Stories: how we met our loved ones

[Phoenix01]

Hello everybody, after seeing all the sad posts I decided to create an other positive one

Before I registered to this site I didn't know that this many ppl share the same happiness and pain as I do and I'd like to hear about your stories too:)

Well here is my story ^^

I met my boyfriend 2 years and 8 months ago on a 3D chat. I was about to leave for school when I got a chat invitation from him, by clicking on the /chat now/ button. we became good friends and day after day we talked more and more. He lived in South Africa, I live in Hungary. after 6 months our friendship grew so strong that we couldn't bear it anymore.Without ever seeing him or hearing his voice I confessed to him, and to my surprise, he confessed to me too. we figured out that we were thinking about eachother all day long, and we both felt more than mere friendship. Now were are together for 2 years and 2 months and we are happier than ever. since we are both college students we can only meet 3-4 times a year, but it's still worth it.

This is our story, I hope I'll get to know your stories too

I met him in London, two days after I arrived to The UK to study. I met him in a bar. We started talking and he asked me for my number. Three days later, we had our first day and kiss.

 

We started to spend a lot of time together. Four weeks later, he invited me to spend Christmas with him and his family in the North of England. After two years of relationship, he bought a flat in London and he invited me to live with him. We were in the relationship for 3.5 years together and live together one year.

 

Unfortunately now we are not together. He is in The Middle East and I am in South America. We split up a couple of days ago. However, he is still in my heart and mind.

I guess I'll add to this thread.

 

I met my boyfriend back in January on a dating site. I was newly single and a bit pissed off at men in general. I put up the bluntest profile I could think of which basically said I was looking for either just friends or someone who wanted a longterm relationship, nothing in between either. I got a couple of responses but no one held my attention like the guy who would later become my boyfriend. His email was about as blunt as mine, lol, and he actually asked me questions that pertained to my personality and what I wanted in a relationship instead of just sex questions like 90% of the other guys who emailed me.

 

So we emailed back and forth about three times, then took things over to msn messenger. After a few hours of that, I made a skype account so I could call him. I called him and we talked for about 3-4 hours straight. About three months later we met in person for the first time and I knew I was in love with him the instant I saw him.

 

We've been together for 10 months now and it sometimes gets hard, but I wouldn't want to be doing this with anyone else. We're also hoping to get my work visa approved soon so we can live together and find a way to qualify under common law marriage so I can immigrate to be with him permanently in 2012. So here's hoping to spending our first anniversary together in Canada under one roof.

I went out dancing with a short-term boyfriend at the time (we had been seeing one another for about three weeks). We got to the club early and had a few drinks, then dancing commenced. There was a bachelorette party there so we both joined them on the stage.

 

A few minutes later, he told me he was going to get another drink. While he was gone, this very cute young man started dancing with me and the girls on stage. I let him know that I was here with my boyfriend who had now been gone for 20 minutes. He must have gone the bathroom.

 

45 minutes passed and my boyfriend at the time hadn't returned. I looked around for him and saw him making out with another guy, and then another, and then another (around 10 in total).

 

After deciding to have fun, I had the best evening of my life, got the phone number of the cute boy dancing with me, had all the girls tell me I'm a wonderful boy who deserves better, took a cab home by myself and packed up my then ex-boyfriends belongings up (he was staying the weekend at my place) and left them on the hood of his car.

 

I called the cute boy the next day. We went out for breakfast. It was romance and love ever since. We had a great two months together before he left to work overseas for a year. We've decided to continue the relationship long distance until he returns next November. Every decision I made that night and the decision to stay in this relationship has been the best choice of my life.

I always saw my bf around school and thought of him as the funny cool kid in the 7th grade. We were on different teams...half of 7th grade was Team 1 the other Team 2. We were separate. One day he forgot to give his permission slip for a field trip so he had to come to my class and sit next to me. We drew Mickey Mouse and other stuff...lol

 

 

It wasn't until Freshman year we became friends. I was never really attracted because I thought he was just silly. He always flirted with me...but then again he seem to like a lot of girls at the same time but whenever he had a gf was always just into one.

 

Around junior year he kept bugging me by calling me all the time. I ended up talking and we talked for 6-7 hours until like 5am. I still had a crush on someone else but since he was a really nice guy I gave him a chance...and my affection grew.

 

We been together 5 years, see each other on average every 2.5 months (he lives in Los Angeles now and I live in Ohio) I hope we make it.

Well chelle21689, if both of you arr serious enough about eachother then there should be no problem with making it ^^ . And it could be worse than being without your love one for 2,5 months, but I can imagine it is still hard.

 

I'm glad to see how many of you have replied on this thread

This LDR forum is full of negative topics, so we need ones which lift the spirit

Thank you all for sharing your sweet stories ^^

I missed this thread before!

