We were standing in the rain and I turned to her and told her I loved her. It was kind of like out of a movie.
— Matt
Postscript: After 1.5 years together I paid for her to go visit her family as a gift and found out she was cheating. When I asked her about it she said “What do you want me to do about it?”
He told me how sexy I was at 183 pounds and pregnant. I’m usually 125.
— Momma
Postscript: We’re still married but I did almost once burn the house down with him in it. Ahh…true love.
I was in chem class and was so sleepy and tired, that I feel asleep standing up leaning on a lab bench. I lost my balance and fell, then woke up 15 minutes later in his arms. Waking up to his beautiful face and most brilliant green eyes , I realized this is what I wanted most to do: To wake up to every morning to this. When he blushed and smiled at me, my heart turned over.
—Contented In Love
Postscript: He caught me as I fell, and has caught my heart as well. It’s with him now, in his arms and I’m happy to say I’m blessed enough to wake up to him everyday. We dated that year , went our separate ways for university, and ended up meeting once again. We’ve been married for a year and are expecting a baby girl in September. I love him.
The first time she came round to mine, and we talked in-depth about relationships. She sat opposite me, hugging a cushion the whole time. Our eyes kept meeting then falling away, nervous of expressing too much. When she left, before I’d even realized, I was sitting where she had sat, hugging the same cushion.
—James
Postscript: I realized then, hopelessly, it was love.
I instantly felt a connection and was completely attracted to her when we met in high school. She undeniably became my best friend. All through high school we dated other people, but every time we would talk I would feel the connection. My junior year of high school, I said to her, “We are going to grow old and fat together, watch.” She told me that she knows we will, and kept reminding me that we will ever since then.
—Hunnish
Postscript: We didn’t actually start dating until 2 years after high school due to minimal contact. But, we have been dating for over a year now and are still going strong. She still is my best friend. She is the the girl that I am undoubtedly in love with. And yes, we still plan on growing old and fat together.
On our second date we took in a Soul Asylum show at First Avenue in Minneapolis. He bought us beer with his fake ID. As we stood there immersed in the music, mouthing the words to every song and doing that weird head-bob thing, we’d look at one another, lock eyes and smile. I knew it was a life-defining relationship.
—Kay
Postscript: I surprised him by planting a good, hard kiss on him after the show. We dated long-distance for a little more than three years. At 22, our lives went different directions. My heart still melts when I hear 90s alternative rock.
He told me his favorite pizza was thin crust sausage with mushrooms. That’s my favorite too.
—T
Postscript: Four years later, and we’re still together—through thick and thin.
