It was a cool spring night and my cousin invited me to his house for a pool party. I think he had grilled hotdogs and had plenty of beer. The weather wasn’t cooperating to jump in the pool it was too cold. Then, in walks Ms. D. I immediately thought “oh cute!” My cousin introduces her and I get to talking to her. So I am feeling some chemistry with this girl. I mean I…
Mr CL and I met when we were 14. We went to different schools in the same town in South-West England and were both pretty geeky. We were invited by the schools board to a week-long gifted and talented camp for advanced mathematics. Yup, that's right - we met at maths camp. Me and Mr CL aged 17We quickly became best friends and would meet up as often as we possibly could. I met his…
My first sighting of Mr square jaw was as i was leaving gym one late afternoon, i was freshly out of highschool and still learning to find control over my hormones. As i left the entrance and looked across the parking lot i saw this totally HOT guy walking towards the entrance, he was chatting to one of his friends that i recognised as my best friends BF. I was enthralled to know i would…
To start with our story is to start a different story. Previous to being happy, I was in a four-year relationship that went nowhere. I was best friends with my ex all through high school (yes, we even dated once at the beginning of high school, and broke up to become best friends) and we ended up going to the same college, strangely enough. I started dating my ex within the first month of arriving…
He swears that he remembers seeing me out several times before speaking to me.. We shared a similiar circle of friends in the talent industry so he always saw me but never had a reason to really speak. One evening on my way home from shooting a wedding I almost ran over him in my car.. after braking, hollering out the window after recognizing him we said our hellos. He had just finished up a…
Yes, this is the last phrase I left the Scottish with that fateful night when we first met. I gave him my number and said, “I don’t call boys, boys call me.” I later found out that was a very rude thing to say and my friends and the Scottish thought I was being snotty. What I meant was, “I’m too nervous to call you so would you please call me, like, be old-fashioned about…
Before I met my fiance, I was living in New Orleans, where I was born and raised. Some of my family and a majority of my friends were there. I had evacuated for Katrina with some of them when I was 16. At the time we met, January 27, 2008, I had dropped out of college and a REALLY bad relationship the month previous, was looking for a job and, and the Saturday before Mardi…
I met FI on plentyoffish. I'd been single for 7 months, and I was lonely. I made a plentyoffish account (actually, that's a LIE- I didn't even make one, I used a friends and just deleted her picture) and started "fishing."There's a lot of freaks on the internet. That was my experience with POF. I didn't message a SINGLE person. And then I saw his profile. It was nerdy, intelligent, and he was attractive. I…
I met the love of my life on the first day of senior year in high school. He was the new kid in town and I had been there for far too long. We had college algebra together. I walked in.. walked over and said "Hi I'm Amanda, you must be new." and shook his hand.. for a couple of weeks we would talk outside of school, but in school we never really acted like…
I have a confession to make: I don’t actually remember meeting him. My memory works in strange ways. There are chunks of my life from which I have very few concrete memories, but there are moments I remember with absolute clarity. The place, the smells, the music - I can pull it all back into my mind and re-live it any time I want. Maybe it works this way for everyone. All I know…
