Love stories! I want to hear them all!

Lykeios & I have been together for almost 8 years.

We were paired up at our extended high school for our environmental science class to create a solar oven...
Let me just tell you how brilliant he is....
He built that oven pretty much all in his mind and we had amazing
Chili dogs because of it

He brought me my favorite soda and after that moment we were coming
Up with our future children's names and ever since we have been inseparable!

He is so amazing and I couldn't imagine my life without him!
The good and the bad times!

I love you adam!!!

I want to hear more love stories!!!!! Share with me please!!!!

Nothing like a good old love story to make you feel all warm and fuzzy!

Hmm, I know plenty of Jedi have some good love stories of their own!

Love you too Niji!

I have been trying to avoid romantic endeavors as of late, because all it seems to bring me is fear, anger, suffering, etc. (No reference intended). But I will share my story nevertheless. A year and a half ago, I became friends with a woman in my art class, her name was Kaley. She was beautiful, despite what she thought, she was smart to despite what she felt, and I after a time of seeing her, I felt so much more than a friendship for her, I couldn't stop thinking about her, every moment my eyes made contact with hers I forced myself not to break out into a large smile. Although, I'm sure she caught wind of my intentions, because once I had given her some gifts (more specifically, a gift given to me by a bhuddist monk whom happened to be travelling at the time) and shortly after hearing this, her mother told her to dispose of them and they were thrown out the window of a moving car. But still, I felt for her, despite the gesture, despite the anger I had, I still wanted to be with her. The following week, I was more direct and asked her, but she was taken by a fool of a man that can barely contain his anger. And here I am, alone still.

I met my current boyfriend on-line in 2008 when I was in my final year of high school. We met on an on-line board for musicians, and struck up an interest in one another as we both played the same instrument, and had similar beliefs on a variety of subjects. We started out as friends, and talked from time to time about meeting up in person or perhaps moving closer to one another so that we could hang out in person. We mainly communicated through phone, texts, and video chats.

As the years progressed, we became more and more comfortable with one another, and began to flit here and there as our friendship slowly developed into something more. Last year, we decided to enter into a formal relationship with one another, that only lasted a few months because of a medical issue I had which led into a suicide attempt. I broke off contact with him abruptly, and he spent a while trying to reach me, but I was still upset and didn't want to tell him of my attempt.

A couple of weeks ago, I got back into contact with him, and told him everything that had happened, and then some. I apologized to him for what I did, and he said he understood. We talked for a while, and decided to give the relationship another try on the condition that I would promise to be more open about any crisis I was going through, so that he could try to help me through it.

I feel that we are even closer to one another than before because of this, mainly because I have shared things with him that I held secret even during the couple of months we were first together.

He has invited me to move and live with him when I feel comfortable doing so, and we are working through plans to do just that.

So, that's my love story. A little more troubled than some, but at least me and him are still very much in love after all of it.

My wife and I met in high school when I was just a sophomore and she was a junior. Of course, she didn't look as if she were older than I was, but that's how she's always been. She actually picked me out. I was minding my own business when my friend told me that she asked what my name was. I was nonplussed because girls didn't really pay much attention to me; not that I knew of. So, we finally met and started talking to each other on the school bus and it just went from there. We went through a lot together; happiness, sadness, joy, sorrow, etc. Because we stuck through it together the entire time, I thought it was wise to keep her in my life, so I asked her to marry me and, of course, she accepted. The summer after I graduated, we got married in her church and I was already signed up to go into the Air Force at the time. In December, I went to basic training and that was the first time we were ever separated for longer than a day. I felt sad, but I focused on rejoining with her when I was finished with that, which helped me get through the tough times. That was 11 years ago and we're still going strong. I've been to Korea (a year-long tour) twice before this time, which is my third, and we make sure we talk to each other every day, even if just to say hello. We've got five highly energetic, intelligent boys and I wouldn't trade it for anything. My wife and I are complete opposites in just about everything. I'm tall, she's short; I'm white, she's hispanic; I'm Agnostic, she's Christian; I'm an Aries, she's a Libra; the list goes on. They say opposites attract and our life together has proven it true.

I'm not sure this qualifies as a love story, because it's kind of sad.

A few years ago I met a girl who was only going to be in town for a short time. The day we met was the beginning of a week of the best times of my life. We're both musicians and artists, so we never ran out of things to talk about. We even played music and sang together, slightly joking that we would start a band. We went to the movies, and she laid her head on my shoulder. She was going through some rough times too, so I held her when she cried. We were inseparable for that entire week. My only regret is that we never kissed.

The idea was that we'd see each other again. We talked on the internet a lot. But gradually those conversations faded away. I told her flat out how I felt about her, but she never really said how she felt about me.

I never saw her after that. Now... I found out on Facebook that she's getting married. I don't think I ever felt so heart broken. I think about her every day, and at night she's always my last thought before I fall asleep. I don't obsess over her every minute or even try to contact her. I just can't seem to let go. I still love her.

Gee, I'm sorry to hear that Orvis! But, hey, the best things often come when you aren't looking. That's how it was for me. I hope you find that person that will make you smile.

Good luck to ya! Things will get brighter, I'm sure!

Now that is beautiful!

Actually, sounds quite similar to my relationship with Niji/Sammi. We've had more than our fair share of ups, downs, overdoses, and other tragedies and stayed strong.

Good luck to ya! The couple that can make it through this kind of thing and feel closer because of it will go far.

Wonderful story, my friend!

Talk about opposites, I just found out Sammi literally has the exact opposite personality type as me. Haha. I'm ENFP she's ISTJ. Every letter is reversed...lol. Good stuff.

Good luck to ya!

Wow, that's still a love story, my friend. Ever seen 500 Days of Summer? Boy is that a "heart-in-the-blender" kind of flick. It's still a love story though.

That kind of pain is hard to deal with. The kind of pain that sinks into your soul. Still, in time, I bet you'll meet someone new that will captivate you just as much and you'll begin to forget even the past girl's name. I know that sounds trite now, but, it happens every day. I've seen my friends go through very similar experiences.

Good luck to ya!
