“Death Metal Devotion”

best of surprising

He wrote me a terrible death metal love song and played it for me on his guitar. The music was horrifying but I knew he loved me.

“Aunt Flow”

best of surprising

The first night I slept over I got my period and bled all over his white sheets. I was mortified. He said “No biggie, that’s what detergent is for,” and made me breakfast.

— Red

Postscript: We were together for a while but it didn’t work out. He’ still a great guy though. No hard feelings.

“Stranded”

best of surprising

I only knew him for two weeks but was so smitten I left the country with him to visit his family. I lost my passport and we were stranded for six months.

“Playground Love”

We were playing frisbee and he threw it and accidentally hit me square in the nose. He immediatley ran over to check on me and luckily my nose wasn’t broken.

“Instrumental Aphrodisiac”

surprising

We were just friends, talking about music and it came up how much we both liked TOOL. He told me his favorite CD was “Opiate” which I had never heard of (it’s not that easy to find). He went out to his car, grabbed it, gave it to me and told me to keep it. He said he knew I would appreciate it and he would just get another one.

— Lisa

Postscript: We didn’t get together until two years after that but five years of dating later we’re still going strong. Thanks Maynard!
