hey everyone, I haven't seen a topic with this subject so far, so here's my question. Do you have a boy- or girlfriend, if so; where and how did you met? I don't have a boyfriend myself , but I sometimes hear remarkable stories of how people met, some found each other on the train going to work , other by a datingsite. I'm just curious; what's your story?

I don't have a boyfriend, because 1) the boys in school think I'm nuts or they do indeed like me but are too shy to tell me, 2) I'm too shy to walk to one of the boys and tell him I like him, 3) there's one guy that I like but he's got a girlfriend and 4) there aren't a lot of boys I know outside school.

I don't see how point 3 has to be a problem scorpii. Or maybe that's just my evil mind, hehe.

nothing peculiar about my story ;-)
I know my boyfriend for three years, but we're together only one year and about nine months. Our story's easy, we met in the karate union. He's been training there for six years now, whereas I joined three years ago. And then, well, I kinda fell in love with him, but I had to wait for a year for him to notice. And I really wasn't shy with giving him hints! But finally he gave in and so we are together now and I'm happy :-)

I don't have a boyfriend (as I told before), that's probably because I always fall for the wrong guy's. :S most of the times they do like me, but not as their girlfriend, other times they already have a girlfriend. And for that matter, I agree with scorpii. I do not want to come in between, because I wouldn't like it, if other people did that with me. so I guess I have to be a little more patient. On the other hand...Do I need a guy?

mystic, I do think your story is peculair. because not everyone would (or could) wait a year. So in this case I think you can say your patience has been rewarded

Well, yeah... I absolutely wanted him - so I did what it took to get him But you'll find someone, too. A friend of mine had been really depressed, because she couldn't find a boy she'd like...and now there's somthing with a friend of her brother's... and you still got plenty of time

my fiance, joshua, and i met at a church group gathering at someone's house- i wanted to play fussball (the table kind, not the actual sport) and he did too- so we played and i got the crap kicked out of me- then he beat me at pool too. we didnt really hang out much for a few years, running into each other at church and at the uni. i stopped going to that church group so we kind of lost touch. i then cast him in the play i was directing for directing class and we got to hang out more then- he was very shy and told me after we started dating that he had been waiting for the right time to ask me out since the day we met. it was two and a half years after we met to the day that we started dating. we had become very close while i was tech directing and costuming a production he was directing. that show was rough- joshua and the playwright were not getting along well because the playwright wanted every last bit of script in the production and it was just too long- he didnt like the cuts being made and the day before opening was trying to change things. i was livid- the writer was yelling at joshua, a few of the cast members were in a tiff, and i was pissed as all hell. i stormed back stage and started rather angrily taking costumes off the rack for wash and repair. one of the cast members entered and i lit into him about how the playwright should trust that joshua knew what he was doing, seeing as he did hire him on to direct the ruddy play in the first place and that the night before opening the crew wasn't changing ANYTHING in the show. after my duty was done, i holed up under a setpiece and cranked the radio on the classic rock station. i hid until everyone had left and joshua found me and asked me to come out, assuring a still very tiffed off me that nothing was changing, my lighting and sound cues were fine, and if anyone had a problem with it, then they would just have to deal with it. i finally came out of hiding. we really depended on each other for that show- i knew he was something special when he whispered in my ear about something happening onstage on opening night (we were in formal wear and had created a lit entry and everything for the show- something the ungrateful playwright never thanked me for) and i had shivers from my head to my toes . joshua gave me the most wonderful hand massage the night the show closed- the stress was making my arthritis go haywire- and when the playwright started getting threatening at our little cast party for four (he was drunk), i stared him down and then went to joshua for safety's sake. that is the day we count as the day we started dating, even though it wasn't until a little later that we actually did. we never really 'dated', persay, just spent a hell of a lot of time together and knew that we were a couple. we kept in touch after the show and when my basement flooded, i called him first to help me rescue my sword collection from rust- we sat on the front lawn and cleaned those babies like they were the most precious things in the world (they are very special to me and always have been). his health went down hill and i helped take care of him for the entire summer- he had moved to mason, the town i had gone to high school in, and i spent a lot of time at his apartment, driving him to classes, helping him get to classes when his health got bad enough that i had to phsically support him, and finally, when he had to quit school, i helped him take care of his apartment, doing dishes, helping him cook, and spending the night there when things got really rough and he was having breathing issues. we got engaged six months later- we started 'dating' in april and were engaged in october, three years to the day as to when we met. i took care of him and helped him out in his apartment until he had to move again- the neighbours were smoking in their apartment and he was having even more breathing trouble. he moved into my house on the 29th of october and my mum helped me to take care of him until he was ready to start looking to either finish school or start work in the following spring. he still lives here and helps us out a lot. the summer he was in mason was the summer my grandad died who lived in this house and he was a godsend through all of that and the conflicting emotions there. he has helped me through my mum's divorce and has been great about helping to take care of gram, helping fix the cars when mum needs a hand, helping with the garden, the house maintenance, and getting groceries, since he is the only one of us working- gram also helps out with groceries a lot. we may have some hard times, and joshua's health isnt 100% yet- it probably never will be- but we get along just fine- and now we have a wedding we are planning! yay! there's my story. hope y'all find something to take from it. don't go searching for love, folks, love will find you when you least expect it and from someone you may not expect it from.

whaha, mystic, I think you are right about the fact that I still got plenty of time:D Think bout this: I'm now 20 years old; I find a guy, and we fall in love, and we got married. Most people become about eighty year old. That would mean we have sixty years together. That's a very, very long time...so yeah, plenty of time

I don't have a girlfriend right now, but my ex-girlfriend and I also walked circles around each other for 2 years before we finally found each other. That was a long wait, hehe. ;D But well, knowing it would all end the way it did, it actually might not have been worth it. But the 5 months we were together were great though.
