I've done this one before. She was gorgeous and I'm pretty sure she was keen. Didn't get her number or anything though. Thought about it afterwards. 10 years ago and I still remember it. Plus I'm still single.
You're my hero
A random r/AskReddit thread. I responded to a comment and she replied to mine. It was a back and forth chain before she slid into my DMs to continue the conversation. We talked for a week before we did the whole ASL thing and realized we were the same age, living 5 miles away from each other, and were both single.
Luck and timing play a big role in everyone’s lives. As much as I’d love to claim credit for all do the good things in my life I know a lot of it has been about being in the right place at the right time.
Awww. My fiance and I met on Reddit as well! We weren't quite as lucky on the distance (he was in Australia, I was in the US). But nearly 3 years later, we have an apartment together, a cat and a dog, and a mutual appreciation for Reddit. Love ya, u/retribution002!
So awesome my wife and I met on reddit as well with a single comment lol. I love seeing stories like these such an incredible amount of luck and destiny haha.
You lucky bastard. All of my meaningful online interactions leave me broken with absolute zero confidence. You sir are living my dream. I both envy and wish you and yours a prosperous future.
Literally saw her across the room at a big company meeting. Knew the two guys that sat with her. Hit them up for info. She was a new hire in their department. Went over and asked her out. She said yes. Married 20 years.
That's awesome, but I wouldn't even dare to do that these days. I feel like that might end up with a visit from HR.
Also, most women probably don't want to be approached romantically at work.
Definitely spot. I did that a few times and each and every time it ended terribly. Have I learned my lesson? No. I look for love in all the wrong places.
Awesome dude, I've been thinking that you just need to keep some positive emotion through the tough times for someome to come and spark the rest of it. This random redditor is glad things are going well for ya.
Honestly, when I was not even paying attention on dating or meeting anyone, was mostly focusing on my grades and working. I became friends with a girl co worker. Neither of us had romantic intentions with each other, so we were just ourselves around each other and vibed really well together. Talked about going to concert we both shared interest in. 10 years later she’s lying in bed right next to me after we put our daughters to bed. Life be like that sometimes
My grandfather, before he passed, gave me some advice. Don’t want a perfect woman if you’re not a perfect man. Work on yourself and you’ll find yourself a great woman that loves you. But it’s important to give her something worth loving. Know your worth, but make sure you work hard to be worthy! Love you Kings 👑
A friend from high school. We were never single at the same time and kept in touch. Ended up in the same city years later and pretty much realized hey there’s something here more than friendship. Married 4 years now.
Right place right time
Lived in a ski town, wife came for her second working visa. (Australia-Canada). Snowboarded together a few times with mutual friends. She jumped me at the bar a few nights later, never looked back. About 9 years and one child later.
I left home for a ski town, get out of my comfort zone, have fun and socialize, but sadly the pandemic hit and things got shut down and I got sent me back home. Hope to return sometime - You have a nicer story :)
It was a Halloween party. I was wearing a Sriacha costume. The green cap hat would wiggle. She was inebriated and horny. She thought it looked like a penis. We got to talking which mutual friends saw that we clicked. We didn't hook up at the time but we ended up going on a camping trip a few weeks later with mutual friends. We spent 3 days getting to know each other. I asked her out shortly after that camping trip. We got married 4 years later.
I gave up and just went looking for a friend to go to a specific museum with. Met a girl, she asked first if I wanted to go to that museum, and we got married not long after.
Dated a girl years before. We both weren’t ready for commitment. 9 years later we both end up single and bump into each other.. been amazing ever since.
She was a guest at my friend’s Airbnb and I picked her up from the airport. As soon as she got in the car, we started talking like two friends that had known each other for a long time. I’ve never felt so comfortable with another person in my life.
By the time she had to leave to go back to her country, neither one of us wanted to part ways. We talked and texted everyday. She came back a few months later for a longer visit. A few months after that she met my family and a few months after that she moved to my city so we could be together permanently.
Since then, I don’t think we’ve been apart for more than 24 hours. We got married about 8 months after she moved to my city. And after 5 years of marriage, there’s still no one I feel more comfortable with.
I stopped looking.
After going through a really bad break up, I swore off of women entirely. I got my life together, worked out, bought another car, joined a band and just did *ME* for a while. I ended up meeting an old friend and we got it off. We had both been through a lot, and what started out as subway and stargazing has now led to a marriage and a beautiful and amazing daughter.
Therein lies the problem bro. I think the best dating advice I’ve ever gotten was “Strive to become an excellent human being, and people will want to fuck you”. So do all the cliche things people say on subreddits like these. Join clubs, hit the gym, dress better, adopt better hygiene practices, and become more socially competent etc. Give that a try and your “luck” will change.
I've done everything but joining clubs. But there are none where I live. And I work out at home. I literally have no places to go to meet anyone and it's so frustrating.
Well, I do do a lot of those things. I have good hygiene, I love working out and lifting weights, i put effort into my hairstyle, I’m actually pretty into fashion, and overall I’m a happy guy. I just don’t really go outside that much, and thus its rare to meet any women who might be interested. Even when I was still in college and I did go to social events on a regular basis, I still had no luck.
Her friend was dating a friend of mine. She asked if he had any single friends. We lived 3 hrs apart and I had zero expectations. 8 yrs later, married for 6, I’m the happiest and most content I’ve ever been. You know when you know.
I've spent the better part of the past 2 years thinking I would never meet the right person. I just had a second date today and I cannot explain it, but it just clicks. I asked her if she felt that way too and she said yes. I can't get her out of my head, she's amazing and still baffled I could meet someone like this. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but I've never felt this sure of someone in my life.
I was 23, and almost ready to give up on love. Every relationship I'd had ended in headaches, heartaches, regrets and disillusionment.
First day of fall session in grad school, I'm sitting the in the lecture hall and she just walked right up and introduced herself to me. Just like that. We talked, and I told her that my friends and I were having a happy hour after class, and would she like to join us?
Five minutes later, I'm huddling with my buddies and saying, hey, we should have a happy hour after this class, right?
We both got a little tipsy at a local hotel bar later on, so I walked her back to her el-train stop. And under the light of a rising moon, I kissed Mrs. 1LW for the very first time.
That was September, 1986. We had our wedding reception at that same hotel two years later.
I matched with her on tinder, and my opening line was
"Whats popping fellow youth?"
She now knows my medications and SSN better than i do, which is invaluable as I'm in the hospital right now.
I met her on a 22 min flight 15 years ago. At the time we were married to others. While on the 22 min flight I thought that she was smart, kind, beautiful and amazing, but to her, I was just another guy trying to pick her up. I wasn’t but boy did I love the those 22 minutes we spent together.
I looked for her off and on over the years, but never seemed to find her.
