyway, I graduated in November 2005...two semesters before he did. So of course, like it always happens, we eventually didn't talk. Then about a year later, he messaged me on facebook. We spoke frequently on there then I told him to text me (because I got sick of hearing my computer say "You've Got Mail" every 3 minutes). So we txted for a while then he called me and we hung out. He told me that he had liked me all through high school...I had no idea...he never gave me the slightest indication that there was even a tiny chance he was interested in me. Well, I was absolutely dumbfounded...and thought he was sweeter than I remembered. So we decided to hook up. We dated for a while and I had committment issues so I told him I needed some space....he granted me my space (without him in it) and went on his way. He still texted every once in a while...to check in and see how I was. Then we had plans to get together and do something in December 2007 before he left, but I was sick and unable to meet up with him. At any rate, I felt horrible for not being able to see him and as time went on, I just felt worse and worse about it. Then in February of this year I got a job at a nursing facility working with (who else??) his sister. She talked about him alot and I continued to feel worse and worse about not seeing him in December. So I decided that I was going to text him and see how things were. Well, I told him how I felt about not seeing him...and he pretty much felt the same way. So we started dating....I'm not sure of the date or anything, so anniversaries are gonna be tricky lol.

i was 19 at the time. going to school and working at this burger joint to pay it off. i also worked at this gas station sometimes and he came in the gas station one time and there was a big line and he was in the front line but decided to go to the back of the line and he just stared at me the whole time and then he didn't even buy anything and left.. then at the burger joint i worked at he came in with his friend to get some food. i remember exactly how he looked and what he wore that day but for some reason i was in jail in his eyes! he he.
well anywho he and his friend came to the front of the line and i was drinking a red bull so i was hella hyphy anyway.. i looked at him and his friend and i said what can i getchya. and i looked at him (my hubby) and i was like hey you know i've had the biggest crush on you for the longest and his eyes got sooo wide and his jaw dropped and i was actin all suave n cool n stuff and he was like oh really? i was like yeah i remember you came to the gas station and stuff like that.. and then i was like ok so can i get ya'll something honey bunches of oats and chocolates (i was actin a fool) and they both started laughing and i took their order and went to the other side and he asked my coworker to get me because he wanted to talk to me for a sec so she came and got me and i took him to one of the booths and he started saying hi my name is keith whats your name i said salwa and he's all can i call you sometime i said no i cant get calls and hes like oook can you call me i said no i can't call you either hes like ohok.. well i'll just give you my number just in case you can call me and please do call me because i want to see you and he wrote his name and number on a napkin ( i still have the napkin) and i had to go back to work and he was on his way out the door and looked at me and asked when can i expect a call i said i dont know whenever (tryna play hella hard to get) and he just checked me out and left ha ha ha!!!!!!!
i was tryna play hard to get.. but anyway i called him that night to pick me up from work cuz i couldnt get him outta my mind and we hung out for like 30 mins and talked about our lives and all that and 2 days after that he bought me a cellphone so he can call me everynight and 5 days after that we moved in together and 3 months after that we got married and 4 months after that we got pregnant!! and now we are happily married and so inlove more inlove then the first day we met!!
i knew i loved him the first day i seen him when he came into the burger joint.. i never believed in love at first sight but when i seen him that one day i just knew this is the man for me HE IS THE ONE and a rush of love just fell upon me that day and i knew what love was after that second of seeing him and since then he has shown me true happiness! he treats me as a queen he respects and loves me sooo much.. sometimes i feel like he loves me more than i love him! i am so blessed to have him in my life and i believe he is blessed to have me in his.
he is a man of God and i am a woman of God and that is a blessing to find someone that loves Jesus and puts Him before anything and anyone! that is the most important thing for us!
we are the bestest of friends and we are amazing and passionate lovers! we are great parents and everything is a blessing.
that was long but i hope you enjoyed it.

