Mine was a love that almost never was. My first semester freshman year of college, my roommate and I decided we were going to check out the anime club to see if it was worth attending. For some reason we decided it'd be better to start with the Org meeting, where the discuss issues, instead of one of the meetings where they actually show stuff. I don't remember why, but I ended up missing the meeting, and she went alone. She came back that evening completely freaked out, and with some real horror stories (30 something year old man wearing a kilt hitting on her while making comments about his sausage pizza, for an example, and "Hi my name is *** and I can't maintain an errection without watching animated porn"). We decided that it wasn't something we wanted to get involved in.
Second semester, I'm in the middle of a serious flirt with this guy when things suddenly drop off. I was a little frustrated, and decided I wanted to expand my social horizons. I head over to where most student organizations meet and walk around all the rooms, looking at what's going down. It just happens that I was there when the anime club was meeting. I decided to see if it really was as bad as my roomie claimed. I walk in, and almost walk right back out. There are like two girls there (and one of them's wear a ton of leather, and it's not covering much) and the guys seem to fit the US stereotype of anime nerd. I mean, I see this guy who actually shocks me with how unattractive he is, like I seriously winced (and I'm not a shallow person. Appearance normally doesn't phase me). To make it worse, he's sitting with this kid who looks like he'd die if you breathe on him and the creepy old guy. I was about to leave, when one of the guys who leaves in my dorm walks in and starts talking to me. I made it though the meeting, and actually had fun. The first guys I saw talked to me after, and I agreed to visit their improv club. I attend a couple of meetings and seriously have fun, despite the amount of ogling I was getting. I end up seeing this guy from improv, because we had a bit in common, and I was looking for a casual fling. I was kind of hoping it'd curtail the developing crushes as well.
It didn't. The shockingly plain kid totally liked me, and wasn't shy about letting me know. He hit on me. He argued with my boyfriend about me. Things like that. At first it was creepy weird, but we eventually became friends. We shared a number of hotels and attended a number of strange events together that semester. (Along with the rest of the club) Eventually I got fed up with everything though, and told him I wasn't the type to see two guys at once, I wasn't interested, and he was going to lose my friendship if he didn't back off.
The semester ended, and so did my fling. When I got back to school, my friend started hitting on me again. By this point I'm completely used to thinking of him as more or less genderless, and can't get out of friend mode. We agreed to have a sleepover to discuss the issue. His way of discussing ends up being with his hands. I kicked him out of my room and wouldn't talk to him. During club he kissed me, and it was the most awkward kiss of my life. He was horrible at it. I was his first. But still, I became aware of the fact that I was actually attracted to him, and my guy friends all agreed that it was probably just sexual on his part, and sleeping with him would end the issue. I ask him out. He declines. He says he has no interest in me. Throws back every rejection I've given him. After four straight hours of asking, he finally gives in. Turns out it was more than just sex for both of us, because we've been together for a year and a half now.
(Hows that for not romantic at all. And long. I actually trimmed a lot of it out. XD)
I compete in amateur boxing and my boyfriend joined the club about a year ago. I usually ignore all new people for a month or so because so many people join up and then end up quitting within a month. Over the years I had invested so much of my own time and sacrificed a lot of my own training to help them along, only to have them quit in a month or two. He stuck it out and was there for several months and we became friends. We have both lived here for about 10+ years and discovered that we have a ton of the same friends but just never met outside of the club.
My coach spent the summer in Alaska and my (now SO) worked out together all summer and became really good friends. We also did a lot of camping and hiking on the weekends together. He pursued me really hard for months but I was stubborn about being single....but he finally wore me down by the end of summer/early fall.
I can honestly say that this is the first time I've truly been in love.
Amazing stories, ladies! It's always good to learn about your stories.
Na-na, that is very interesting. There has been some sort of denial on both sides, till you both gave in to the undeniable fact that you both love each.
Sourpuss, you are a strong, loving woman a worthy man would love to have in his life. You are worth the wait.
Isn't it amazing when you watch that love grow as you enjoy doing together what you love to do such as boxing.

well I share. Mine is one of those crazy stories. My sweets likes to tell everyone that we met on a pool table to break the ice. The real story...we met through a friend/co worker of mine. I met my friend Rae when I started working for a cellphone company. They laid us off and we ended up getting our next job working together. At the close of office party, she brought her high school sweetheart with her. Weeks before so had gotten back in touch with them and found out they had both just ended a bad 7 yr relationship. They started to rekindle what they once felt so she naturally brought her future SO with her to the party.
She introduced us. Me being extremely shy, i didn't say much. She convinced him to mess with me while we were playing pool so soon enough i had him grinding on me and tickling me to try to losen me up. It worked. We all ended up at her place hanging out. He sat beside me and spent the night rubbing and holding my hand. We had this instant connection. That is until she took him in the bathroom had sex with him. We exchanged numbers at the end of the night and I went home.
About a month later the officially started dating. they dated for almost 2 yrs before she cheated on him and broke it off. In this time she quit her job and her and i weren't talking like we were. We went from best friends to barely talking.
He posted a blog about being heartbroke over losing her, i told him i was here if he needed a friend. he took me up on that offer and i became his major support in his heart healing. I soon found out that throughout their whole relationship, she would always bring my name up in fights. Saying him and i should date cause we are exactly alike, yelled at him for "checking me out", and always saying i was forcing myself on their lunch dates even tho she would beg me to with them.
Anywho, within a few months we started getting closer and closer. When my mom got sick he became my support. Soon enough we started seeing that we really were perfect for each other. We both tried denying it because of his ex/my friend but we just couldn't deny it any longer so we made it official.
Its been a yr and a half and its been amazing. I love him more than anyone on earth

Josh and I met 6/14/08 after finding each other on a local dating site. Well, to be fair, I found him firstI had signed up 2 days prior to emailing him, and 5 days later, we were on our first date! As of yesterday, we've been together for a year and a half (my longest relationship now), and we couldn't be happier! We always talk about sharing a life together and he's always there for me and helping me in every way! He just bought a house, and he's letting me decorate it because he knows I'll be living in it one day too. I'm so poor and he was nice enough to pay for all my Christmas gifts! He's amazing.
These are from Thanksgiving. He was being silly