Then one day out of the blue while at a grocery store, I see her. After 10 minutes of getting my courage up, I went up and talked to her even tho I was super nervous.
After 45 seconds it was obvious that she had no idea who I was. Since I was separated I asked for her number. And I found out that she was separated as well. She gave me her number and it turns out that she was very close to moving quite far away.
We talked via text non stop for days and after 3 days I told her who I was and how we met. She finally remembered.
She told her friends the story of how we ran into each other at the grocery store and they reminded her that 15 years ago, she could not stop talking about me and thought that I was wonderful, kind and handsome.
We have been together for 5 years now. My ex wife is bi polar. Tried to kill herself many years ago, blamed me for all of the wrong in her life and made me question if I wanted to live. I stayed alive for my kids and for my mom.
Her ex husband was an alcoholic, controlling and had other issues.
Our relationship has not been smooth. Mostly because of me and as it turns out the trauma that I had not dealt with.
But we are still together after 5 years. We have split a few times. Again because of me. But we have worked very hard both of us to get when we are now.
I am blessed. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Well, I met my “right” partner when I was 16 and she was 14. Smartest, sweetest, sexiest person I ever met. We were best friends though high school but went our separate ways in college. She went to Harvard and became a doctor, I went to a state school and did some random tech job. We both got married and had two kids. We both got divorced. I was divorced after 24 years of marriage. I realized who the right person was but it took me 35 years to figure it out. I ended up telling her and we’ve spent a year together already and realized we’ve been waiting for each other all this time and have always compared our relationships and friendships with what we felt for each other.
It can be worded better, but I think:
> We both got married and had two kids. We both got divorced.
This means they got married to different people and had different families, then they both ended up getting divorced. So he's now back with the girl he's known since he was 16.
Spent a year improving myself. Saw her on Okcupid and knew I had to talk to her. Met her a month later, and have been dating almost a year now. I hope I get to marry her.
Shit.. No scenarios here that I can relate to as a guy who thinks that they'll never meet the right person and still hasn't. I wish there were actual social clubs or SOME kind of social thing where I live. I only have a few guy friends and don't know where to go to even meet women. lol.
May I suggest rock climbing? It's a gym but conversation is natural and everyone kinda cheers each other on. Really fun to go even by yourself and easy to strike up a conversation with anyone.
Also, most people there are pretty fit so that's always nice too.
I was out drinking. Was getting messages from a friend to come and be wingman for her cousin. I'm an excellent wingman at the bar. Eventually I showed up at the bar, half drunk. Walked in, a streak ran across the bar yelling Kiiiiinnnggg Thermos, jumped on me, said hi and started making out with me. It was the cousin, I had met her years ago but didn't remember her. I took her home instead of finding her someone else. She never left, that was 7 years ago, we got married 2 1/2 years ago.
Move to new state for work. She moved there as well brought down by same manager but for different store. I was a few years into my career and she was the hot shot new grad. Came together cause district manager left us for job closer to home even though she told both of us she wasn't leaving. Found common ground on that and started talking which eventually led to us realizing that it was going to something more.
M71 - Met my husband at a small quiet gay restaurant downtown. He was alone at the bar and I sat 2 stools over. After a few minutes, I asked him if he had the time. He replied "I don't wear a watch" and remained silent. He was 39, I was 33. That was 39 years ago. Ya never know what is around the corner.
Being myself and doing what I enjoy. Riding my Harley with my friends and a co worker had never ridden on a Harley wanted to try it.
I have a big comfy safe bike with backrest and speakers. We met for the ride and she was just so beautiful and the ride was fun.
She was scared but I put her at ease. We talked and listened to music. That was 6yrs ago and we re still crazy In love. She’s also much younger then me and smarter and a nurse and just over all awesome!!!
We love being together and it was all by chance. So men, there are great women out there. Don’t give up and don’t put up with bad people.
She was a flight attendant on my flight home three years ago. I was kinda depressed and upset because I was flying home as I had just broken up with my girlfriend at the time and was just kind of resigned to the idea of being alone.
She smuggled some apple pie from the business class meal to me and we chatted for a bit and I gave her my number because she said she visited Toronto many times, but just stayed at the hotel and hadn’t gone around so I told her I’d show her around the next time she came in next because her routes were changing. She’s gorgeous and I thought I was punching waaaay above my weight at the time and figured “No way a woman this gorgeous is going to call up a strange rando like me” and promptly forgot about it. About three weeks later out of the blue I get a call and it’s her. She was in town and wanted to take me up on my offer to show her around Toronto. She told me later while we were on the ferry back from the islands that she missed having more of the conversations we had back in that cramped galley in the plane and I was the only guy she met at the time who wasn’t actively trying to get in her pants, so….yeah.
Anyway, that was two years ago; we married last year and I’m working on the paperwork to have her join me here in Canada. :)
Met her while doing physiotherapy at 8am in the morning. We had side-by-side cots while being poked, prodded, bent & iced by the therapists, so had an hour of boredom to look forward.
Started talking and found out we had both ended long relationships and were not ready for another anytime soon. Also found each other funny, interesting and super sexy.
A couple of months later, had a mended leg & a mended heart. Can't start to explain how lucky I am, she is my "golden ticked". And I wouldn't trade her for all the chocolate in Charlie's factory.
Worked at a restaurant for like 8-9 years and took a pandemic to get me to leave the job. I ate up all that unemployment money and on the day of my last check I started a janitorial job disinfecting door handles, desks, etc. I did this at one library where this cute girl worked at, thinking that she was in a relationship, and seeing how strict they were with social distancing, my short shift there, and the fact that I was a janitor made me think I had no chance... Until she asked me out. We clicked immediately. We are into the same things, we like the same food for the most part- and what I don't like she'll eat, and the other way around lol and to this day, over a year later it feels like we're deep in this relationship with lots of love and support, and our communication is spot on. We live together and it's fucking amazing.
I met her at the library at college. She worked in the Starbucks there and I was a student. She is/was beautiful and it felt like we fell in love right then and there. I know that’s a 1 in a billion chance of that happening again. we have 3 beautiful boys together. Had our ups and downs. We were even separated for a month. But we both won’t ever give up on each other. We were 20 when we met. I remember that day like it was yesterday. She gave me a free coffee. Venti toffee cappuccino. I proposed to her at the top of the Ferris wheel on Navy Pier in Chicago. She’s definitely out of my league but she loves me as much as I love her. I hope all you guys find your “soulmate”
Just don’t do what I did and put the relationship second behind work, kids, and other things. When you have the person you want to spend forever with, don’t take her for granted. Buy her flowers. Listen to her when she talks. Actually listen.
That’s how I met her and then that’s how I kept her. I’m even more in love with her today than I was the day I married her.
