My g/f and I have been together for just over three years. We met when we were both participating in a wilderness first aid certification course ... something just clicked and we've been together ever since. Why do I love her? Because she's beautiful, full of life, and wow, this list could go on forever!!

My boyfriend and I have been together twenty-one months today

My freshman year in high school I was best friends with a girl who was friends with him. She had a boyfriend but he really really liked her. And although she swears to this day she never liked him, I think differently... Anywhoooo, one day before 4th hour (a class I had with my friend) I went to her locker to meet her like I always did and he was there... So we first originally met at her locker. It seemed like everyday he was at her locker and I became more curious about him.

I found him on myspace and added him. On Memorial Day my friend and I were hanging out and she was texting him, but she was doing something so I asked if I could text back. We talked for like an hour before she wanted her phone back. But I didn't wanna give it back... I liked talking to him. So he gave me his number and we started texting each other. At this point my friend accused me of liking him but I denied it... even though I did. And of course since she had a boyfriend and she claimed to not like him I started to. And on the night before our last day of school freshman year, I told him I thought I liked him. And he didn't know what to say since he never texted me back... Aha.

But then the next day I ran into him after school and he said "Hi" which totally made my day, lol. Later that day I was at home when I got a call from his phone. When I answered it was my friend saying that he wanted to go out with me... but he really didn't. Feeling bad though he went along with it. So we started "dating".

My friend was furious when she found out and forced him to break up with me a week later. He said it was the hardest thing he ever did. When I found out my friend set me up just to "have fun" I hated her and yelled at her and yeah... It was bad. lol But I still wanted to be friends with him so we still talked.

About two weeks later we were texting each other and had gotten to know each other a lot more. We were asking each other random questions when he asked me how many boyfriends I had. When I told him 3, he asked if he could be the 4th. It was like 11:30 at night and I was tired so I didn't really comprehend it so I asked what? And he replied with do you wanna go out with me...again? For real this time. I didn't know what to say so I told him I wanted to think about it. I didn't talk to him for two days. I asked my friend what she thought about it and she called me a backstabbing *insert bad word*(take your pick...she used a lot of them) and told me I was ruining her life by doing this... Which made me mad so while I was at my other friends house sleeping over, I called him and told him yes... which was June 27, 2008.

Throughout the summer my "friend" tried breaking us up, by lying to him and me about things we "said" about the other. Needless to say, it didn't work. From that summer, I have not been friends with her the same way I used to be. We used to totally ignore each other. Now we occasionally say hi. But it's awkward...

So yes. My boyfriend and I have been together for twenty-one months now He is he first guy I have ever loved and I can't imagine seeing myself with anyone else. Yeah we've had ups and downs but overall, we are perfect together Ahhh, his name is Logan and he is two years & two months exactly older than I am...he's in college, me a junior in high school...so we don't see each as much as we used to last year. But since I take college classes at his school we just so happen to have class together which makes it better! But honestly he is the only guy I can see myself with.

This is us at prom last year;;

Hahah, sorry. I've never seen that spelling before. Usually I'm torn between brittney with an E and brittany with an A, now I have another one to memorize, and worry about.

I met my boyfriend Aaron last year, around this time. He was a sophomore, and I was a freshmen. He apparently "kind of" had a crush on me, and would use every excuse possible to talk to me. I thought it was weird, seeing as I just got out of a relationship a month or so earlier, and I didn't really want anything to do with guys at the moment. Eventually, we stopped talking until swim season began this year. It was my first year on swim team, and I'm a sophomore, as he is a junior. He came up to me and was like, "hey! you're actually doing swim team! That's great!" and we started talking again. This time, I didn't find it weird that he always wanted to talk to me. And I kind of always wanted to talk to him. Eventually, we started hanging out, and he would take me out on "dates" to random cute places. After a few weeks of that, we had our first swim meet, and he asked me to come over afterwards. I agreed to go, and we ended up sitting under his christmas tree talking. Somehow from the conversation, he asked if I had any interest in being his girlfriend. Me, being slightly awkward and a little dumb if i say so myself, said "If you'd like to, it's up to you." He looked at me in the eyes and said no, it's not up to me, this is me asking YOU to be my girlfriend. After that, I laughed and was like, oh, right! And i said yes. Ever since then (December 14th, 2009) I've been much much happier with him, he makes me feel happy even if I'm having the worst day ever haha. We've been dating for a little more than 3 months now. What I like about him is that he's very considerate and mature about things relationship-wise, which is one of the things my last relationship was lacking. He also is always up for anything, like me, once we were sitting in the park watching the sunset, and i suggested we paint a picture of it, he agreed, and we ran to my house and painted a picture . I can go on for a while, but I figured you guys are bored of me rambling at this point, if you read this far haha.

We were one of the first couples to meet online and get married.