I met my DH through a deleted true.com profile. He found it and was curious about my name "GeekyLady" :hehe So he checked it out and starting e-mailing me. We did this for a couple weeks, and we both waited every day for an e-mail. Eventually one day he asked me if I wanted to go play Dungeons and Dragons with him. SO I accepted it and we met at the Franklin Mills Mall. Then we started to hang out daily, he drove once from New Jersey just to see me. I liked him ALOT but my oldest sister was desperate to find Mr. Right. Well I decided to try and ignore my feelings and hook them up. Well one day my oldest sister asked me and DH to go out to see Saw III with her for Halloween. Well my sister confronted me and told me that I should stop hiding how I feel and tell him that I like him. I almost DIED when she said that. Apparently she noticed that he was in love with me too. Well that night me and DH poured our hearts out to eachother and he asked me out on Halloween in the pouring rain.

As for when I knew I was in love... I knew it the first night that he dropped me off at my house after we hung out. I wanted to kiss him so bad, cause when I was reading his letters I had started falling for him, and after I met him and was with him for a few hours, I had fallen HARD for him. But I had told him that I didn't want a relationship. So he respected that, and didn't try and kiss me that night like he wanted too. Though he made up for it the night he asked me out.

I met my SO at a bar. ha. He had been at Ft. Lewis for less then a week and I really did not want to go out that night but my best friend dragged me. He made fun of University of Washington and I was like, "whatever you work at a national park!" Yes, I thought ranger meant PARK RANGER. I knew I loved him when we would talk on the phone and I wanted to say I love you whenever we hung up. Weird, but that's how I knew.

We first met in high school ceramics class...and we were just friends for about a year...(even though I had super strong feelings for him and come to find out he had the same feelings :D) We started dating the following December...and it was amazing...I fell hard and fast! It was just the unexplainable feeling I got when we were together...He made me laugh and I could talk to him about anything!

We met at a bar on Coronado Island in San Diego. I was out there for work, went out with some co-workers and we instantly clicked...been together ever since. We have only seen each other in person a total of 12 days but I am going out next week to see him. :yahoo I knew I was in love with him the first night we met. Being with him that night was something I had never felt before with anyone else. :smitten

DB and I met in the 10th grade...10 years ago. We had a group of mutual friends. He had gone to a different school for the first year and in September showed up at our school in my group of friends. My friends joked about how much he liked me but I was REALLY shy about boys back then so I paid no attention. I hadn't officially *met* him until one day a couple of weeks after school started. I went to get in line on break to get some fries and he stopped me on my way and said "hey, where are you going?" I told him and he said "well here just take mine." Corny I know but he gave me his fries and we went back to our friends. We dated for a month but I was too shy. Our break up KILLED him and he made it really hard to be friends for many years after that.

He moved to Texas before our Jr. year and we kept in touch up until my last ex boyfriend. My last boyfriend cut off all of my contact with all friends (long story) so I lost touch with everyone. But I thought about everyone all the time and wished I could connect with them. My ex moved back home (to Lebanon where he is from) and I snuck off to some friends houses to find my now DB (Justin). They told me he was married (my heart BROKE!) and that he just had a baby girl. I thought it was over for me....

I moved to Lebanon (i'm crazy...I did it twice) and when I moved back I found those friends again...they said Justin divorced his wife because she cheated numerous times while he was deployed. I was so grateful! Then my ex found out I was talking to them, got pissed...and that was the end of my contact until last July. I wasn't *allowed* to have myspace with my ex so as soon as I broke up with him, i signed up for one. It literally saved my life because I have reconnected with ALL of my friends. Justin was one of the first 3 I looked for.

I was so scared to email him but I did and he was ECSTATIC to receive my reply. He was posted in Germany and our schedules didn't mesh well for phone calls so we stuck to e-mail and AIM back and forth EVERYDAY. I invited him to come say with me on his R&R because he was deploying to Iraq last September. He accepted the invite and I told him he could only come stay with me if he promises to spend as much time as possible (I was really selfish about the amount of time I spent with him). :giggle He never left my side his entire R&R.