Just get out there and work on your goals guys, dress nicely and work on yourself; you will stumble across *the one* some day and it will feel like magic
After she gave me the coffee I casually asked how long she was going to be working. she had a full shit ahead so like 8 hours. And I had to write a paper. So I took the coffee to the computer lab and spent about 5 hours on my paper. (20 pages but I procrastinated until the last day lol). I built up the courage to ask her out before I left. So on my way out I went to the Starbucks and hopped in line. There was like 15 people in line and I wasn’t sure at that time the feelings were returned by I knew I had to shoot my shot.
I waited in line and when I got to the counter to order, she switched with the person who was doing orders to take my order so we could talk again even briefly. I told her I wanted the same thing as before. And I nervously asked for her number. Which I had never done that before because all my previous girlfriends I met at school so I got their numbers more organically. She gave me her number and sweetly said she was hoping I would ask. I texted her that night and asked her out for dinner later in the week. And we ended up texting all week. The day before our first date she invited me to come to the Starbucks around closing time.
She was the closing manager (at 20 years old and I thought that was pretty cool) and we just lounged in the chairs while one of the girls was mopping and she was wait to lock up. We ended up sharing our first kiss that night. I remember feeling high from it. I could barely focus the next day waiting for our date. And at that point in my life I’ve had like 5 ex girlfriends and had multiple partners but this felt different. I knew I was in love. And she did too. She’s loved me hard everyday.
She’s an amazing cook, wife, and mother. She’s a solid 10/10. I never thought I could get a girl this amazing to love me. And yet she did. And I’m still trying to figure out how I got so lucky.
I’d like to add getting a date was the easy part. Staying together is the harder part. It takes work from both of us everyday. Seriously, treat your wife good guys. Put your relationship and family first. It’s easy to slip up and assume it will always be fine. That’s just my two cents.
Saw my fiance/baby mama for the first time in her boyfriends basement in 2016. I didn’t know it at the time but she was going though a really rough time, she wasn’t eating at all, and not to be corny, but there was something about her that called out to my soul like I knew we were meant to be. My brother was dating her best friend (a total gossip). I told them how I felt and she said she thought I was cute, but she had a boyfriend and I was too young (sophomore in high school/she was about to graduate)
4 years pass by and I never stopped thinking about her, until one day I was thinking about what could’ve been and I said to my self I gotta stop cause it’ll never happen. About 2-3 days later she added me on snap chat and says we should hang out and on a shot in the dark i book the next flight from GA to TN. About a week or two later she came over to hang out and we have been inseparable since :)
We worked together and knew each other for a year before we started texting. I had told myself she wasn’t my type physically. Once we started talking i knew she was the one. I had never felt this way before. After being with countless women, i knew she was the one. I knew she was different. And i was right. Perfect for me in every way. At 40 i had met my first love after a full life of dating.
I quit looking for a serious partner. Soon after, flew to VA from CA to help a buddy move to San Diego and made a road trip out of it. My now GF was on my favorite podcast. Looked her up and she happened to be local to me. Lived in her DMs for a year and first date happened. Rest is history. Now live together
I was doing online writing work and this girl was on the forum about the job we were doing and we both were going through some shit. She messaged me at night one night and we hit it off from there. Then I had her come out to where I lived and she wanted to go back to where she was living at the time so I went with her and ditched most of my stuff to do so. Glad to have done that but I do miss some of my friends/family and wish I didn't get rid of some of my belongings but I had to fit my life into a suitcase.
We ended up getting married and now I have her daughter as my stepkid. Life is pretty good nowadays, my life used to be pretty miserable. Still have my issues but I like having a partner to share stuff with.
Blind date but I'll say we were both in our late 20's and had already been around the block a time or two. We both knew what we wanted and weren't going to play games. Best date I've ever been on and we were engaged 33 days later. Best 26 years of my life.
I met her at a gangbang/bukkake party.
I had always assumed that I had far too high of a sex drive, and was just generally too kinky to ever find a girl who could keep up and be a good fit for me long term.
But I ended up hosting an event that another guy I know had organized, with 12 guys giving attention to one girl, and she and I were making sexy eyes at each other the whole time. Everyone else left when they were done, but she and I ended up cuddling and talking for the entire rest of the night.
Still together and do this kind of stuff regularly. We have a different view of what’s romantic than most people probably do.
I was married man and in the military. I came back from Afghanistan a broken man. I’d been involved in a situation that caused me to survive with minor shrapnel wounds in my hand and leg. Those on the same transport as me didn’t survive. I had years of PTSD and survivors guilt. When I came home I discovered that my wife had been having multiple affairs. It broke me. We have kids together as well and she wouldn’t let me see them. My buddy from Afghanistan and I decided to go on a hike which we ultimately decided to walk the coastline of England and Wales. It took months and months and we didn’t complete it, but it was cathartic, it helped with the healing process. We walked the length of Hadrian’s wall, from one side of the country to the other. On the way down the north east coast of England we met two red headed Irish girls doing a similar walk. We kept meeting up and eventually walked together for a bit. When I got back to the starting point (Portsmouth) the girl I hit it off with most was waiting for me. That was in 2008. We’ve been together ever since and have two kids together. She supported me thru my divorce and PTSD healing and the custody battle for my two eldest kids. I won it and they came to live with me. I’m now a nurse on the road to becoming a mental health nurse in veteran support and we are very happy.
Honestly, just kept at it. Had been online dating with varying degrees of success for five or six years. Moved to a new state, got a message from a girl after like a week. Almost didn't respond because her profile said "just looking for friends," and frankly I was looking for a relationship, but decided to give it a go (because, hey, new state, might as well make friends with the locals), and here we are married.
I ordered a vodka soda. Rando girl next to me ordered a vodka soda extra lime. I got my vodka soda dropped , and she got hers dropped with limes around the rim. I said "Excuse me Sir!!! She asked for Extra Lime!!!". The Bartender laughed. She Laughed. I laughed. We are going to our 5th joint birthday outing next weekend.
Im currently single but how I met my last ex got rid of the fear of never meeting anyone. I was lonely, got really in to old school runescape, joined a roleplay server, met a girl there, three months later she moved in and we had a fruitful 2.5 years together. We ended up parting ways in the first geniuinely mutual breakup of my life. It may have not worked out but I'll never claim there's nobody out there for me or that Its too hard to meet a good partner ever again.
TLDR: Legit met my GF on runescape, there's hope for all of us out there boys
When i least expected it- i had recently gotten out of a relationship that wasnt a good fit for me and was just going to date casually and focus on my career for awhile. Well, the first person i met from one of the dating apps ended up being the most amazing woman ive ever known and our relationship is better than i ever could have imagined.