I was working for Sprint B2B in Boston. This was before the major carriers were cell phone providers and network carriers. This was the dawn of the Cable in the Classroom era.

She was teaching 6th grade language arts...or maybe reading, at an inner city Dallas public school.

The day we met, her class was testing out a new telephony IRC. Basically the early days of instant messaging when real time messaging was brand new. As fate would have it, she had a boy in her class with the same name as mine. So, she introduced herself and her class and asked if I would chat with them for a minute.

Online chatting turned into a phone call which turned into me flying her up to NH for a weekend getaway. Boy was she lucky I wasn't an axe murderer. Then again, i was lucky she wasn't nutz. (That didn't happen until our 4th year married.

We jet set for about a year an a half. We almost didn't make it. We broke up because of the distance at one point. It seemed that unless we were able to take a big commitment this situation wasn't going to work. However, being apart quickly because unbearable. That's when I decided to fly her up and pop the question.

We'll be in Disney April 25th - 30th for our 10th year anniversary.

Happily Ever After,

THE END!

Matt just left for his new job today. I'm really happy about the money (we won't be struggling anymore.) but I'm sad that I'll be seeing him a lot less than I did at his old job. He's working about an hour away, and the shift is 12.5 hr long, 4-6 nights a week. I know its good for us, but I'm just going to miss him a lot.

dec 2008.

and yeah, its just annoying, because we're basically on opposite schedules.

 

[dancer4life22]

aww man i want a cute story to tell...

but sadly, none yet.

keyword: YET

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

That's what I keep telling myself...

It would appear that he didn't read the letter yet, or if he did, he is just flirting away anyways.
He shut my book so I could talk with them, and said, "See now you'll have a future boyfriend because your in our conversation..."

I have no clue what that was supposed to mean. Why do guys have to be so annoying

 

[dhiwannabe]

ok, am I the first SINGLE person to post on this thread?
i have this crush on 1 guy in my latin class . he's only in the 1 class, which kinda sucks, but he's also in advising (little groups of students that do peer counseling and meet once a week) and scuba certification. so that's working out well. my issue is that he's flirting his head off with this one girl. I guess you could call her a braniac...but that would be kind of rude, because im one, 2. so basically, he's pretty much dating this girl, and she's really nice and gets good grades and stuff. but when we do scuba certification when she's not around, he's stealing my sunglasses and flirting like heck! confusing! master of the mixed message much?
my only hope is that on the keys trip in 3 weeks or so, he'll notice me. hey, my bffl lucked out with a guy on our trip to n carolina last year, so i can always hope it's a charm.
how can i deal with this guy, and get him to notice me? the girl he's dating gets as good grades as me, but she's a tad prettier and thinner, though i dress well. and how can i tell what is up with him? advice, please!

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

Your not the only single one :] I am as well, maybe my posts didn't make it that obvious...

Maybe your trip will help you guys to become close, and is he dating the other girl, or just seriously flirting with her?

 

[aquarhapsody]

I don't have a boyfriend, but these are good stories, especially the ones that last 1 or 2 years.
I don't know anyone that I'm attracted to,so..yeah.

since you changed the topic to talk about breakups, I wanted to post that I've always learned something from all of mine.

1. my first relationship lasted almost two years. It was a very bad relationship. I didn't understand that at the time though. He always made me feel like I didn't have any friends, and I was ugly and stupid. I eventually overcame this, and left him. He clung to me and stalked me for months afterwards. He would send me these creepy pictures of himself, and weird gifts, for months and months afterwards.

2. my second relationship was with a guy who liked me the whole time I was with the first guy. I never really liked him that much, but I decided to give him a chance. It didn't work for much longer than a month or two. He broke up with me through a text message, when I was on vacation. Yeah, he was a loser.

3. my third relationship wasn't too bad. I really really liked the guy, a whole lot. It was puppy love, and the first "good" relationship I really had. We started as really close friends, and that was the problem. We got too close and ended up annoying each other. I was really sad when this one ended. We kind of stayed friends for awhile, but its harder to do that when you were so deeply involved with someone, and hten have to backstep to an earlier stage of your relationship. I've not talked to him in a long time. But I don't have bad memories of him, it just wasn't meant to be.

4. this one didn't last long at all, really. Just about a month. He had also liked me for awhile, and I didn't exactly feel the same but I gave it a shot anyway. I don't have bad memories of this one either, it just didn't work out.

5. i honestly have no idea why I ever got in a relationship with this person. It was so terrible that I refuse to speak to him, and if I see him, I go elsewhere. It lasted way too long and was just very self destructive and horrible.

Those are the only "relationships" I've had. I've dated five or six other guys for one or two dates, but these were the ones that lasted longer than that. oh, and of course there's matt, but we never broke up, so I didn't add him to the list. haha.

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

Number 5 sounded like my first terrible experience with a guy. It was horrible.


I figured I would broaden the subject matter of the thread, so it is just about relationships in general