 

My SO and I met at a gig in New York and have been inseparable ever since. We both weren't looking for anything and never expected this to happen and it's truly been an amazing journey. We have it easier than alot of people so I always try to keep things in perspective. We both live in the States (me in NJ and him in GA) and don't yet have an exact date on when the distance will be resolved, but it's looking like we'll have less than another year to go.

i met him on a dating website like aerogurl...and pretty much i was on a similar position when i met him. i created my profile there a long time ago (when my last bf and i broke up) but totally forgot about it.

 

it was just a few days after my birthday...saw an email notification that someone added me on their favorite's list. got me intrigued but forgot to look at it after a few days...i was waiting for him to initiate an email at least. i looked at his profile and wow...he's so cute lol. and he sounds pretty decent and looking for a serious relationship. so, i sent him an e-mail and the rest is history!

[aerogurl87]

Creighton that's an interesting story, lol. I would've been pissed had I saw my boyfriend making out with someone else, but then again you did get another cute boy in the end. So all's well I guess.

My friend lived in Madrid for 2 years. His Spanish was pretty good but back in London he wanted to practice his Spanish. So he put an advert out on the Internet for native Spanish speakers for a language exchange - she replied and they became friends.

 

One night in March 2010, he bought her to a night out in a bar. She didnt know anyone apart from him. As soon as I saw her I know that there was something different about her. I knew we would end up together, stupid as it sounds. So, after not really talking, we went to a new bar, and I made sure I sat next to her. We talked for 3 hours and ignored everyone else (well, not ignored but you know what I mean). Ever since, we been pretty much inseperable. The next weekend we went away together.

 

The annoying thing is, he knew her for a year before he invited her out. So all the times I met up with him I didnt know about this amazing girl who would mean so much to me. I wish I had known.

 

Now, we are in love. And my friend who introduced us is due to marry his Polish fiancee in May next year and lives in Poland. It's all beacuse of him really.

My ex-girlfriend ,a couple of friends and I went out in London when they were visiting me in September.I danced with some guys,got some numbers and returning from one of the guy still memorizing the new number into my phone,I saw him smiling at me.we started dancing without saying anything.spent the whole evening together.even my friends talked to him.He told me he was from South-France and was about to move back within two weeks after having spent two years in London.So we met in the short period between me moving to London and him moving away....

anyways....I spent that night with him .We met the next evening,he spent the night at my place,and it went on like that for two-three weeks.For some reasons, I never doubted he would call or meet me again.Than he moved to my place. that way he could stay longer(after cancelling his contract.....)we lived together for a month before his new job in France started.In that time we had an unforgettable weekend at his aunts place in Paris.

it was a very intensive time where we both got an idea of how living together could be.of course him moving away was horrible as everyone here can imagine but we try to see eachother every three weeks(hope we can keep it up).I hope we will manage to overcome the distance as I hope for each of you.

Nah. I wasn't pissed at all. I was just glad the two of us didn't get six months to a year in and then have it happen. I'm too awesome to be involved with anyone who doesn't take seriously my dedication to monogamy - a factor I hold in such high regards not only for personal connection and intimacy, but for my health and safety.

Hi, I'm new to this forum... and it's nice to read threads in a LDR category!

 

I am in a LDR with a man I met in college. We were in the same class series. He said he noticed me from the first day but I didn't notice him until the second class 5 months later. When I did, I thought he had a very interesting voice. I tried to strike a conversation with him but he gave me the cold shoulder so I decided not to bother with him.

 

A little later in the week, he began accosting me after class and talking to me so much I had to stop him so I could carry on with my day (or go to the bathroom). Thing was, I liked what he talked about, and I didn't want to carry on with my day (or go to the bathroom).

 

We ended up talking after class for hours and hours, switched to lunch on campus, then we had lunch off campus. Then for some reason we ended up in a cemetery, where we kissed. And at the beach, where we kissed. And in the forest, where we kissed (and got sap everywhere). And lots of car kissing before we HAD to depart and take care of business because finals were coming up. Because we seemed to have a huge lack of restraint when together (even though we are very controlled individuals apart), we made a pact to stay away from each other completely until finals were over (except we caved and had one lunch one day). TWO AND A HALF AGONIZING WEEKS. As a reward we went to a huge film festival and had a great time, a refreshing freedom.

 

I graduated and planned to go to another college 200 miles away. Because the relationship became so physical so fast, I asked him if he'd be comfortable with a LDR or if we should break it off. He wanted to continue something serious, and I was happy for that because I did too! We see each other maybe once a month now. I know people here go through harder things, but for some reason with this particular person it is physically painful to be away from him even for a week. It's been 7 months now since we met.

