To those that are in a relationship now, what was the major thing that made you get together?

[TheRightToArmBears]

Barely a couple of weeks ago, I was at a party around my mates house. I was trying to get over being dumped, which happenned two days earlier. I was sitting moodily in his kitchen, alone with a bottle of Limoncello (no else likes it). And towards the end of the night, this girl walks in, I had never seen her before, and sits down next to me. She notices the 3/4 empty bottle next to me and says "there's my bottle. I've been looking for that." And the I looked up at her, she looked at me, into eachother's eyes... and then she asked why mine where red and sore. it spoiled the vibe a bit, but hey, she was the only person that cared and I was pretty sheepish over drinking most of her bottle. And we are the only two people who like the stuff..

Well sadly enough it was the fact that both of us that were hurt (emotionally) that we became close friends. My family was being fucked up (divorce, fights, alcoholism) and she was having her own problems (personal so I'm not telling you guys). Then I fell for her. The thing that made me ask her out and ask her to be my girlfriend was that I realized how soon I was moving. We are now in a good long distance relationship.

There was a cute blonde girl in 3 of my classes...

she was very social but the moment I would look at her she would turn red and shy....

Her younger brother has cerebral palsy, and I as a volunteer at the local Boys & Girls club always took care of him in hopes of one seeing her pick him up...

The day came and when she saw me waiting with her bro she froze. So I had to take the lead and simply thought to myself,"now or bust" I gave innocent smooch her check...

God I sure can pick'em.

ITS AWESOME!!! She can kick my ASS at SF 3: 3rd Strike...but I got the new SSF2THD REMIX on lock down....


LOOKS LIKE SF IV WILL DECIDE THE CHAMP.

I met my girlfriend when I bought her at an auction at a sci-fi con, and we've been together ever since. I'm not kidding.

A lot of these stories sound like people are mixing obsession up with love. If you can learn to tell the difference (and there definitely is one), you'll be much better off when the obsession wears off and all that's left are your *true* feelings.

My current relationship is built on the idea that rushing straight into obsessive, dependent relationships is unhealthy, and that it's best to take it slow and actually get to know someone well before you place that kind of emotional weight on them.

That's what they all say, and thewn they end up pregnant. Nah jk, I have a similar approach but love can happen in moments, don't think it's a process of time

Well my wife and I met in line at a free Christian concert. We got each other's email and eventually started chatting for long periods of time (We lived about 3 hours from each other).

But the clincher was when we had our first kiss.

We were sitting together on her dorm bed, and just talking lightly and looking at each other. Now, I'm a big chicken when it comes to girls. A total wuss. So I know she wants to be kissed (You know when they look in your eyes, and at your lips, and at your eyes again?), but I'm too chicken to do anything about it. So finally, after some inner wrestling ('Do it man!' 'No way! She'll slap me!' 'No she won't she WANTS you to! Do it do it do it!'), I finally asked her if I could kiss her. She smiled, said yes, and that was it.

I totally felt like a dork for asking, and told her this later, but she said no-one ever asked her before, and it showed that I actually cared how she felt. If I didn't ask, she said she would have pulled away and we probably still wouldn't be together (She had a few bad experiences before me).

But we're married now, and I love her more than anything. Married life kicks ass.

I was playing MGS3 at his house and he said "So are we a couple now or what?".
What could possibly be more romantic than that.

 

[Valiance]

I stalked her for a year. Was her best mate for a year after that. Then when im finally getting over her she admits that she likes me,4 months it lasted, then it was over and we dont talk now.
Waste of time lol

Good God, that sounds exactly like something i had with a girl once, minus the stalking part, we just liked eachother in secret for a year...

Ah, missed opportunities. I believe many of us have been there, my friend.

Deep throating. No I am not kidding or some imature little 16yr old. She went down on me, I decided to keep her. It's that simple.

I'm not saying this is a good basis to get married on, but it IS a good basis to start a relationship.

 

[RufusMcLaser]

She asked me what I was reading. From there it blossomed...

It was our love of firearms and using them to kill things.

Share the one experience or the major experience that made you and your significant other hook up or take your relationship further (and I don't just mean sex when I say that).

My boyfriend and I were already together when this happened, but it gave me 100% proof that I was going to be spending the rest of my life with this man. One night when we were talking, he made me so happy that it drove me to tears. That had never happened before and to this day he is the only person that can move me to tears of joy. That was the moment I knew we were going to be together for a very very long time.

Anyone else have a similar or significant moment that defined your relationship?

Of course you don't mean sex, you are a woman. Things like being driven to tears are IT for you but for men... it's mostly sex... sorry.

 

[TheTygerfire]

Of course you don't mean sex, you are a woman.

I'm a guy.

 

[Locker420]

Based on my personal experience as gay man is closer to a woman than a man emotionally. I guess your story sort of proves that rule, although there are exceptions.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Of course you don't mean sex, you are a woman.

I'm a guy.

AWKWARD SITUATION!!!

 

[TheTygerfire]

Based on my personal experience as gay

Wait, what?

And to counter, I'm bi, and I don't flame, so I'm just like any other guy out there, especially in the sex dept.

I just like it up the butt.