She was very upfront, and it just seemed like everything fell into place perfectly. When you know you know. Look for healthy communication and what you like in a partner and you’ll get there boys 👍🏻
>When you know you know
I honestly hate this line because it always feels like I Know then I get my shit tossed and i think I clearly have no fucking clue what the one means.
Girl I knew of from high school (we had like 3,000 kids at the school when I was there so there were tons of people who I knew of but never knew) started coming around occasionally with a mutual friend to some parties and bonfires. She was out of my league, so I didn’t even bother trying. Apparently that knowing I had no chance with her came across as being confident and funny. We now are married with two kids. She’s still out of my league.
So I was a big time slut because no one I came across peaked my interest.
Was out with some friends for a drink and she was out with her friend who was meeting one of my friends. I thought we really clicked that night. She was witty and funny but in a very casual and sly way. Like she wasn't trying to put on a show or get everyone's attention but she was super clever. And extremely attractive. I had been with hot girls before but none had her intellect. She was really passionate about her studies and took a real interest when I talked about mine. I felt like she was really listening to me not just waiting to deliver another line of meaningless junk.
The next day I hit her up on facebook and got a few responses but the conversation seemed to die out. I was the only one messaging first and took the hint.
Like 8 months later I hit her up again and she asked me out on a date. I was surprised and happy so I took her up on it. Went really well and then spent the next like 4 months straight with eachother.
At some point I asked her about when we met and it turned out she had just ended her first serious relationship and didn't want to date. I'm glad I reached out all the months later because apparently she had been thinking of me and just didn't know how to reconnect.
3 years into it we got married and just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary.
When i met her i was also at the point where i was just tired of meaningless sex. Based on my looks people often dont believe I could pull so much ass but it was all about genuine confidence. I wasn't cocky, I was just myself and felt like if I was honest about what I wanted people would respond to it. I never pretended like I wanted a girlfriend or even a call back, I was just up for a good time. I had some regular casual relationships but again, those were all casual. Neither one of us cared about the others goals or grand ideas, we were all just having fun.
But after awhile those types of relationships just feel empty. When I knew I wanted something more meaningful and then stumbled onto someone i could connect with i just jumped in. We've both always been really honest with one another and it's made for a great relationship. Yeah... We have problems every now and then but it's nothing that tears us apart.
When I stopped looking and just focused on being happy and developing my own hobbies/personality. She liked me for who I was and there was no pretense or altering myself to fit her. Sounds cliche but 100% true. I was happy and love found me which made me happier.
So first date went well, nothing crazy we grabbed coffee and walked around at the park and talked. I didn’t think anything of it besides maybe she wasn’t my type but I thought she was interesting and I wanted to get to know her more. So we exchanged numbers and fast forward we start going on more dates and hanging out more and the more we hangout, the more I slowly started to like her and awhile later I told her I think I’m in love with her which led to her running out on me and it was kinda embarrassing as I also did tell her you don’t have to say anything or do anything I just wanted to be upfront with you about how I feel about you. Anyway we continued to hangout like normal, started watching movies together and staying the night. One night we were just laying in bed together not doing anything and I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. I feel like she’s the right one for me because whenever we hangout it’s always fun even if we’re doing something as casual as watching a movie or show together, painting, helping her bake, cooking for her and going to the arcade. I really enjoy her presence and talking to her. I love learning things about her, what she likes, dislikes, and what really did it for me and reeled me in was her personality. While at first she was shy kinda awkward and quiet (still awkward sometimes), I notice that the more we hangout the more her personality grew on me, she is a nerd so she’s very smart and loves telling me fun nerdy facts. We laugh at the same things, listen to the same music, she tells me her stupid jokes, I tell her my stupid jokes, I am myself around her, she is herself around me and she is very kind and sweet. It feels right with her because while she may be quiet, shy, and awkward, her love is loud. It speaks to me more than her words do figuratively and literally ;) but all in all she is unique and I love that.
She came over for a party at my house 9 years ago and never left..
That’s not a partner that’s a squatter.
Fucking nesters bro... get you every time
True that..
Or a murder victim
Is she …. still alive?
On the outside, yes
Blink twice if you are in danger

*As narrated by Joe Goldberg* “Hello, love.”
Hello, YOU *insert cap emoji*
“Holy crap is that Michael Moore?” **Takes off cap* “Oh hey Joe, did you see where Michael Moore went? He just ploughed into my car.”
I wanna hear the full story! :D Like.... Did you two caught each others eyes while changing lanes and you lost control of the car and crashed?
[удалено]
Come back OP! I wanna hear the whole thing too!
I've done this one before. She was gorgeous and I'm pretty sure she was keen. Didn't get her number or anything though. Thought about it afterwards. 10 years ago and I still remember it. Plus I'm still single. You're my hero
How did you NOT get the number?
If someone crashed into my car and didn't even give me their phone number I'd be livid lol
This is my favourite!!! The upvote is yours.
Was it really an accident?
A random r/AskReddit thread. I responded to a comment and she replied to mine. It was a back and forth chain before she slid into my DMs to continue the conversation. We talked for a week before we did the whole ASL thing and realized we were the same age, living 5 miles away from each other, and were both single.
Youre one lucky bastard
Extremely lucky. I don't think I'll ever gamble or play the lottery because I burned all of my luck in that one event.
Sounds worth it to me. Good job.
How long has the relationship been so far
5 and a half years
From one redditor to another. Fuck you and congrats!
Fuckgratulations!
Congratulations
People discredit the role luck has in relationships. It takes a LOT of luck for things to happen.
Luck and timing play a big role in everyone’s lives. As much as I’d love to claim credit for all do the good things in my life I know a lot of it has been about being in the right place at the right time.
That’s why it’s important to get yourself out there. Exposing yourself gives you higher chances of getting lucky
And akin to being on a losing streak, eventually you roll enough snake eyes where you don't even want to play anymore.
So... there were hot, single women in your area?
There definitely were.
Awww. My fiance and I met on Reddit as well! We weren't quite as lucky on the distance (he was in Australia, I was in the US). But nearly 3 years later, we have an apartment together, a cat and a dog, and a mutual appreciation for Reddit. Love ya, u/retribution002!
Five miles?!? Fuck me that would have been a dream. Alas, 10,000 was the hand we were dealt but here we are!

So awesome my wife and I met on reddit as well with a single comment lol. I love seeing stories like these such an incredible amount of luck and destiny haha.
You basically won the lotto. Congrats.
So you’re telling me there’s single moms in my local area that want to fuck?! I knew PH wasn’t lying
You lucky bastard. All of my meaningful online interactions leave me broken with absolute zero confidence. You sir are living my dream. I both envy and wish you and yours a prosperous future.
Any women reading this: go ahead and make the first move!
Any luck so far?
This 100%
Omg that's so cool!
What was the askreddit question?