I knew the moment he touched my shoulder in the airport when I went to pick him up that this is the man I am going to marry. I always knew I would marry one of my closest friends from high school. I told him the first day of his R&R that I would be so lucky to marry a guy like him. He told me "I can't believe I just heard Torie, the girl of my dreams, say that to me. I have loved you since the day I first met you. Today is your lucky day because I AM going to marry you someday." I almost fell over... :) So after not seeing him for almost 6 years... nothing has changed. We are both the same people that we loved way back then....and now I'm going to marry my soulmate next spring. I couldn't be more happy about anything I will do in my entire life. He is absolutely PERFECT for me. :D

we met when we were 16 and enrolled at the same vocational high school in the same program. he sat at the table in front of me, so i got to stare at him half of every school day. (not a bad deal, lol)

i realized i was "falling" for him a couple years later, when i ran into him in college, we were at the same school again, lol. he would randomly show up at my dorm door at all hours of the day & night, we'd have adventures and spend hours talking. but there was one time where i was really sick with the cold from hell... i dragged myself to class and came back to the dorm to find a paper bag with a note from him on it- he'd used his whole weeks' worth of food money to buy me cold medicine and cough drops so i would feel better. i melted.

i meant my DF in high school (12 grade, i think). we were both gothic he heard from other people about me. i was known as the "cat girl" i wore halloween cat ears everyday. he wanted to meet me. he was the known as the guy that wore the long black coat. it could be 100 outside and nick would be wearing this coat....to this day i don't know how he wore it in that type of weather. well i don't remember the first meeting that well but he says that it was in one of the main hallways and during passing period, i was there with all my friends, he comes up to me and just ask me for my name. i told him and he walked away to his class.:dunno

after that meeting i remember seeing him everywhere, and i do everywhere. he had that something, i couldn't put my finger on it but i wanted to get to know him. something told me that he was special (i know that sounds so crazy) but its true.we started to only say hi, mind you i had no idea what his name was. he just knew mine. i serectly called him my stalker boy. :ohsnap

that is when one day at lunch my friend, stu came in the lunch room and behind him was this guy, stalker boy (my DF) he said down and started eating with us. turns out that he had a class with stu and they become friends. before they could say his name i told him that i knew him, he was my stalker boy. he just smiled and agreed. we got along and i got to know him very well. so well that i was one of the only people that nick opened up to. we always flirted and got along, that some that saw us thought we were together. we weren't at that time. i had someone and he did too.

we started to get serious when the three year relationships we were in with other people went south and we were broken up with them about same time of the other. we saw each other more and more and they lead slowly in a relationship then soon love. :wub :wub :wub

I went to the local all girls prep school and he went to the local all boys prep school. Both schools got out early one day for a snow day and my girl friends met up with our guy friends at a local dinner and thats where I met him.
Literally when he smiled I got butterflies in my stomach and when he touched me my heart would pound. I don't know when I first fell in love but I know that I had no idea how much our love would grow over the next 7 years!
I can't even imagine how much I'll love him in another 10 years :)

My dh and I have kind of a sweet story. He had a crush on me in fourth grade (even though I made fun of him for not being able to spell as good as me, lol). And then I had a crush on him in tenth grade. Fast forward to after highschool........ I was outside of our local small town grocery store and he walked in. I recoginzed him right away but did not say anything. As he was walking out I got his attention and started talking to him. We have not seperated since that night (bad me, lol!) with the exeption of now what with dh being at osut. He asked me to marry him for a few months but I said no each time. I am glad he is stubborn, lol! We have been married for seven and a half years now and are going strong! :D

DH and I met when a friend of mine was (sort of) dating a friend of his. We all were hanging out one night and we just kind of clicked. I remember the first thing he said to me was.. "I like your hat, it reminds me of Blossom!" (He totally thought that was a compliment-- I swear there were no giant flowers on my hat!) I remember I didn't know whether to be insulted or to laugh, but I chose the latter and it was the best decision I ever made. (L)

We hung out again about a week later and were pretty much inseperable after that. (L)(L)(L)

Alright here goes....