 

The worst part is when he is down because he's having some kind of trouble, and I can't be there to cheer him up or help. He calls, and I cheer him over the phone, but the distance is so apparent. I feel lonely being in a completely new place, and it sorta scares me that he is the one I think of most. I don't have a home to go back to because of family circumstances, and he has a house and wants me to move in with him if he had his way.

 

Even though the relationship got physical very quickly, it required emotional and psychological communication and trust just as quickly. But it feels like the "progression" of our relationship is stunted because we can't spend very much time together, and our schedules are both so busy we don't get to talk more than once or twice a week (again the restraint thing, we'll talk until 3 in the morning even when we need to get up early the next day).

 

I wonder if we should have broken it off. Being together is always a struggle, even when we were living nearby, why should that change even if we were near each other again or lived together? What if carrying on like this is just delaying the issues that would be more obvious if we were around each other all the time, and might break a relationship that should have ended months ago compatibility-wise? I just have to trust the gut feeling that it wouldn't... that we are good for each other. I look at him and I know I could love this person, at least.

 

Whoa this got long. Sorry... thanks for reading if you got all the way through. Great to hear other (more unique, haha) stories.

My story is far from original and I am sure its been done before.

 

I met my SO about 4 years ago when I started playing World Of Warcraft.

Now I wasn't looking for anyone but we became good friends that would spill out our guts to each other whenever we complained about our lives or stresses or who we were with at the time, playing together was always a joy too.

 

Anyway....fast forward to 2 years ago we both had breakups with who we were with RL and over the next few months we just talked more and more till it became daily, we got cams and we've been happy for 2 years now.

 

And I am quite proud to say that our relationship is extremely strong, loyal and loving...And you hear all those game drama stories but we've far surpassed that with our love for each other we have 0 issues playing online games together and with other people....Right now we're very happy and still going!

merhaba, nasılsınız:)

 

He is Turkish and we met online of course. It was some crazy chat site as it happens. I know we all hear horror stories of chat sites but sometimes I suppose chance makes someone come along that surprises you wıth just how much they can come to mean to you.

 

We actually started out as friends only and at the time I was ın another relationshıp wıth someone I thought I really lıked. Thats another story though. But my friend was always around and we would chat every day almost fındıng out we had much in common. All during times when weeks would pass by wıth no word from my ex. We talked about everything and he became one of my best friends.

 

Then, I guess somewhere along the way the friendship slowly but mutually developed ınto something more. I did break up with the ex out of faırness when I realized how I was feeling. Since then, I have started to learn his language though he knows a small amount of English and he ıs slowly teaching me. We have tenative plans to meet already hopefully next year durıng the summer.

 

Now, no one can know what the future will bring but I do know that right now I am happy knowing he does love me and rıght now things are great between us. We stıll talk on msn nearly every day and he has stayed wıth me through some hurdles ive had ın my life.

I wrote this A WHILE ago, but I think it sums up the story pretty well (:

 

It must be over 3 years ago now, 3 years since the day I mistyped my friends username, and added a complete stranger to my life. Me being so young, it is often mistaken as immature and dangerous. My entire life I had been bombarded with the statements “Always be careful of who you meet online Caity, you never know who’s on the other side.” When I had realized my own mistake, I immediately became rather nervous, but when I listened to his voice in his response to my request, something compelled me to go against my own instincts.

So the talking began. We laughed with each other and learned more about each other. To my surprise he was actually 8 months younger then me which I suppose added to my unethical comfort around him. I knew that what we had started was indeed flirting, but for some reason I didn’t mind. Then some time beyond that he invited me to a webcam session, despite the fact that I did not own one. He thought that perhaps if I saw what he looked like, I would change my opinions about him, it didn’t. What I found that day was a extremely handsome young man. Medium length dark brown hair, and the most beautiful eyes. His smile was golden and with the addition of his laugh, my ears began to melt. It was not long after that where I bought my own webcam and I found the feelings were still mutual. It comforted me that he too, was not skinny. Neither of us fat, but certainly the word chubby is best fit. So I introduced him to my mother (via webcam) and she too found him to be extremely charming. And so she promised, that if I was still dating him by the summer, we could meet.

1 year and 2 months later, it was time to meet the love of my life in person for the first time, and it absolutely, could NOT have gone any better. Every waking moment of every day I was there, we spent our time on that bed in his freezing cold room. He was always warm though, always so warm. His voice in person seemed to be even more amazing, and his laugh, it made my world turn brighter every single time I heard it. Between him constantly messing up my hair so annoy me and me finding where his only ticklish spot was, we somehow grew even more in love with each other, everything was perfect.

Then of course it was time to leave, and I have to this day never been in more pain. However, I still believe that the pain is worth it. I will be visiting him again this april and he will be visiting me next august. The pain is always worth it, I love you Danny <3