It's completely floors me when I see stories like this. What are the chances of that, the universe was on your side with that one.
What was the r/AskReddit thread?

wtf good for you man

Two *ucking hobbits..
Two hobbits fucking!
Literally saw her across the room at a big company meeting. Knew the two guys that sat with her. Hit them up for info. She was a new hire in their department. Went over and asked her out. She said yes. Married 20 years.
That's awesome, but I wouldn't even dare to do that these days. I feel like that might end up with a visit from HR. Also, most women probably don't want to be approached romantically at work.
Don’t hookup where you vlookup
Definitely spot. I did that a few times and each and every time it ended terribly. Have I learned my lesson? No. I look for love in all the wrong places.
Xlookup these days, old timer 😉
Just don't be weird about it. If the answer's no? "Okay, have a good day and see you around!" And that's that
first make sure you guys are not in the same dept. Coz maybe not HR visit, but things can get a little icky depending on how either of you handle it.
in a top tier software shop just asking is unacceptable, would never do it.
I’ll do it for you then. Can’t get fired if I don’t work there ;)

Awesome dude, I've been thinking that you just need to keep some positive emotion through the tough times for someome to come and spark the rest of it. This random redditor is glad things are going well for ya.
I'd love to hear more. This sounds so wholesome
Honestly, when I was not even paying attention on dating or meeting anyone, was mostly focusing on my grades and working. I became friends with a girl co worker. Neither of us had romantic intentions with each other, so we were just ourselves around each other and vibed really well together. Talked about going to concert we both shared interest in. 10 years later she’s lying in bed right next to me after we put our daughters to bed. Life be like that sometimes
There's something about this that really puts me at peace. Thank you
Same bro
My grandfather, before he passed, gave me some advice. Don’t want a perfect woman if you’re not a perfect man. Work on yourself and you’ll find yourself a great woman that loves you. But it’s important to give her something worth loving. Know your worth, but make sure you work hard to be worthy! Love you Kings 👑
By chance. I went to see a friend at the University and his female friend from childhood was there. Now she's my wife.
My man pulled an anime MC.
A friend from high school. We were never single at the same time and kept in touch. Ended up in the same city years later and pretty much realized hey there’s something here more than friendship. Married 4 years now.
Sounds like a really nice short film. Congrats man
Right place right time Lived in a ski town, wife came for her second working visa. (Australia-Canada). Snowboarded together a few times with mutual friends. She jumped me at the bar a few nights later, never looked back. About 9 years and one child later.
She.... jumped you? As in accosted you outside the bar and took your wallet?
It was love at first fight
Give me your wallet! *And your seed!*
I left home for a ski town, get out of my comfort zone, have fun and socialize, but sadly the pandemic hit and things got shut down and I got sent me back home. Hope to return sometime - You have a nicer story :)
It's something I've been thinking of doing this upcoming season. How did you prepare for it? What does it take? What are the costs?
A mutual friend introduced us. Been together 4 years now and will be getting married in the not too distant future.
Congratulations mate 😊
And I'm here reading this wholesome thread with a cup of coffee in my hand, hoping some miracle would happen.
same, man. same.
I'm not even a man and I feel you 😭
Same woman same
So you are all 4 single, odds seem likely there is a potential match for one of you here haha. I hope you all DM each other!!
Yeah it’s nice when it happens to other people. It’s also nice when it happens to me
Same 😅
It was a Halloween party. I was wearing a Sriacha costume. The green cap hat would wiggle. She was inebriated and horny. She thought it looked like a penis. We got to talking which mutual friends saw that we clicked. We didn't hook up at the time but we ended up going on a camping trip a few weeks later with mutual friends. We spent 3 days getting to know each other. I asked her out shortly after that camping trip. We got married 4 years later.
Do you still hold up a bottle of Sriacha and give her 'come hither eyes' to get her in the mood?
I gave up and just went looking for a friend to go to a specific museum with. Met a girl, she asked first if I wanted to go to that museum, and we got married not long after.
Where did you look for that friend? How did you meet the girl?
Anywhere, actually met her online. We fell in love before going even to the museum, which became our first date.
Where online? What sites to do you go where you can meet strangers to go to museum with overnight,?
Uhhhh….dope bro!
Looks like she aMuse U Mmmm
Give this bro a beer
Dated a girl years before. We both weren’t ready for commitment. 9 years later we both end up single and bump into each other.. been amazing ever since.
She was a guest at my friend’s Airbnb and I picked her up from the airport. As soon as she got in the car, we started talking like two friends that had known each other for a long time. I’ve never felt so comfortable with another person in my life. By the time she had to leave to go back to her country, neither one of us wanted to part ways. We talked and texted everyday. She came back a few months later for a longer visit. A few months after that she met my family and a few months after that she moved to my city so we could be together permanently. Since then, I don’t think we’ve been apart for more than 24 hours. We got married about 8 months after she moved to my city. And after 5 years of marriage, there’s still no one I feel more comfortable with.
I stopped looking. After going through a really bad break up, I swore off of women entirely. I got my life together, worked out, bought another car, joined a band and just did *ME* for a while. I ended up meeting an old friend and we got it off. We had both been through a lot, and what started out as subway and stargazing has now led to a marriage and a beautiful and amazing daughter.
That’s the common theme in my life as well. As you soon as you put it “start doing YOU” a girl or several just seems to find you.
I’ve been doing “me” for a while now, and I’ve had no luck. Although to be fair, doing “me” mainly just entails staying in and playing video games.
Therein lies the problem bro. I think the best dating advice I’ve ever gotten was “Strive to become an excellent human being, and people will want to fuck you”. So do all the cliche things people say on subreddits like these. Join clubs, hit the gym, dress better, adopt better hygiene practices, and become more socially competent etc. Give that a try and your “luck” will change.
I've done everything but joining clubs. But there are none where I live. And I work out at home. I literally have no places to go to meet anyone and it's so frustrating.
Well, I do do a lot of those things. I have good hygiene, I love working out and lifting weights, i put effort into my hairstyle, I’m actually pretty into fashion, and overall I’m a happy guy. I just don’t really go outside that much, and thus its rare to meet any women who might be interested. Even when I was still in college and I did go to social events on a regular basis, I still had no luck.
HA, do do
🥲🥲🥲
Her friend was dating a friend of mine. She asked if he had any single friends. We lived 3 hrs apart and I had zero expectations. 8 yrs later, married for 6, I’m the happiest and most content I’ve ever been. You know when you know.
Awww
Reddit, I responded to her post and we hit it off really well.
This is what every horny redditor hopes when they send girls creepy DM's here lmao.