I met my DF about 5 years ago on a online game site... ( worldwinners.com)....I was very popular in there..... and so was he... but somehow we had never met. Well finally we ran into each other on there.... got to know each other.... and we were in-speratable.... * I think I spelled that wrong*..... Anyways... he was in hawaii... and I was in Indiana... Well.. things were going good for us... then something terrible happened to meh... and I shut everyone out.. We stopped talking. Then the following year by accident we got talking about... and now..... we are going strong!! It's like it was ment to be. I dunno if that made sense to anybody but that was the long story told short.... I've been with him every step of the way with the Navy... and I dont ever plan to change that... I love the way he holds my hand..... The warmth of his hugs... And the love I see in his eyes when he looks at meh...

i met him one day shortly before he left when my roommates husband brought him over (he is my roomies ssg) he said he "wanted to be around real people" and roomie said "shes kinda too young for you and shes kinda not single"

he doesnt take no for an answer.. and i swear he was gay the first time i saw him!! it took many many nights of sitting on my porch talking about what we wanted in life and him begging me to be his girl and wait for him to finally convince me..

i knew i was in love about 3 weeks after i left when i thought i was going to go crazy because i missed him so much and couldnt wait to hear his voice when he called!!

roomie met her hubby when we all lived on the same street we were 12 and 13 and he was 14.. we used to joke about how nerdy he looked and he ended up being best friends with her brother and we thought he hated us.. little did she know he had the biggest crush on her!!! when he heard she broke up with her boyfriend when she was 17 he snatched her up the next day and they were inseparable!! they got married april 28, 2007 and he left this past august.. he died on march 12, 2008

they will meet in heaven someday and be happy together like God had planned for them!!!

cant wait to see you again dustina, hope youre having fun up there!!

We met at my work. I worked with his sister and he came in to see her. He came by a second time and that time his sister told him I wanted his number. I didn't but I called so not to be rude. This was in January 2000. We got pg with our DD in June 2000 and in Spet. 2000 we got married.

I had strong feelings for him by 1 1/2-2 months after we met. He wasn't ready to commit so we just kept it casual (casual like we didn't define us as boyfriend/girlfriend but we were having sex). I bugged him all the time about if he was ready or not to commit yet and the answer was always no. I knew he had a lot of feelings for me. He just didn't feel he was in the right place at that time to be a very good boyfriend. Well, I got pg in June and so that started us having to talk about what we were going to do. We talked for a few months and finally decided the best thing for us was to get married. So really we went from casual dating to married. We were never really what I would call boyfriend/girlfriend. Moving our relationship so fast, me being pg at 18 (we got married when I was 19), moving 7-8 hours away from everyone I knew, and sitting at home all day cause I was no longer working, I didn't have any friends, and we only had 1 car which he used to go to and from work put alot of strain on our marriage right off the bat. We came close to divorce a few times. In July 2001 he rejoined the Navy so our DD and I moved in with my dad for 4 months. 2 months after we moved to FL. with John he left on deployment. During the 4 months I was in Ohio and then his deployment gave us the opportunity to work through our issues. By only being able to talk on the phone (and this was only with phone cards) and email we were able to focus on the important stuff. We got very close during those times, too. When he got back I knew I really loved him and we could and would make it. Since then our love has grown and I couldn't and don't want to imagine life without him.

I met him online - a month after my mom died. So, at the time, I really wasn't looking for romance. I had just gotten dumped a few months before, totally ended things with another ex of mine, and my grandma had died a few months before my mom. So, yeah, timing wasn't right. But then we talked some more over the summer over phone and IM and we decided to meet in October.

Went down to Corpus Christi, fell head over heels first time I saw him. We decided to date from that time on. But we didn't say "I love you" until December when I visited him in California.

