Love stories! I want to hear them all!

I often asked my parents when will I know when I'm in love or when I've met the right person for me? They would always answer, "You'll just know".

Well that's my love story. In my young twenties I met a girl at my work place and it was like lightning. We could read eachother's thoughts, know right away if the other wasn't feeling well and make eachother laugh. Boy did we laugh. I'd often think to myself, if there is such a thing as soul mates, she would be mine. The only problem was that I was in a committed relationship and she was married.

I got transferred to another work place and we lost touch but I never forgot about her or stopped thinking about her. I suppose in hindsight we had to let the Universe play its hand. We met latter in life and the timing was perfect. I had seperated from my girlfriend and she had been divorced for two years. It was like nothing changed and we picked up right where we left off.

Needless to say that today we are happily married and life is great. She is perfect for me and I am a very lucky man to have her in my life. She thankfully feels the same way about me.

So for the hopeless romantic out there, never give up on the possibility of love.

Marvelous Story! Thank you very much for sharing it, brother! I loved hearing it!

In Earnest,

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.

I've dealt with suicide attempts and all of that also. if you ever want to talk about anything I am here for you and I'm so glad you got to talking to him again

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.

Such an amazing story thank you for sharing

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.

I am so sorry to hear that

this is an old story

in 1987 walking on the street, I cross the most beautiful legs, I ever seen, I walk behind for a block, because she was in miniskirt, and the legs were gorgeous. and she vanish from my eyes, I lost it
Destiny, make me met this legs and her owner, 2 month later, at a disco entrance door. (still remembering that legs )
was impossible to look at other places, so at the end, I take my chance.
I walk with her, back to her home, and I find, that there was more than 2 legs, there was a beautiful, mind, person, going together.

2 years later in 1989 I married her.

today more than 25 years later (from those legs) she is at my side.
next year, 25th wedding anniversary, and we hope to be together forever.

don't know, if is a nice story, its my love story
and she still have those legs.

A lot of things had to happen for me to meet my husband.

I was born and raised in San Diego, California. Joined the military after goofing around in college for two years. Tried to join the Navy, I felt the recruiters were feeding me bull trying to pressure me into joining OMGRIGHTTHEN so I turned to the Air Force instead.

Joined the Air Force, got through Basic Training (boot camp) got through Tech School where I was tagging along after this guy I liked. He was getting stationed in Minot North Dakota. When my orders finally filtered down I was headed to a place called "Dyess AFB" in Texas. Found a guy in my Flight who did NOT want to go to Minot so we agreed to swap. But didn't get my actual paper orders until the day the swap expired, couldn't find the guy to do the swap, and nothing I could do would get them to switch it for me afterwards. So off to Texas I went thinking "well, maybe there's a reason for it"

I joined the Honor Guard at Dyess where we did a lot of roaming for Color Guards, funerals, and POW/MIA ceremonies. I ended up in a shop where a friend of mine was playing World of Warcraft. Loving the old Wacraft games, I always wanted to play but didn't think my computer would handle it. It did and this friend got me playing on Laughing Skull as Horde (I had wanted to play the Alliance because I always enjoyed playing Warcraft as Night Elf but wanted to play with a friend) This Troll Shaman named Havijinoo was helping our Guild out through some of the raids and would sit in our Vent to chit-chat.

I ended up going to work the National Cemetery in Ft. Worth where I had to stay there for a week with no computer access (oh no!). When I came home I complained that "I had been stuck in Dallas for a week". To which Havi said "I live in Dallas!"

Few months later I grabbed the friend who played Warcraft with me (who also plays with Havi), and a second friend and the three of us went out to Dallas to go meet and hang out with Havi. At this point I thought "...I like this guy"

About a month later I teased him to meet me in Abilene where it clicked for him. I still think about all the things that could have happened differently but didn't. I could have been in the Navy and no where NEAR Texas. I could have been in Minot or any of the other hundred Air Force bases across the world, especially since Texas was no where NEAR my Dream Sheet (we call it that for a reason...). I could have been on any of the other 20 different servers on Warcraft or even on the wrong side of the 'war'. I could have let anxiety control me that weekend and never went to Dallas. Or never joined the Honor Guard and/or never mentioned the National Cemetery appointment.

We dated for a few years, and now with two deployments under our belts and nearly everything the Air Force can throw at us, we're still together five years after our wedding. And I still call him "Havi".

Quick version... We worked together in college then met up a few years later at a concert, which sparked a great friendship and a relationship soon after. When we first got together marriage was illegal (globally), but 12 years later we were finally able to tie the knot in our home state.

Until meeting my husband I wasn't much for relationships, but I guess it took that one special person to change that. We have similar beliefs and interests and we're both fairly independent, so being with him feels really natural.

I've appreciated reading other people's stories. Thanks for starting this thread and sharing your own story, Niji.

These are all beautiful stories!! Thanks for sharing them guys and gals!

Its funny because Niji over there is from North Dakota, Kamizu! She moved here to central Cali in fourth grade. I often think of the same kinds of things. What if she'd moved just one town over? What if I had decided not to attend the magnet school I did? What if she hadn't? What if I'd chosen a different "lab" at said school rather than Environmental Science? Its amazing all of the little things that could have gone horribly wrong so easily yet fell right into place!

When I think of that kind of stuff I REALLY sense the Force at "work" in the best ways.

I really have nothing to tell you, but I hoped to participate.

There are those I have loved. Honestly, I still love them ... where/when-ever they are.

... each of them are quite different from one another, and (to me) somehow remarkable from humanity altogether. They have all inspired poetry, literature, art & science. They have been philosophies in their very existence, religions in their allure, icons in their characters, entire histories in each heartbeat and supernovae in their sighs ...

... beautiful as sunrise, mysterious as the nearly New Moon, distant as quasars and dynamic as quarks.

And, now you know.

Love is the land of in-civil war and perpetual r/evolution, nuclear holocaust in the nuptial nest then warping away just as the World blows up. And still that love persists, throwing shadows on the walls, whispering between the tick-tocks and singing behind the rainbow ...
