Search Results: romantic stories

A man in search of the ultimate meet-cute story has taken to Facebook in the hopes of finding a woman he met last New Year's Eve after they both got lost.

"I was just walking around and admiring the lights and found this girl just crying on the side of the road," Reese McKee, 25, of Wellington, told the New Zealand Herald. "I went and tried to help her out. She was lost. She'd lost all her friends."

Both Reese and his newfound friend were in Hong Kong to watch 2012 turn into 2013.

After he cheered her up with his "undeniably bad sense of humour," Reese and the woman went out drinking and eventually reconnected with her friends.

The party went on until 6 a. m., when Reese and his New Year's Eve parted ways.

Before disappearing into the dawn, however, she left Reese with her name (Katie), her hometown (Washington D. C.), her photo, and a simple request: "Find me."

He tried, but all his efforts were in vain. When he first turned to Facebook back in June, that too was a bust.

He decided to try again this week.

"I think this time of year people have hope for the magic (of Christmas)," Reese said.

With over 4,000 people joining the search, Reese hopes to accomplish his goal of reuniting with Katie just before midnight on New Year's Eve.

"While the main aim of this event has been to reconnect with the now infamous 'Katie', it's also about me, finding myself and who I know I can be," Reese writes in his latest Facebook status update.

Follow up story:

So, three years ago, I met this amazing girl on a school trip to Europe. We slowly started the get to know one another and kept flirting until we were holding hands and I was letting her use my shoulder as a pillow during long bus rides. We couldn't believe that we lived 40 minutes apart but we met all the way across the world! so at the airport I slipped a note into her suitcase telling her how much the past 10 days meant to me and saying how I was serious about that date I had promised her and we'd be in touch when we get back home.

Since that first date, we also have been on many road trips and have shared lots of amazing memories. From going to see concerts or walking through waist deep snow for half an hour each way to go spend some time alone in our family cottage...

I know that it takes much more than just memories to make a relationship work, but do you think that little memories like this can truly help a couple stay together?
