    Y'all I love my story! My FH's best friend is dating my best friend from college. My FH and I met once in passing when I went home with my best friend for holiday break. Fast forward 2+ years to graduation weekend at my college. My best friend's boyfriend came up and brought my FH (still a stranger at this point). We were the last two awake and took a walk across my college campus. Fast forward 2 more years. He wass ending a bad relationship and I lived across the country. We started talking and within a month he decided to fly across the country to meet/visit me. We had a great time in a short 3 days. As soon as he landed back home we started planning his next trip out 2 weeks later to move me across the country with him. 1.5 years later we are planning our wedding!
    He later told me that the walk we took that night on my college campus was when he knew he wanted to marry me, but he was too nervous to kiss me or make any sort of move!

    Thank goodness I took that leap of faith to move my whole life across the country for a man that ended up being the man of my dreams!

    Aug 28th 2006 was the first day of my freshmen year of high school. I was 14 and nervous but confident in myself. The second I walked into homeroom I couldn’t stop staring at this cute, mean looking boy in the corner (FH). Come to find out we had homeroom, lunch, and FOUR out of six classes together. I made the first move and we became friends instantly. Two months go by and I confessed and told him how cute he was and that he’s a great person. He felt the same way and we decided we’d start a relationship. Yes we were very young. Yes we should have focused on school. Yes I should have waited. We fell heads over heels for one another. Teachers and principals called us “The Love Birds” when you see him you’ll see me vice versa haha. Not because we skip classes or walk around the hallways it’s because we had most our classes together and sat with each other. At 16 we welcomed our daughter to the world. FH purposed to me when I was pregnant but we were WAY too young to think about all that. FH purposed again in 2014 but an emergency happened and we had to push it off. Now 13 years later were getting married, have a house of our own, our daughter is now 10 and we had our son in 2013. Yes we started backwards but our love for each other is amazing. We are truly high school sweethearts.

    Okay, so when I met him, I was not looking for any sort of relationship. My last relationship had damaged me psychologically to the point where I was too afraid to open up or let anyone get close, because I couldn't trust them or myself (my ex had me feeling like I was a failure and I didn't want to feel like that again). I liked being single and not having to worry about anyone but myself.

    We met at the local bar on the night before Christmas Eve for karaoke. I'd already had 2 other guys hang around me trying to get my attention by buying me the same beer I was already drinking, and I was trying to blow them off because I really just wanted to hang out with the woman next to me. Then some guy comes up behind me, places the SAME beer they'd gotten me down in front of me, and says "I think you're really cute." But he runs off before I even get the chance to say thank you.

    Fast forward an hour later, and the woman I was with returns after finding him in the crowd of college kids. We get to talking just for me to find out that not only do I know his dad, but I work with his dad and that he's about to start working there, too. Now, I only have 2 rules about relationships/hookups/what have you: 1) You can't be a coworker (one bad experience was enough), and 2) you can't be more than 3 years older or younger than me. He told me he was 21 which was cutting it close to the 3 year mark. Whatever. But I told him I don't get involved with coworkers. Of course, we were both drunk and he was probably the most handsome guy to ever hit on me in my entire life, so when he snuck in a kiss, I didn't resist. But I laughed and told him no when he tried to go any farther.

    Turns out he was 19, which was about 6 years younger than me (I work with his Dad, did he think I wouldn't find out?) so when we started working together I pretty much gave him the cold shoulder for a good three months. Somehow, though, he didn't give up, and I was used to guys giving up after a week.

    Fast forward 5 months of working together: I couldn't help falling for him and his charm despite my rules, but I did a pretty good job of keeping that to myself because I still didn't want a relationship. He was going through a hard time so I hugged him for the very first time to console him, and later that week he asked to come over. I told him it would only be hanging out, but somehow 10 turned into 12 and 12 turned into 2 AM and he ended up staying the night in my bed. I told him for 2 weeks after that, that we couldn't date or be exclusive because I still was trying to resist him and the whole getting into a relationship thing, but he stuck around and I realized that I really didn't want anyone else. So here we are.

    I met my fiancé at a record store in long beach! There was a band playing and that’s what sparked the conversation. The record store had a coffee shop attached to it and he asked if I wanted to grab a coffee with him, we sat there for 4 hours talking. 6 years later and we are getting married!

    I met my FH years ago (he doesnt remember). My brother started off by renting a room from him and they became best friends, so he ended up invited to family stuff. I thought he was cute but I lived 2 hours away and I didnt want a LDR.

    Fast forward, 4 years and my ex kicked me out and I had to move home with my parents (I couldnt afford a new place alone in that city). He had just come back from a year deployment... we both had a job in the same place. We ended up talking and after 4 months and asking my brother for permission, he asked me out. The rest is history.

    My FH was a regular in the bar I worked at and would always come in and flirt with me. For awhile I wasn’t having it and would just laugh at all his attempts and tell him no. One time he even said he knew we were going to get married, but I just laughed it off. Finally, a month before I moved 5 hours away, I thought why not hang out with him just once?! We fell for each other hard within that first month, did long distance for 5 months, then moved in together, and got engaged a year later! We had a funny start but once I gave him a chance we really just clicked and now we’re getting married in July! 🤗

    We met at work! We both worked for the same company 2 years ago! He was a chiropractic assistant and I was in the billing department. We became good friends and the moment he left the job, two days later he asked me on a date to Disney World and it’s been history ever since! 😊 He actually proposed at Disney as well! ❤️

    At a cousin's local bar in our hometown while I was looking for a job. He was the bartender on shift when I went in to leave my resume (said ever since he saw me that day he couldn't get me off his head). My cousins gave me a couple of hours so I could gain experience and I was under his training most of the time. Jumped from that bar to an actual bar to work thanks to his help. Became a bartender and spent each and every weekend at my cousin's bar alone, sitting down at the bar top with whatever new craft beer they had brought or he had for me to try and talking to him. We were actually getting to know each other but I had other interests then. He tried for about a whole year and a half to get out of the friendzone but I just kept denying to everyone and myself I liked him, last time was way of a bad experience... After Hurricane Maria left us without complete comunication, exactly the next day following that event, my first wish was for my mom to help me get to his house and check on him and his family... It wasn't after we saw each other, I got home and went to bed that I realized I was really interested in him. He was the first person I got worried about before, through and after the hurricane. We then took many excuses like getting supplies, food, helping other friend's houses, etc. to see each other every day until he finally went for a last shot at getting out of the friendzone and I let him. Been together ever since and finished popping the question 💘 I still learn more from him every day and wish to do so for the rest of what's left, but I couldn't be happier with the person I have by my side.

    We met at Walgreens when I was 19. I worked in the pharmacy, he worked at the register. He asked me out, but I said I was too busy trying to get into nursing school. After nursing school graduation I slid into his fb DMs, & the rest is history! Not gunna lie, part of me wishes I started going out with him when I was 19 lol!