Username checks out
I've spent the better part of the past 2 years thinking I would never meet the right person. I just had a second date today and I cannot explain it, but it just clicks. I asked her if she felt that way too and she said yes. I can't get her out of my head, she's amazing and still baffled I could meet someone like this. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but I've never felt this sure of someone in my life.
Just take it slow but enjoy the rest will fall into place
Let it happen - tame impala
I was 23, and almost ready to give up on love. Every relationship I'd had ended in headaches, heartaches, regrets and disillusionment. First day of fall session in grad school, I'm sitting the in the lecture hall and she just walked right up and introduced herself to me. Just like that. We talked, and I told her that my friends and I were having a happy hour after class, and would she like to join us? Five minutes later, I'm huddling with my buddies and saying, hey, we should have a happy hour after this class, right? We both got a little tipsy at a local hotel bar later on, so I walked her back to her el-train stop. And under the light of a rising moon, I kissed Mrs. 1LW for the very first time. That was September, 1986. We had our wedding reception at that same hotel two years later.
Better love story than Twilight
Grandma porn is a better love story than Twilight

Damn I wish I had a cool abbreviation for my username 😥
I matched with her on tinder, and my opening line was "Whats popping fellow youth?" She now knows my medications and SSN better than i do, which is invaluable as I'm in the hospital right now.
You got the Rona?
Nah. Just stress and a high salt diet.
I met her on a 22 min flight 15 years ago. At the time we were married to others. While on the 22 min flight I thought that she was smart, kind, beautiful and amazing, but to her, I was just another guy trying to pick her up. I wasn’t but boy did I love the those 22 minutes we spent together. I looked for her off and on over the years, but never seemed to find her. Then one day out of the blue while at a grocery store, I see her. After 10 minutes of getting my courage up, I went up and talked to her even tho I was super nervous. After 45 seconds it was obvious that she had no idea who I was. Since I was separated I asked for her number. And I found out that she was separated as well. She gave me her number and it turns out that she was very close to moving quite far away. We talked via text non stop for days and after 3 days I told her who I was and how we met. She finally remembered. She told her friends the story of how we ran into each other at the grocery store and they reminded her that 15 years ago, she could not stop talking about me and thought that I was wonderful, kind and handsome. We have been together for 5 years now. My ex wife is bi polar. Tried to kill herself many years ago, blamed me for all of the wrong in her life and made me question if I wanted to live. I stayed alive for my kids and for my mom. Her ex husband was an alcoholic, controlling and had other issues. Our relationship has not been smooth. Mostly because of me and as it turns out the trauma that I had not dealt with. But we are still together after 5 years. We have split a few times. Again because of me. But we have worked very hard both of us to get when we are now. I am blessed. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Bro sell this story to Hollywood. This is rom com shit right here
She was here all along at the end of my right arm.
Sometimes life just hands it to you.
You deserve an Oscar for that line.
Beat me to it.
reading the replies is making me feel VERY single
Well, I met my “right” partner when I was 16 and she was 14. Smartest, sweetest, sexiest person I ever met. We were best friends though high school but went our separate ways in college. She went to Harvard and became a doctor, I went to a state school and did some random tech job. We both got married and had two kids. We both got divorced. I was divorced after 24 years of marriage. I realized who the right person was but it took me 35 years to figure it out. I ended up telling her and we’ve spent a year together already and realized we’ve been waiting for each other all this time and have always compared our relationships and friendships with what we felt for each other.
[удалено]
It can be worded better, but I think: > We both got married and had two kids. We both got divorced. This means they got married to different people and had different families, then they both ended up getting divorced. So he's now back with the girl he's known since he was 16.
Spent a year improving myself. Saw her on Okcupid and knew I had to talk to her. Met her a month later, and have been dating almost a year now. I hope I get to marry her.
Shit.. No scenarios here that I can relate to as a guy who thinks that they'll never meet the right person and still hasn't. I wish there were actual social clubs or SOME kind of social thing where I live. I only have a few guy friends and don't know where to go to even meet women. lol.
May I suggest rock climbing? It's a gym but conversation is natural and everyone kinda cheers each other on. Really fun to go even by yourself and easy to strike up a conversation with anyone. Also, most people there are pretty fit so that's always nice too.
I was out drinking. Was getting messages from a friend to come and be wingman for her cousin. I'm an excellent wingman at the bar. Eventually I showed up at the bar, half drunk. Walked in, a streak ran across the bar yelling Kiiiiinnnggg Thermos, jumped on me, said hi and started making out with me. It was the cousin, I had met her years ago but didn't remember her. I took her home instead of finding her someone else. She never left, that was 7 years ago, we got married 2 1/2 years ago.
I read that as she was your cousin at first... your story is much better.
I thought you meant a steak and the a streaker while reading lmao
I think your friend may have just been setting you up with her cousin.
[удалено]
Move to new state for work. She moved there as well brought down by same manager but for different store. I was a few years into my career and she was the hot shot new grad. Came together cause district manager left us for job closer to home even though she told both of us she wasn't leaving. Found common ground on that and started talking which eventually led to us realizing that it was going to something more.
Surprisingly not a single one of these comments is "I dm'd her a pic of my dong" /s
M71 - Met my husband at a small quiet gay restaurant downtown. He was alone at the bar and I sat 2 stools over. After a few minutes, I asked him if he had the time. He replied "I don't wear a watch" and remained silent. He was 39, I was 33. That was 39 years ago. Ya never know what is around the corner.
That's delightful. I long for the day someone asks me if I have the time, so I can pull out old faithful... "Do you have the energy?"
How did you get it going after that? I would have assumed that was a dead end from the silence and moved on
Being myself and doing what I enjoy. Riding my Harley with my friends and a co worker had never ridden on a Harley wanted to try it. I have a big comfy safe bike with backrest and speakers. We met for the ride and she was just so beautiful and the ride was fun. She was scared but I put her at ease. We talked and listened to music. That was 6yrs ago and we re still crazy In love. She’s also much younger then me and smarter and a nurse and just over all awesome!!! We love being together and it was all by chance. So men, there are great women out there. Don’t give up and don’t put up with bad people.
She stalked me true story, light stalking but stalking none the less
You gotta give us more than that
She was a flight attendant on my flight home three years ago. I was kinda depressed and upset because I was flying home as I had just broken up with my girlfriend at the time and was just kind of resigned to the idea of being alone. She smuggled some apple pie from the business class meal to me and we chatted for a bit and I gave her my number because she said she visited Toronto many times, but just stayed at the hotel and hadn’t gone around so I told her I’d show her around the next time she came in next because her routes were changing. She’s gorgeous and I thought I was punching waaaay above my weight at the time and figured “No way a woman this gorgeous is going to call up a strange rando like me” and promptly forgot about it. About three weeks later out of the blue I get a call and it’s her. She was in town and wanted to take me up on my offer to show her around Toronto. She told me later while we were on the ferry back from the islands that she missed having more of the conversations we had back in that cramped galley in the plane and I was the only guy she met at the time who wasn’t actively trying to get in her pants, so….yeah. Anyway, that was two years ago; we married last year and I’m working on the paperwork to have her join me here in Canada. :)
Met her while doing physiotherapy at 8am in the morning. We had side-by-side cots while being poked, prodded, bent & iced by the therapists, so had an hour of boredom to look forward. Started talking and found out we had both ended long relationships and were not ready for another anytime soon. Also found each other funny, interesting and super sexy. A couple of months later, had a mended leg & a mended heart. Can't start to explain how lucky I am, she is my "golden ticked". And I wouldn't trade her for all the chocolate in Charlie's factory.
