I met my husband in 1968 when we were both teenagers. His two cousins and I have known each other all our lives. Mike (my husband's cousin) brought Danny to my parents home. He was AWOL from the Marines. We started seeing each other and he gave me an engagement ring for Christmas of 1968. The following year he had to leave to go back to the Marines. When he told me that he was leaving all I could do was cry. He broke my heart. A few months later he had sent me a letter telling me that the day would come when he would come back to see me. I had met my friend Diane in 69 and she had let me know that my boyfriend would never forget me. I had no idea that what she had said would end up being true.I started seeing other guys and started seeing a guy who I married. He was in the Army and we have three children together. I now live in Georgia. My sister lives in Ohio and in 1990 I had gotten a phone call from my sister letting me know that Danny had been to my mom's house asking about me. About 2 weeks later I had received a letter from Linda (another cousin of Danny's) telling me that Danny had been to her house and I was the first person that he had asked about. She had also told me that he still loves me. All I could do was sit down and cry. I was also in a very abusive marriage and wanted a divorce. When Danny found out that I was already married he almost cried. I had no idea what the future held for us. I got divorced in 98 after being married for 25 years. My ex became sick with lymphoma and died in 2001. Danny and I started writing letters and making phone calls all the time to each other. I lost my home to a foreclosure and had to move into an apartment. My son was living with me and helping me since I was not working. I had no phone after I moved so Danny and I would send letters and I would walk to the pay phone and make collect calls to him. He had asked me why didn't we get married all those years ago. If we had it would never have worked out. We were too young and did not get along too well. He had also said that he wanted to marry me. We had not seen each other for 34 years so how did he even know what I looked like. He decided to drive to Georgia in 2003 just to see me. He drove here in May 2003. If he hadn't told me what he looks like I would never have known him. He is now 6' and had long blonde hair. Being in the Marines when we first met he had very short hair. We gave each other a hug and then he gave me a nice compliment. He had said that the years had been good to me. I had been through alot. I had been in an abusive marriage and I had raised my 3 children on my own. Danny and I went to Ohio and we were married in June 2003. We are now living in Georgia. He had lived a different life than I did. He had been pretty wild when he was younger and had been on drugs real bad. He came to Ohio to see his mother and to get off of drugs. He is alot different than he use to be. I was also his first love.

My husband and I met online.Alot of weird signs happened my friends and I were sitting around talking and laughing and they had these weird chenille blankets and my friend tonya said i don't know where that blue one came from but i bought the burgundy one,we got to noticing on the blankets the fringe at the bottom of the blankets were tangled together but it looked like someone had done it that way because it was an intrecate pattern not just tangled,and what was really odd was it was one end only on each blanket.Well we laughed and though that was really odd.Then I started talking online with this guy and after a while we decided to meet and he cooked for me at his house the first night we met.We sat at the table and ate and drank some wine and talked well when we finished we went to sit on the couch and right there was a chenille blanket with the same intrecate pattern on one end of the blanket exactly the same pattern and there is no way the washing machine did it because none of the blankets had on both ends and that was my sign from god that he was the one,plus he had a daughter from a previous marriage and i have a daugter from a previous marriage both named zoey one is spelled zoee and mine is spelled zoey.That was very much of a conincedence.There were more signs along the way but those two were the most noticable.We have been married for a year and very much in love and have a baby girl of our own her name is abella she is a doll.

It wasn't unusual in those days to accept a lift in a car from a stranger. (wouldn't dream of doing it now!). I was walking home from the cinema. two men drew up & offered a lift which I accepted. I fancied the other one, but it was the nerdy-looking one that rang me & we met again. Shortly after, I was in bed with chicken-pox & infectious. He came round every day and whistled a Puccinio aria outside the window & dropped in love notes.
That was 54 years ago and we're just going to see our twelfth grandchild & his brother , respectively,9 months and 3rd birthday. The 3 year old nearly died from meningitis when he was 1 week old. What is special is that we stayed together even when the going got very rough indeed. Happy Valentine's day everyone- be a loving, giving person and love will seek you out.PS We've got 2 great-grand-daughters too. Both sweety-pies of course!

