I'm enjoying reading all of the love stories on the thread.
I'm very blessed to be married to my husband. I'm still in love, just like I was so many years ago. Maybe even more :)
My friend says her ex-boyfriend met his wife on Free Republic. Said she heard about many romances, engagements and marriages. Is this is all true?
sorry, fatima, my story started out cool and ended badly. the memories are painful. maybe some day I can listen to the stories... I am getting to old to hope that something real is possible.
Let you know when I meet him!!!! lol
There have been a few in my lifetime that I "thought" were the LOMY.. but alas....
Nice story springman! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully her aim is bad & she throws "light" stuff...chuckle
....hmmmm
Still looking, still hoping, after a couple of failed attempts...
There has to be a kind-hearted, nice-looking, non-psychotic, tattoo-free, gun-loving, conservative chick somewhere out there, one who wants to have & raise 2-4 kids...
Oh, and tall too?! Tall might be kinda nice, since I am 6'3&1/2"
Ever the pragmatic optimist...

I met my wife in 1989. She was a concert pianist from New Zealand, studying at the University of Washington. She popped across the border to Vancouver, Canada. I met her, and offered to show her the town... which I did. Spent a wonderful afternoon and early evening.
She went back to Washington, we corresponded informally and casually.
I was working for an Australian company at the time (Elders IXL) and had a number of Australian friends as a result. Six weeks holiday banked up: the company wanted me to spend it as they were accruing it year-on-year. So I decided on a trip to Australia, to see my mates over there.
My open ticket allowed for one stopover: I decided to spend an afternoon in New Zealand, to see this Concert Pianist, say hello, have a coffee and then on to six weeks in OZ.
Didn't work out that way at all! I spent six weeks in New Zealand, and asked her to marry me three days into my vacation! Talk about a whirl-wind romance! We spent a marvellous six weeks -- a time I'll never forget.
We married in 1991 in Vancouver. In 1994 she wanted to go home to New Zealand, and funnily enough I wanted to go with her: and here I am still. Sixteen happy years into marriage, two wonderful kids, and a wonderful woman who is my wife. I love her fiercely, and am a jealous husband. (She's pretty jealous, too!)
Every day, every year, she gets prettier and prettier, and I become more and more infatuated, and I thank God for every breath we breathe together.
I have never been tempted to look astray: there is no other for me, never can be. If and when we are parted, I hope I go first. If not, nobody will replace her: I'll go alone.

Thank you, fatima, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities. Love of my life? Hmmmmm......this is difficult for me. But, I guess I'll tell you that I met my current husband (#2) through a blind date. He worked with my best friend. She introduced us. We just celebrated 18 years in October. God bless him. He is so tolerant of my imperfections.
Oh boy....oh boy.....it's almost Friday. And, believe it or not, I have a three day weekend coming. My, my....what to do with that FREE time.
Time for me to make my rounds. I want to read some of the pings before starting to do what I'm paid to do.
But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!
And, for the rest of you………..
Now remember, the Canteen is
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

This is pretty funny. I was in a fraternity at my college in town and among others I saw one of my fraternity brothers there that night. We had graduated three years earlier. We had been talking among a bunch of friends and then he saw this very attractive girl sitting at the other end of the bar with her girlfriend. He was attracted. So he went down to her to "hit on her". It turned out it was his SISTER who was one year younger than him.
It turns out that she had had very long chestnut hair for many years, but earlier that day she had had it cut REALLY SHORT. In fact it was only about three inches long but it looked fantastic.
It seems there was this very prominent and highly paid hairstylist visiting a Department Store in our city that day doing some kind of promotion. He offered to cut the hair (for free) of two girls whose faces (eyes, cheekbones, etc.) he felt were beautiful and would suit what he wanted to do with them. My buddies sister was one of the two.
Well after my buddy finally recognized his sister after she said to him, "David, it's me ......, your sister."
LOL.
Anyhow, I also thought she was beautiful so I went over to her a little later and the rest is history.
One funny night.
We were both taking a summer math class and met there. Summer classes being what they were (2 hrs a day, 4 days a week), we were given a 10 minute break to go get a drink or snack, go to the bathroom, have a smoke or whatever else. Anyway, we rode down the elevator to the ground floor and being Mr. Slick, I offered to pay for her Coke. I pulled a dollar out of my front pocket and put it in the machine and said "What do you want?"
She thanked me, smiled, and said "Coke, please." I pressed the button for the Coke and handed it to her. Then I reached in my wallet for another dollar - as luck would have it, all I had was a twenty so I turned to her and said "Hey, can I borrow a dollar?" Been together for 6 years now. True story!
Here, on FreeRepublic. Been married four months now. Until we got married we were 800 miles apart. Racked up a lot of phone calls in there.

~Love Stories~ How did you meet the love of your life?
At a Parrot Head Convention in Key West Florida. It was Love at First sight.
moved into her house in college. She hated me at first. Then I grew on her like a fungus.
How did I meet the love of my life??? I'm still looking for her; any interested applicants??? :-)
Her car had been run off the road. I stopped. She had amnesia. I convinced her she was my wife.
Job interview.
Her flirty skirt and huge green eyes put a spell on my that I'll never forget.
I got the job and the girl, for a while..