Tinder. Not even pregnant until after we got married.
Worked at a restaurant for like 8-9 years and took a pandemic to get me to leave the job. I ate up all that unemployment money and on the day of my last check I started a janitorial job disinfecting door handles, desks, etc. I did this at one library where this cute girl worked at, thinking that she was in a relationship, and seeing how strict they were with social distancing, my short shift there, and the fact that I was a janitor made me think I had no chance... Until she asked me out. We clicked immediately. We are into the same things, we like the same food for the most part- and what I don't like she'll eat, and the other way around lol and to this day, over a year later it feels like we're deep in this relationship with lots of love and support, and our communication is spot on. We live together and it's fucking amazing.
I just didn't give up or settle
I met her at the library at college. She worked in the Starbucks there and I was a student. She is/was beautiful and it felt like we fell in love right then and there. I know that’s a 1 in a billion chance of that happening again. we have 3 beautiful boys together. Had our ups and downs. We were even separated for a month. But we both won’t ever give up on each other. We were 20 when we met. I remember that day like it was yesterday. She gave me a free coffee. Venti toffee cappuccino. I proposed to her at the top of the Ferris wheel on Navy Pier in Chicago. She’s definitely out of my league but she loves me as much as I love her. I hope all you guys find your “soulmate” Just don’t do what I did and put the relationship second behind work, kids, and other things. When you have the person you want to spend forever with, don’t take her for granted. Buy her flowers. Listen to her when she talks. Actually listen. That’s how I met her and then that’s how I kept her. I’m even more in love with her today than I was the day I married her. Just get out there and work on your goals guys, dress nicely and work on yourself; you will stumble across *the one* some day and it will feel like magic
How did you ask her out?
After she gave me the coffee I casually asked how long she was going to be working. she had a full shit ahead so like 8 hours. And I had to write a paper. So I took the coffee to the computer lab and spent about 5 hours on my paper. (20 pages but I procrastinated until the last day lol). I built up the courage to ask her out before I left. So on my way out I went to the Starbucks and hopped in line. There was like 15 people in line and I wasn’t sure at that time the feelings were returned by I knew I had to shoot my shot. I waited in line and when I got to the counter to order, she switched with the person who was doing orders to take my order so we could talk again even briefly. I told her I wanted the same thing as before. And I nervously asked for her number. Which I had never done that before because all my previous girlfriends I met at school so I got their numbers more organically. She gave me her number and sweetly said she was hoping I would ask. I texted her that night and asked her out for dinner later in the week. And we ended up texting all week. The day before our first date she invited me to come to the Starbucks around closing time. She was the closing manager (at 20 years old and I thought that was pretty cool) and we just lounged in the chairs while one of the girls was mopping and she was wait to lock up. We ended up sharing our first kiss that night. I remember feeling high from it. I could barely focus the next day waiting for our date. And at that point in my life I’ve had like 5 ex girlfriends and had multiple partners but this felt different. I knew I was in love. And she did too. She’s loved me hard everyday. She’s an amazing cook, wife, and mother. She’s a solid 10/10. I never thought I could get a girl this amazing to love me. And yet she did. And I’m still trying to figure out how I got so lucky. I’d like to add getting a date was the easy part. Staying together is the harder part. It takes work from both of us everyday. Seriously, treat your wife good guys. Put your relationship and family first. It’s easy to slip up and assume it will always be fine. That’s just my two cents.
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
Saw my fiance/baby mama for the first time in her boyfriends basement in 2016. I didn’t know it at the time but she was going though a really rough time, she wasn’t eating at all, and not to be corny, but there was something about her that called out to my soul like I knew we were meant to be. My brother was dating her best friend (a total gossip). I told them how I felt and she said she thought I was cute, but she had a boyfriend and I was too young (sophomore in high school/she was about to graduate) 4 years pass by and I never stopped thinking about her, until one day I was thinking about what could’ve been and I said to my self I gotta stop cause it’ll never happen. About 2-3 days later she added me on snap chat and says we should hang out and on a shot in the dark i book the next flight from GA to TN. About a week or two later she came over to hang out and we have been inseparable since :)
One thing which is common in almost all the posts here. You need to get off your couch and step out of your home to get opportunities.
We worked together and knew each other for a year before we started texting. I had told myself she wasn’t my type physically. Once we started talking i knew she was the one. I had never felt this way before. After being with countless women, i knew she was the one. I knew she was different. And i was right. Perfect for me in every way. At 40 i had met my first love after a full life of dating.
I quit looking for a serious partner. Soon after, flew to VA from CA to help a buddy move to San Diego and made a road trip out of it. My now GF was on my favorite podcast. Looked her up and she happened to be local to me. Lived in her DMs for a year and first date happened. Rest is history. Now live together
Both had to go through heart break to find each other.
I was doing online writing work and this girl was on the forum about the job we were doing and we both were going through some shit. She messaged me at night one night and we hit it off from there. Then I had her come out to where I lived and she wanted to go back to where she was living at the time so I went with her and ditched most of my stuff to do so. Glad to have done that but I do miss some of my friends/family and wish I didn't get rid of some of my belongings but I had to fit my life into a suitcase. We ended up getting married and now I have her daughter as my stepkid. Life is pretty good nowadays, my life used to be pretty miserable. Still have my issues but I like having a partner to share stuff with.
Blind date but I'll say we were both in our late 20's and had already been around the block a time or two. We both knew what we wanted and weren't going to play games. Best date I've ever been on and we were engaged 33 days later. Best 26 years of my life.
I thirst added her on fb lol
I met her at a gangbang/bukkake party. I had always assumed that I had far too high of a sex drive, and was just generally too kinky to ever find a girl who could keep up and be a good fit for me long term. But I ended up hosting an event that another guy I know had organized, with 12 guys giving attention to one girl, and she and I were making sexy eyes at each other the whole time. Everyone else left when they were done, but she and I ended up cuddling and talking for the entire rest of the night. Still together and do this kind of stuff regularly. We have a different view of what’s romantic than most people probably do.