DB and i met online. its strange because its not my personality at all to find osmeone online, but it just kinda worked out. we takled online, texting and on the phone for about a month before we couldnt take it anymore and i flew to San Deigo (im in ohio) to see him on base for 4 days. i was freaking out on the plane because i couldnt believe what i was doing. We knew we loved each other before i even got there and told each other so. but the second i saw him standing in the doorway with his simple but crooked smile, i knew it was for real. we've been together 3 months and i've never been happier with the internet lol

What a great idea. These stories are soooooo sweet. Here's ours:

Last spring I took a rock climbing course through my college alumni association. I wanted to do it again, but in order to climb at the gym you have to have a partner to belay you (hold your rope). I didn't have a partner. So, on my MySpace page in the section for who you would like to meet I wrote that I wanted a rock climbing partner. A little while later DB messaged me wanting to know if I still needed a partner. We messaged back and forth for about a month because I wanted to make sure he wasn't a nut job before meeting him. I was finally ready to meet him and he had to pass because his orders came through to deploy to Iraq.

So off he went to Iraq and we messaged every day that he was gone. We talked about everything and nothing while he was gone. I knew I was interested in more than friendship when hearing from him became a hilight of my day. We started making plans to hang out when he came back. Things quickly changed from "Let's hang out at the climbing gym" to him asking me "you're mine for the whole evening, right?"

Our first date was great. He did everything right. He texted me every day. Things were perfect. And then he dropped off the radar for 2 weeks. He was gone for work, but I didn't know that. I thought I had been dropped and wrote him off. When he came back, I kept him at a distance. I didn't want to be tied down. I was having too much fun playing with boys. So we kept things casual. We talked a few times a week, saw eachother at least once a week, and just enjoyed being together without any pressure or commitment.

One day I was reading a blog he posted and he mentioned a girl I didn't know and said something about wanting to get to know her better. I got JEALOUS. I knew right then and there that I cared for him more deeply than I was willing to admit. I got scared, because I haven't actually cared for a guy in many years. So, I told DB I couldn't see him anymore. Fortunately, DB didn't let me walk away. Instead, he pulled me closer. We decided to both be open to something developing between us. We are both pretty cautious about relationships and don't want to rush into anything. But I can honestly say that I look into my future and I see him there. I think that's a good sign. :grin:

We met online. I knew he was the one I wanted to marry when someone broke into my apartment in Orlando and he would drive every afternoon after school from JAX to my place in Orlando and stay with me and drive back around 4am in the morning. Seriously who would do that? I think he was like "I better just ask her to marry me and save all this drive!" :lol he did :roflmao

The very first time I met my husband he was teaching a martial arts class that I was taking ( ia had on zero make-up, had just pulled my hair into a sloppy ponytail for class, and was wearing an unflattering karate gi. I started working as a receptionist at the dojo and eventually he asked me out.

Match.com - While he was on deployment #1. :smitten
His wife had left him just after he got into country, his battle buddy made him sign up.
I had just gotten divorced from my became a useless bum after getting out of the Marine Corps husband, my sister talked me into signing up.
We started as penpals and it just grew.
I knew I loved him when I broke my nose (it was bad - racoon eyes and all) and we IM'd later that day, I didn't want to webcam but he talked me into it. He didn't laugh at me (at least not to my face) he asked how I was feeling I told him I was having a rotten day; broken nose, dealing with my overpushy parents, fighting with the ex-husband, work issues, etc, etc...
The next day he sent me 18 tulips, a teddy bear (1/2 the size of a person) a balloon, and a box of gourmet chocolates. They arrived while we were IMing and he let me be surprized. I started to cry, and he just said "Baby, don't cry. I'll be here and be strong for you when you can't be for yourself." The card said; A bear to hold you because I'm not there, A balloon to lift your spirits, a box of chocolates to keep you sweet when the world would have you turn sour, and tulips because they make you smile. It was so sweet I broke out and told him right then, and we'd never even met in person.
Now nearly 4 years later we are still going strong.:lovestruck

Awww you're girls' stories are so cute!!! That means I have to share mine! Ok I've posted some of this earlier today about how we met but here it is. I was in my Sr. year at college and my friends and I went to Daytona for Spring Break. Well we had planned on getting tattoos or piercings while we were there but my doctor told me I shouldn't because my blood count was off or something, well I decided to anyway, so the last day we were there, Fri we all went and got ours done. I got the tattoo I had drawn out and wanted for about 3 years that represented 2 hearts brought together through their faith in Christ because that's what I wanted in a mate.

