What's your love story?

Question

Mines is kind of complicated. We met in college and he wanted to pursue me then but I was into someone else at the time. We would be good friends for over 10 years before getting together.

We started as friends with benefits back in 2022 and then became official in 2023 and in a few weeks it will be a year since we've been together.

So what's your love story?

Mineses am as follows:
My guitarist's girlfriend kept asking me to play drums for friends of her from New Orleans who never had a drummer, they'd just pick one up wherever they played. They were an improvisational jazz rock band and I kept telling her, "No!". Finally, I caved and did the show. It fucking sucked! I couldn't possibly play quiet enough to suit them, no matter how softly I played and they refused to turn up!
After our set, I went to the front of the room to wait for them to get paid so they could take my drums back to the rehearsal house. While waiting there, these two gorgeous girls walked in and were stood in front of me (I was sitting) and they spotted me and apologized for blocking my view. I wasn't paying any attention to this other band because I already knew who they were and they were assholes. So, I told these girls standing in front of me was fine, don't worry about it. After a few minutes, they both decided to sit at my table and talk with me. One was a dark Indian with long black hair and huge glowing white teeth (under the black lights). She was also a philosophy major. The other was a blonde from Poland who was a tad on the chubby side but still quite a beauty with long braided pony tails. I, later, found out that she's a lesbian and was trying to get into the pants of the Induah! She was also a psychology major and a feminist... who also had a 5 year old daughter!! This was a date she'd asked the Induah on to try to get sexual with her.
Well, we all started talking paying no attention at all to the band. I was kinda stuck on the Polish girl but, the Induah did most of the talking. Eventually, she won me over slightly more.
About an hour later, the band I was with was ready to take me back to the rehearsal house and I said goodbye to the girls and we all figured we'd never see each other again.
Maybe a week later, I had to run downtown to a drug store to put an application in and, just as I was about to go into the store, some girl said, "It's you! Hi!!". I turned around to look and saw some Hindu girl standing there smiling at me! Ooo! Great!! Someone seems to want to talk to me!! She was standing at a bus stop so, I rushed in, handed my application in and rushed back out to meet her before her bus came to take her away from me, again! Turns out, she was the Induah I met at that show and she WAS waiting for a bus to go back home! We stood there and talked for at least an hour and I'm SURE she let SEVERAL buses that took her home, go by so she could talk to me! We were talking about my fave subject, music/records and I was telling her of loads of stuff I thought she'd like but had never heard of before so, as she wanted to write this stuff down, she invited me to her place for a pizza so we could talk records, again. We spent at least 3 hours doing so.
A few nights later, I went back to her place to talk records with her again, at her request. After another session or two of that, she wanted to see MY band play so, I took her to a show a few blocks away. She loved it and my playing! We met up a time or two more after that and quickly became lovers! We were together for the next 10 years until the little mini-bitch started cheating on me!!

My wife and I met in high school, she went to college and I went to University in different cities and we still come out together.

We got a place together after school to make sure we could stand one another. LOL

Then we got married when I was 24. We had 25 years together and then she passed on. Broke my heart and my soul because I thought we would get to grow old together.

I miss her everyday. For now, I take care of our daughter and tried to raise her to be someone my wife would be proud of.

I know I will see her again someday, but I still have lots to do here before that happens.

It's been tough to find someone else, when you know you lost the love of your life, but, I have good family and friends and know I am not alone.

Met randomly at the gym, we have mutual friends but we never really talked to each other. Decided to start working out together because why not, turns out we vibe really well. We both weren’t looking to get into a relationship though but we agreed to be friends with benefits. Started hooking up (a lot), still went to the gym together, even stayed over at each other’s places a lot.

Eventually a year after I caught feelings, I decided to end our arrangement because I started wanting more than just being hookup buddies but didn’t want to ruin the friendship. Turns out he already fell for me months earlier but tried to hide it bcs he also didn’t want to ruin the friendship lol We decided to just f it and try out dating. Didn’t work out, we were both still too unready and broken from our previous relationship so it got toxic.

We decided to still work out together tho. But then, we started opening up more and communicating more, we each went to therapy and we decided to give dating another go. We’ve now been together for almost 5 years now I think!

We matched on a dating app and been inseparable since then. We went through something really tough when our relationship was still really fresh but that somehow just made us stronger. We're married now. I love him.

He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her
She'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
Five years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin' up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along
And stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
Sorry, girl, but you missed out
Well, tough, luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock each other's world
I'm with the skater boy
I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
I'm with the skater boy
I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

Met in college. She was one of the best people I knew. Kind, friendly, helpful, playful, talkative. She was very nice to me. We became fast friends. I started liking her. Meanwhile another guy in our class started having feelings for her. Confidentially the two of us confessed our feelings on the same day, at the same time, on different social media. He got to know that I confessed and got insecure. Things went sour between those two. Yet she dated him. Her relationship ups and downs with him took a tool on my relationship with her. I kissed her accidentally and that caused even more drama in the love triangle. Covid happened. They broke up. We started talking more. The two of us started dating. Things were going great but we knew the future was bleak. We graduated and moved to different cities for work. Her priorities changed. I went to visit her for a few days. We broke up during my visit (mutually agreed upon). We agreed that this wouldn't affect our friendship. It did. Her attitude towards me changed drastically. Eventually this led to a compete detachment. Now she's just a memory that I wish I could forget. It's been 2 years. She's probably having the time of her life, while my life hasn't been all that well. The sudden change in her nature shook me to the core. Something I never expected, at least not from her, considering how she was when I first met her in freshman year.