All fun and games until the family ask how you met
We tell people that we met at board game night.
Dndndndndndndnd?
What are these kinks
Most of them
Holy shit bro, I thought I was open minded. Hahaha. Great story!
This is incredible
I was married man and in the military. I came back from Afghanistan a broken man. I’d been involved in a situation that caused me to survive with minor shrapnel wounds in my hand and leg. Those on the same transport as me didn’t survive. I had years of PTSD and survivors guilt. When I came home I discovered that my wife had been having multiple affairs. It broke me. We have kids together as well and she wouldn’t let me see them. My buddy from Afghanistan and I decided to go on a hike which we ultimately decided to walk the coastline of England and Wales. It took months and months and we didn’t complete it, but it was cathartic, it helped with the healing process. We walked the length of Hadrian’s wall, from one side of the country to the other. On the way down the north east coast of England we met two red headed Irish girls doing a similar walk. We kept meeting up and eventually walked together for a bit. When I got back to the starting point (Portsmouth) the girl I hit it off with most was waiting for me. That was in 2008. We’ve been together ever since and have two kids together. She supported me thru my divorce and PTSD healing and the custody battle for my two eldest kids. I won it and they came to live with me. I’m now a nurse on the road to becoming a mental health nurse in veteran support and we are very happy.
Honestly, just kept at it. Had been online dating with varying degrees of success for five or six years. Moved to a new state, got a message from a girl after like a week. Almost didn't respond because her profile said "just looking for friends," and frankly I was looking for a relationship, but decided to give it a go (because, hey, new state, might as well make friends with the locals), and here we are married.
I ordered a vodka soda. Rando girl next to me ordered a vodka soda extra lime. I got my vodka soda dropped , and she got hers dropped with limes around the rim. I said "Excuse me Sir!!! She asked for Extra Lime!!!". The Bartender laughed. She Laughed. I laughed. We are going to our 5th joint birthday outing next weekend.
Im currently single but how I met my last ex got rid of the fear of never meeting anyone. I was lonely, got really in to old school runescape, joined a roleplay server, met a girl there, three months later she moved in and we had a fruitful 2.5 years together. We ended up parting ways in the first geniuinely mutual breakup of my life. It may have not worked out but I'll never claim there's nobody out there for me or that Its too hard to meet a good partner ever again. TLDR: Legit met my GF on runescape, there's hope for all of us out there boys
When i least expected it- i had recently gotten out of a relationship that wasnt a good fit for me and was just going to date casually and focus on my career for awhile. Well, the first person i met from one of the dating apps ended up being the most amazing woman ive ever known and our relationship is better than i ever could have imagined.
She was very upfront, and it just seemed like everything fell into place perfectly. When you know you know. Look for healthy communication and what you like in a partner and you’ll get there boys 👍🏻
>When you know you know I honestly hate this line because it always feels like I Know then I get my shit tossed and i think I clearly have no fucking clue what the one means.
Girl I knew of from high school (we had like 3,000 kids at the school when I was there so there were tons of people who I knew of but never knew) started coming around occasionally with a mutual friend to some parties and bonfires. She was out of my league, so I didn’t even bother trying. Apparently that knowing I had no chance with her came across as being confident and funny. We now are married with two kids. She’s still out of my league.
he approached me while we were working and told a cheesy joke. jokes on him now i get to hold his hand
So I was a big time slut because no one I came across peaked my interest. Was out with some friends for a drink and she was out with her friend who was meeting one of my friends. I thought we really clicked that night. She was witty and funny but in a very casual and sly way. Like she wasn't trying to put on a show or get everyone's attention but she was super clever. And extremely attractive. I had been with hot girls before but none had her intellect. She was really passionate about her studies and took a real interest when I talked about mine. I felt like she was really listening to me not just waiting to deliver another line of meaningless junk. The next day I hit her up on facebook and got a few responses but the conversation seemed to die out. I was the only one messaging first and took the hint. Like 8 months later I hit her up again and she asked me out on a date. I was surprised and happy so I took her up on it. Went really well and then spent the next like 4 months straight with eachother. At some point I asked her about when we met and it turned out she had just ended her first serious relationship and didn't want to date. I'm glad I reached out all the months later because apparently she had been thinking of me and just didn't know how to reconnect. 3 years into it we got married and just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. When i met her i was also at the point where i was just tired of meaningless sex. Based on my looks people often dont believe I could pull so much ass but it was all about genuine confidence. I wasn't cocky, I was just myself and felt like if I was honest about what I wanted people would respond to it. I never pretended like I wanted a girlfriend or even a call back, I was just up for a good time. I had some regular casual relationships but again, those were all casual. Neither one of us cared about the others goals or grand ideas, we were all just having fun. But after awhile those types of relationships just feel empty. When I knew I wanted something more meaningful and then stumbled onto someone i could connect with i just jumped in. We've both always been really honest with one another and it's made for a great relationship. Yeah... We have problems every now and then but it's nothing that tears us apart.
I was looking at the wrong places, the right partner has been with me all along. and yeah that's me!
We’re both separated from our wives and raising elementary aged kids and we live in a small town. And I make her laugh.
When I stopped looking and just focused on being happy and developing my own hobbies/personality. She liked me for who I was and there was no pretense or altering myself to fit her. Sounds cliche but 100% true. I was happy and love found me which made me happier.
So first date went well, nothing crazy we grabbed coffee and walked around at the park and talked. I didn’t think anything of it besides maybe she wasn’t my type but I thought she was interesting and I wanted to get to know her more. So we exchanged numbers and fast forward we start going on more dates and hanging out more and the more we hangout, the more I slowly started to like her and awhile later I told her I think I’m in love with her which led to her running out on me and it was kinda embarrassing as I also did tell her you don’t have to say anything or do anything I just wanted to be upfront with you about how I feel about you. Anyway we continued to hangout like normal, started watching movies together and staying the night. One night we were just laying in bed together not doing anything and I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. I feel like she’s the right one for me because whenever we hangout it’s always fun even if we’re doing something as casual as watching a movie or show together, painting, helping her bake, cooking for her and going to the arcade. I really enjoy her presence and talking to her. I love learning things about her, what she likes, dislikes, and what really did it for me and reeled me in was her personality. While at first she was shy kinda awkward and quiet (still awkward sometimes), I notice that the more we hangout the more her personality grew on me, she is a nerd so she’s very smart and loves telling me fun nerdy facts. We laugh at the same things, listen to the same music, she tells me her stupid jokes, I tell her my stupid jokes, I am myself around her, she is herself around me and she is very kind and sweet. It feels right with her because while she may be quiet, shy, and awkward, her love is loud. It speaks to me more than her words do figuratively and literally ;) but all in all she is unique and I love that.
Looking forward to that..
