We knew each other back in high school and hung out as friends, and then we just sort of...were together after a while.

it just kind of happened. He made this long private livejournal post that only I could see that told me he really liked me and I guess it just came from there.
we were in separate cities at the time and he came to visit me and when he got there and I introduced him to my mom it was meet my boyfriend.

He asked me out. We had a class together and he would always say hey to me. Then towards the end of the semester he sat next to me one day and asked me.

He asked me out.
We had been crushing on one another for 3-4 months but we were both shy and never really talked to one another unless the other spoke first. we flirted through smiles and glances so it was obvious to everyone around us we were into one another. he finally made the first move by asking me to sit at his table at a restaurant that was crowded and we got to talking and spent a few weeks talking on the phone and spending time together. few weeks after that he asked me out. we figured since we had liked one another for a few months and we would give the dating thing a try and if it did not work out we would become friends a little longer and then try dating again. |

We had been hanging out for a while like all the time. And one night we were just like, "So...how long have we been dating?" haha. Then we just
picked a date back when we had started making it constant or whatever.

He asked me, but I can't remember the details! I remember all the details of him instigating our first ever conversation (
 ), but it took about 8
months before he actually asked me out, and I can't remember the details of him actually asking me out. SAD!

He asked me. I was dating around three other guys casually at the time. He'd just started working with me a few weeks before and had just gotten to know me over the
span of about a week and a half. My friend that works with me mentioned I was dating three other people (because he has a big mouth) and my boyfriend seemed
surprised but joked about it. A few days later, about an hour before I was supposed to get off work, he was working back there with me and asked me if he could
be number four. And I thought he was joking, but he wasn't. I thought he was out of his mind. And I asked him, "Doesn't it bother you that I'm
dating other guys right now?" And he said no, because he knew eventually he would be the only one. And honestly, with any other guy I probably would have
been like oookay, whatever, guy. But for some reason, I didn't. I still don't know what it was about him or if it was just supposed to happen, but
instead of laughing it off -- I thought for a moment and then told him he could be number four. He gave me his number before I left that day, and that was
that.

Well, it was kinda weird. We had gone on a few dates and he was just like, "We're boyfriend and girlfriend right?" And then we were. It was
stupid.

we met at a party and liked each other from there, I was friends with his best friend/roommate so I went to their house a few times and hung out with
everybody, never really just with him. my best friend was determined to get us together so he talked us up to each other (I didn't think he really liked
me). then one night we were sitting on a bench, everyone went inside, he leaned in to kiss me but I kissed him first, then he asked "will you be my
lady" lol

I remember this so vividly because I loved it.
We work together but had never really hung out outside of work. On Valentine's Day there was nothing to do so we were thinking of going to a bar or something after with a bunch of us... so we exchanged numbers then. Turns out, we never went that night but he started texting me and we made plans to meet up at his cousin's bar that weekend. So a bunch of us are at this bar and we talked a little but he was on the other side of the room at one point and texted me saying "Hi.". I looked at him like "Seriously?" and started laughing. And he mouthed "Write back". So I responded "Hi?". Then he responded with
"Do you work Wednesday?" I said "Nope". Then the next text was "Dinner?". And I said "Okay  "
It was so simple but so cute because everyone we both know was around us yet none of them had any idea what was going on.. Our first date we went to this
italian place and ended up talking and staying there for 3 and a half hours. Our server probably wanted to kill us. After that we just kept hanging out all the
time and a few weeks later, I was at his place and my friend called me. I told her I'd call her back and she said "Ooooh are you are your
BOYFRIEND'S house?" and I was like, "I have no idea" . Well apparently he could hear the whole conversation cause he was right next to
me and my phone is loud. So after I hung up, he said "So.. ARE you at your boyfriend's house, or what?"
Ugh. i love these stories. |

Neither of us can remember the date of when we actually said we were "together" so we go with our first date as our "anniversary" date. I mean, neither of us were dating anyone else from that point on anyway so I guess it counts.
Whatever.
But I was the same way with him that you were. At first I had no intentions of dating him in a serious way, or really anyone for that matter, and I used to turn guys down all the time unless I could see myself marrying them or something. But for some reason when he asked me to dinner I just instinctively said
yes and didn't even have to think about it at all. It all just seemed to make sense to me and all of my previous little rituals and worries and
overanalyzing and subconsciously sabotaging everything just kinda went away when it came to him.

I always said no cause I just couldn't see myself dating anybody at that point, even if I kinda liked them, then he came along and yeah  almost 8 months later and I can't see myself with anyone else

awww kelli, yay!! I always said I wouldn't tie myself down to one person until I found someone that I just couldn't see myself NOT being with. And he
was that for me. According to him it was the same thing with him. Neither of us believed in pointlessly dating people if you don't see a future with them.
Gosh, it was such a relief.

It's all so weird to think about now, I was a totally different person then, cynical to solid relationships and sure I didn't want to get married and all that, and now I can't wait to be married to him. It's crazy how these things really do come along when you least expect it and when you aren't even looking. I never, ever would have guessed the first time I saw him, or even talked to him, that he'd end up being the one I can't imagine living without. I love these stories too!

He asked me out at traffic school of all places. I sat next to him and we basically talked/laughed through the entire class. He wrote me a stupid note in the
middle of the class saying "this is boring
 " and we wrote notes back and fourth, lol it was so middle schoolish. Anyway after class he asked me if
he could take me out to dinner sometime.

I first met him at my friends church. He and his friend came in to teach us how to swing dance. I thought he was a total dork when I met him and he thought I
didn't even notice him so he didn't even think about me except he thought I was hot.
So I went swing dancing again with my friend because she wanted to see his good friend. They started going out and his friend asked if I wanted to go out with his friend for a double date type thing. So I agreed and he swept me off of my feet by bringing flowers and paying for dinner. Basically being a gentleman. Of course what I loved about him was that never stopped. He always opens doors and does all those types of things. He takes care of me as I do him. We are also engaged now after 6 years of being together. What's even funnier is that my friend dumped his friend and we lasted |

I accidentally budded in front of him in line at the TicketMaster booth on campus. It hadn't opened yet, so he was sitting kind of off to the side talking
to some guy. When I realized that whoops - he was actually waiting and I had gone in front of him, I apologized and that's how the conversation started.
The guy he was talking to was just some other random guy in line. I don't know if he left or what ... after this part, he fades from my memory. David (the guy I apologized to) asked me what tickets I was buying to which I replied Lagwagon. He said he was buying tickets to for The Living End and I said I was going to see them, but my friend was buying me the tickets. Turns out he was buying the tickets for his friends because he and his band were the opening band for the Living End. I've always had a thing for guitar players (and that would be him) so I was drooling at this point! The ticket booth opened just then and I bought my tickets. I fumbled around with my knapsack killing time ... I didn't just want to leave this guy! So after he bought his tickets, we just started walking and talking. I cannot believe how smitten I was! He walked me over to where I was meeting some friends and then it turned awkward as I waited for him to ask me for my number. He didn't. But he DID ask for me email! (I've never forgotten this nerdy detail and I make sure to tell everyone this part!) He sent me an email, confirming even more that we had in common, so I replied, asking him out for coffee, and I also asked him to call me. We spoke over the phone for a few days before going out together. We totally hit it off, and we've been together over 7 years now. We will be celebrating our one year of marriage this August