Things are so bad that I keep getting frequent nightmares about her. Last year was exceptionally bas. Nightmares were a daily occurence. My health started deteriorating due to lack of sleep. My social interaction is non existent. I can't overcome the distrust, which prevents me from getting close with anyone - romantically or platonically. A couple months back she asked me to delete all of our pictures together - "exes don't keep thousands of pictures of their ex". Made things even worse for me. I did delete everything, but it upset me even more. Those were fond memories of mine. Happiness that never continued after graduation. I'm not sure what else there is to say. All I can say to myself is - be a man, suck it up, that's how it is.

That about sums it up

It was after a year of dating a few different girls and they all ended badly. I was really sick of dating and I was going to give up on it for a while or maybe forever. I was planning on moving to Colorado and try to find work out there and planned on never coming back. I was going out there with another kid. I even helped him fix up his car so it would make the trip. I had impacted wisdom teeth and I wanted to get them out before I left. I had them removed in the hospital and it took a few days before the swelling went down. I called this kid to tell him I was good to go. His mother told me he left without me. I was angry but I was still in town to go to my family's vacation home on Memorial Day. I was cleaning up the yard when a group of 8 or 9 people walk by. My friend was with me and he started talking to them. I just kept working until I noticed a girl wearing cutoff jean shorts and worn out old sneakers. She had the prettiest smile I ever saw. I tried to talk to her but she totally shut me down. Later I went down to the beach and tried again and this time she told me that she just graduated from college and she lived near where I lived. She would not tell me her name because she didn't want anything to do with me. I ended up going to her college library and getting her yearbook. I went through the whole thing until I spotted her picture with that same smile. I got her name and was able to look her up in the phonebook (this was the 80's). She asked me how I tracked her down and I told her. She was actually impressed that I went through all that trouble. I asked her if she would go out with me and she said that she was starting a new job out of state and was leaving the next day. I chalked it up to my crappy luck and forgot about it. A month or so later I ran into her again at the beach and we spent a lot of time together and decided we would try to date each other. A year and a half later we got married.

Here's mine: We met in our first year of middle school and we pretty much instantly became best friends but as the years went on and we got a little older I developed a crush on him but I always too afraid to tell him because I thought if told him and he didn't feel the same way things between us wouldn't be the same as they were before anyway fast forward to our senior year of high school he kind of started dropping hints that he liked me too like I was on my way to science class once and he held the building door open for me, another time we were on a college tour together and he said he wanted to be close to me the entire time and I was cold one time and he gave his jacket but I was oblivious and thought he was just being the nice person he is now we fast forward again and it's the summer before we started college and he texted me one night and asked if he could tell a secret and I said sure and he told he's always liked me and I said I've always liked him too and then he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes and as of now we've been together for almost two years and I couldn't be happier

Story time:

So there I was in the middle of a Brazilian coffee shop talking shit to my sister about the guy in front of me with the tattoos. Some were cool and others were meh like the Chinese dragon tattoo on a big buff black guy. anways, my sister and I were talking in our mysterious foreign language and the dude in front of us precedes to order his coffee. He moves to the side and casually smile and we smile back cause we just spend 5 minutes roasting this dude. We go ahead and place our orders and wait. He grabs his coffee and says, ‘thank you for the tattoo breakdowns ink masters’ in our mysterious foreign language. 🤣🥲

‘Would you like to have coffee with me sometime and we can discuss ways to improve my artwork’

been together ever since.
moral of the story: it pays to talk shit sometimes. ❤️

Single but sure I can share my last partner story how we met lol. Our first time meeting was in my early 20s when I was drunk af and it was my first time drunk 😅😂 I didn’t remember him at all, but he remember me and hit on me according to him. The second time was our late 20s at Friendsgiving, but I was taken and I didn’t notice him as I was taken. The third time we met was when I was 30 at our mutual friends destination wedding in Mexico, we hit it off that night after talking some more and he was always tryna make me notice him lol. It started as a magical and romantic love story meeting three different time periods & never expected to meet your next partner at a wedding.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

we knew each other for years, but somehow, we didn't pay much attention to each other :D

I liked his best friends and could watch them play basketball or volleyball for hours. But his friend treated me like a younger sister, so I somehow accepted my fate :D

then, a lot of things happened in a short time. My grandfather was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He found me once crying in the rain on the playing ground. He lent me some of his music to listen to at home and checked on me regularly. I learned a few weeks later that his girlfriend's parents didn't allow her to meet him anymore.

We met more and more frequently to exchange music and talk... it took us a few months to get to our first kiss, lol

It wasn't the best relationship. Even if he was much older, we both were really immature. But he gave me this feeling of what I meant to him... his emotions always were bare, and he never hesitated to show me how much he cared...

Gave it one last shot, was falsely accused, was served an ex parte ppo had to fight in court, ended up pouring a civil temporary restraining order in myself to remove the PPO, dropped our off school, been rejecting and avoiding women ever sense. Not much of a love story now like an anti-love story.

A story of being too young and naive for my first ever love in high school, and at the moment having had quite a few women of interest since then. Women are my weakness, but I do want that "the one" experience, a woman I can be my best friend, confidant and one and only.