I met my current partner in a Chinese takeaway; he was a customer and I was doing delivery work for the takeaway - on of those "between jobs" jobs! The sort of place where you walk in to ask if they are hiring , and they tell you
"you've got the job".
He had moved back into his mum's house after a messy divorce.
I was a mum of five; the youngest only two; my husband had absconded.
We got talking because he made some smart remark on the lines of "what's a little woman like you doing in a job like this?"
Little? I'm a size 16!!
Anyway, I smartly replied that I was a black belt in Taekwondo, and could look after myself.
It turned out HE was a black belt in Taekwondo; and that we knew some of the same people.
It went on like this for several weeks - he'd ask me where my local was; I'd say I never went anywhere;
In the end , I just said one evening
"OK Jim, when are you going to ask me out?"
So he did. There and then.
And that was ten years ago!
It eventually turned out that we'd met before at a friend's party many years ago; he'd workeed with this girl who was, and still is, a friend of mine.

To cut a long story short. I met my husband at his mother's funeral. Two months later we got married. We've been married for 8 years and still going strong. The love is still there and the respect is still there. His height was the first thing that attracted me to him. He's 6'5 and that he was always a gentleman. Never forced himself on me. He had that confidence in himself. He makes me laugh and for some reason he is the only person that can drive me crazy. He's not perfect after all. Hope he does not read this. That chip on his shoulder would just about topple him over. LOL.

we met when i was 16, he was 22. we went our seperate ways until 4 years later, he found out my partner at the time was very violent. he got back in touch with me and convinced me to leave. he then took on me and my young son (from the abusive partner), we now have a baby son and are planning to get married soon. last yr i sent him a valentines card saying thank you 4 rescuing me.
what makes it special is that he said i'd always be special to him all those years ago and then he rescued me from the worst experience of my life. he's been like a rock to me and i dont know what i'd have done without him.

I met Nicholas on July 20th, 2004. It was like love at first sight. I was 15 at the time. My mom had dropped me off at the mall, because I was in trouble. She said, as punishment, I had to walk home. It was almost 95 degrees. I saw a friend from Spanish class, there, named Josh. He was with a really cute boy. I said I had to go to the restroom, and excused myself. Nick came with me, saying he would escort me. He grabbed my hand and we literally ran to the bathroom.
When I came out, he wasked what I was doing there, and I told him I was abotu to walk home. He offered to walk me home (something Josh probably wasn't thrilled about). So, they did. It is a 35 minute walk. When we got to my house I thanked them, and he asked for my AIM.
That night, he IMed me. Then we got each other's numbers, then we talked for hours. The next day he showed up at my house and asked me out.
We've since been together for two years, six months, and six days. He's perfect and wonderful and we see each other LITERALLY every day. We'll be attending the same college this summer. And we hope to marry in the summer of 2008.
We're so special because we love each other. It's amazing. We know when to do homework, when to have dinner, when to make love. We always want the same things. We're BOTH in the mood for pizza, we BOTH want to see this movie. Don't get me wrong.. We argue, but we both know it's stupid to argue for long.
It's special because we are in love, and we don't take it for granted.

I met my boyfriend (fiance really we have agreed that we are going to get married one day, and that he is going to ask me properly when it felt right) on the lnternet a little over a year ago. Actually we met through Yahoo Personals, so for those of you sinics out there who don't believe you can far in love over the internet this one's for you.
We started talking about anything, and we got onto the topic of loosing someone close to you, as it turned out we have both lost someone very very close to us. He was the first guy i'd spoken to on the internet who i felt actually understood how i was feeling.
We just kept talking daily, and the day after Valentines day last year he came up to see me. As it turns out he lives near York and I am at University in Middlesbrough so it was a fair trip for him to make considering neither of us knew how things were going to turn out.
A year down the line we are still together. Because of the distance and him working full time and me being at uni and working part time we do't get to be together very often, so we are still learning things about each other. But we are totally comfortable togther and couldn't be happier.
Once i finish University in June we are planning on me moving down to live with him and his parents. I know it's not the best of solutions but we won't be able to afford to get a place of our own near his business straight away. But i am totally at home with his family, so i think that it will be fine for the short term. As long as it doesn't become a long term thing.
Well that's my love story in breif. The moral of my story is simple, never rule out anything.

Met my bf in a very chance meeting on the University campus. He had just come back to town for a visit and was biking with some dudes down a path he hadn't biked down before, and stopped in the "designated area" for a smoke. I happened to come out for a smoke way late at night.... and 2 years later we are happily living together, I have quit smoking, and he decided to stay in town rather than go back to where he was living with his buddies... :)
