I started hooking up with a newly single friend. I thought I was just doing it for the “nookie” until we went to a 311 concert together as friends and some loser started hitting on her. I grabbed her and started making out with her making it obvious she wasn’t single anymore.

Postscript: Five years later we’re still making out in public. God bless 311.
I knew it was love when he called me to tell me he rolled his truck and my first instinct was to get in my car and go to him. I picked him up from the hospital. Two days later, I spent 5 hours on the road helping him take care of his totaled truck and get something new to drive.
—Donna
Postscript: Two weeks later, his transmission went out. I helped him again without a single hesitation. He told me he loved me that evening.
After dating for a few weeks, we were fooling around at my house. I wanted to make sure he was having as much fun as I was, so I asked him to say something. He thought for a minute and said, “I love you.” Not what I was expecting, but after I thought a minute myself, I realized I loved him too.

Postscript: He was the first guy I ever dated who said “I love you” first, and we’re still together (and now married) five years later.
While at a popular bar, my friend ran into two guys she knew in high school. One of them started talking to me and offered to buy me a drink. Both his group of friends and my friends spent the rest of the night bar hopping. We had so much fun, laughing, drinking, making fun of our drunk friends, dancing, and simply hanging out. The next day we texted each other all day and I ended up meeting up with him at his place to celebrate his friend’s birthday. When we finally had a formal first date, he took me to a nice restaurant and we walked along the coast just talking about random stuff. I knew then I would marry him.
—Mary
Postscript: Two months after we met, we were engaged and two years after that, we were married. We have been married for about a year and half and I can’t see myself with anyone else.
When we were stopped at a light I turned my head and saw a busty 20-something blonde in a blue ’64 Mustang.
“Wow that’s sweet,” I said, referring to the car. So, my girlfriend looked the same direction and said, “Sure is, and the car is sweet too!” This caused me to miss the light turning green and to do an honest-to-god double-take at her. Then the driver behind me then began honking.
—Kyle
Postscript: We’ve been together for almost 12 years now. We both love classic and muscle cars and can appreciate the beauty of the female form. Red lights are a good thing.
A friend and I decided to go to a hockey game with our sons—not knowing I was being set up. She is one hot woman, her and her friend talked about everything from hockey to leg shaving. She was trying to check me out and I was doing the same. All we said to each that night was hi and bye. I got her number and texted her to apologize for not talking to her. We talked for about 10 hours the next night.
—Andrew
Postscript: We have been “checking” each other out for over 2 years now! I knew after that first phone conversation she was my soulmate.
I was reading “Ultimate Spider-Man” volume 22, when Mary Jane and Peter Parker announce they 1) love each other and 2) would marry each other and 3) ultimately hook up. I thought to myself, “I love him more than Spider-Man loves Mary Jane.” I no longer question if I might love him, I just know that I do.
—Mary Jane
Postscript: This was yesterday, 2/26/2010, that I came to the realization. I’ve known that he’s loved me for a year; I’m sorry that I made him wait.