So that night we went out to the club and the whole night I was so afraid of someone stepping on my foot where I got my tattoo... Meanwhile on his end.... he was dating this really crappy girl that he had been off and on with for a few years and was just ready to be done with her, so he decided to go down to Daytona to get away from Jacksonville where he's from. He had been praying about it and asked God if he wasn't meant to be w/ this other girl then let him know. So he was going to be coming down with his friend but they backed out at the last minute and he decided to go anyway even if he was by himself (thank goodness they didn't come). Well he got down there at about 1:00am and he started wailing out, dancing like crazy in the club, and he almost stepped on my foot when he did! Well THAT got my attention and I was like hey, could you watch where your dancing there, I just got a tattoo and you almost stepped on it! Lol, he was sooooo apolagetic and made sure I was ok, well when I got a look at him, damn he was dressed good, button up shirt, matching tie, when most guys in there were in t-shirts and jeans, plus he was FINE!!!! So I danced my little booty over in front of him, then left the club with him cuz he offered to drive me back to our hotel instead of me having to walk (btw my g/f's were NOT happy about that! lol) But we ended up talking about our lives and walking on the beach, even though after the fact I found out he hates the beach, he only did it for me. Then he gave me all his MySpace, phone number etc. except he didn't put an area code and i had no clue. So I added him on MySpace after I got back and he called later that day, we talked the whole rest of the time I was back at school and he was so sweet, he printed off the pics we took when we met & mailed them to me, and also sent me $50 for graduation when he found out someone had stolen money out of my house when I had people over.

Well I was planning on moving out of the midwest when I graduated and was looking at a couple jobs in Florida, one in Miami and he was talking about how he would be willing to move down there to be closer to me, or at least drive to meet me every weekend, well as luck would have it, that job didn't work out so I was looking at a job now in Jacksonville cuz i figured if I'm gonna move to Florida I might as well go where I know someone already. At this point he was already saying i love you on the phone and I was still uncomfortable saying it so he was like ok then I love you like a sister, lol. But on one conversation we were having, he said it and I just automatically said it and didn't realize it until after it was out of my mouth.

So anyway, wrapping up this long story I guess I knew I loved him just one random day, I was laying in bed next to him and just looking at him while he was sleeping and it hit me, I just thought "wow, I have never been so in love with somebody, I love him so much it's almost scary." He is the most perfect person I could ever ask for, we've gotten closer to God through each other, he's never gotten angry at me, he listens to me whenever I'm upset about something and will change his actions, and he can't wait to get married and start our life together.

Wow I think you guys made me just fall back in love with him all over again, after going through those memories lol. Sorry it was so long!

I met DB online. On Second Life 3 years and 4 months ago.

The love part well that just kinda happened.

We became instant bestfriends on SL.. then threw a year or so that slowly became RL friends (though we never met at that time).

Then as time went on things just grew, but I think the moment that I relized I was head over heels in love with him was last year V-Day when out of no where he sent me a dozen long stem roses because he knew that I had never gotten flowers from someone before.

The rest as they say.. is history!

We first met in the summer by a river. First time I ever saw him, he was on a boat. :wub I was 15. Then we saw each other a few times a year, and than again this past summer on a camping trip.
I knew I was inlove when he took me on a canoe trip, and it was incredible, just the two of us before we were dating. He said to me "I have dated a few other girls, but never loved them." He looked me right in the eye when he said that, and thats when I knew I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. :wub
