I love all of the stories in this thread!!
Well, when I was a senior in high school Brendan (who was a sophomore)dated a girl who was in my group named Kim. So, I met him through her. At the time I was dating my ex Omar and so me, Omar, Kim, Brendan and our friends Steph and Chuck would all hang out together. I remember thinking that Brendan was really funny and such a nice guy. I also remember thinking that he was cuter than my boyfriend (harsh, I know). Well, after dating for 4 months Kim broke up with Brendan and my group of friends completely stopped talking to him, except me. I thought it was stupid that they all acted like he didn't exist anymore, and I would seek him out just to say because I knew he was really sad about the whole situation. Once I graduated I didn't see Brendan for a full year. I went away to college and was still dating Omar. Omar and I ended up breaking up in March of my freshman year. One day over spring break I had gone home when I got a call from my best friend Lauren saying that she had just run into Brendan at Eckerd (where he used to work) and she wanted to hang out with him but was too shy to just ask him. So, I went down there and acted like I didn't know he was there. Then I gave him a big hug, told him about Omar and I not being together anymore, and proceeded to give him my number so we could all hang out. A month or more went by and Brendan and I would talk on AIM while I was away at school and we were becoming really good friends again. In late April I came home from college for the summer and Brendan and I hung out all of the time. Then one night I was trying to make it as obvious as I could that I had a crush on him by being all touchy feely and he eventually (being SUCH a gentlemen) said, "Can I kiss you?" The rest is history. hehe. We've been together since May 4, 2002 and have been through a lot together, with our relationship only getting stronger and stronger through everything.

Does he CONSTANTLY get called BRANDON?? That annoys my Brendan to no end.
YES! He ALWAYS gets called Brandon! He freaks out about it too!!! Apparently he really doesn't like the name Brandon hehe. Even at work they can't get his name right, on his name tag it says BRENDEN. That annoyed him too!Originally Posted by berylayn
Love your boyfriend's name!!!Not so common in guys in our age group...

It's a great name though. I love it!!
Believe it or not, DH and I have been friends since we were about 15, we're now 27. We never dated in school - in fact, I dated several of his friends.
(Years later we both realized that we had had crushes on each other that we never told anyone about.)
After we graduated from high school I moved away to college. Two years later he enrolled at my school but we only saw each other 3 or 4 times. It wasn't until I graduated from college and moved out of state that we ended up sending funny email forwards to each other. He stated joking about "wooing" me back home and we even joked about just getting married so we could stop worrying about the dating scene. (I had just gotten out of a bad 4-year relationship; he finally ended a long on-and-off relationship.) Around this time the non-profit I worked for closed and I moved back to my home state to regroup.
We started dating and 3 years later got married. We'll celebrate our 1 year anniversary this July!

Sure.
I met my guy at work where he and I are both nurses. He works for the agency, so he works in several different areas around the hospital. I had met him a couple of times before when he was working on my unit, but we never had much of an opportunity to talk. One day while he was working with me, I was dealing with a patient who was dying of cancer and the doctors were wanting to try a bunch of different things to try and prolong her life. She had pancreatic cancer and the tumor had blocked her bowels. I had immediately developed a really good rapport with the patient and her family and was in her room constantly. The doctors had ordered enemas to try and get things moving past the tumor. I had asked Dan if he would help me with her and he gladly said "yes." I was struck with his compassion for this woman and when I met his eyes while we were giving this woman an enema......I think I fell in love with him at that moment. I know that must sound strange.....but to see a man who can be so gentle with someone he doesn't even know....just went straight to my heart.
The next day, he was working somewhere else, but he came up to my floor and found me and asked if I had his scissors. Come to find out, he just wanted to see me again and needed an excuse to find me so that he could ask me out. We've been together for a year now and I truly feel that he is my soulmate.
We began having some problems about a month ago and I broke up with him. He seemed to have quit talking about things and I jumped to the conclusion that he didn't love me anymore. (I'm an idiot) I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get over him and finding that I can't.....because I love him too much. We've talked periodically over the last few weeks, but not about "us." Yesterday we finally had a breakthrough. I found out that the reason he's been stressing over things and shutting himself off was because he found out that he might be deployed to the Middle East and he wasn't sure how he was going to tell me or how I would react. He told me yesterday that his unit has been activated and will be leaving for Iraq soon. He's going to get all the details this weekend.
I made him promise me that he won't ever shut me out again. I told him that I can handle whatever happens as long as I know that he still loves me. I said, "Do you still love me?" He hugged me and kissed me and said "yes" and then kept saying "I love you" over and over again while we both cried.
So our love story is still a work in progress. He will be leaving for Iraq soon and will be gone for a year. I plan to stand by him and love him until he comes home safe. One thing is for sure......we love each other very much and are meant to be together.

well I actually met my wife Sandy in the third grade. She was a tall dorky kid who got picked on and so was I loll. Anyway she moved away and I lost contact with her. Well we met again in highschool and she really grew into her legs. I was obssessed with seeing her and spent about 1/2 my year in detention because her locker was right beside the science room that I went to. and I was late everyday because I talked to her or just had to see her. So one day the teacher saw what I was doing and I never got detention again. He said he can't stand in the way of love. So then I lost her again after highscholl. I saw her a few times with the town arse and always felt I could be better. Several years soon passed and I went through many trials and hard times.
Soon I looked for religion to help me spiritually. I was really hurting bad. So anyway I checked out about 20 religions and churches but never found a place where an ex-biker/heavy metal drummer fit it. I soon found these Mormon Missionaries and they taught me about how I can fit in. So one day I got up on a Sunday Morning and I went to this new church. I felt the need to be there and nothing would let me get back to sleep. I walked into the church where the 2 sister missionaries greeted me and I sat with them. Low and behold Sandy was right behind me. I found her again. So afterwards she gave me her phone number and told me to call her as we Single people must stick together. I called her...3 weeks later. You see me being a typicial male I can't take a hint at all. So anyway She told me she had quit going to church for 18 months because she had a bad breakup with her boyfriend. But she said that day we met was the first day she could not resist going to church. She couldn't sleep that day either so she went to church. That was in January and were married October 12. We now have 4 great kids and the furry kitty guy. I still say she was my first and greatest blessing.
I feel like jumping fr joy everytime I see her.

Chris and I met at the cappuchino bar on Camp Bondsteel, in Kosovo. I was there working as a contractor, he was/is a soldier. We actually didn't like each other when we first met. And yet, he came over to our place to play Uno and watch movies (There's not a lot to do on Bondsteel). We started to talk and hit it off. So we started hanging out, not much in the way of "dating" possible on a base if you're a soldier and not allowed to leave. I could being a civilian, but not him. Anyway, when he left and returned to Germany, we started dating long distance and visiting one another. We got married in May 2003 and I moved to Germany the next month.
