Instantly loved up?

SarahSassy

In the midst of all these threads about girls finding it difficult to meet nice men and 'he is just not that into you', I would like to hear stories on how it went well for some couples from the get-go...

For all the loved up ones, do you have heart warming 'it was right from day one' stories to tell us...

SS

(No bad stories please)

Xiney

I don't know if there was ever a flashing blinky sign of a moment.

But from almost day one, I knew if we could swing it (we're from different continents) I'd met my future husband. (So I proposed to him 5 weeks after meeting and we were married just over a year later)

John Mason

yeah, i know the moment i seen him.

well okay, i may have been full of rum and the beer googles were on but sure it all worked out in the end - eventually

SarahSassy

Im curious how - was there no BS about this 'who calls who first' etc etc Did it all just fall into place?

Xiney

I think people needlessly complicate relationships by deciding that men and women are "different" and it's "impossible to understand the other sex".

No.

Just, no.


People have interests in things, sometimes you share them and sometimes you don't. It'd be pretty boring to be with someone who has the exact same interests as you, because if so you'd never have a need to broaden your horizons. But it's also nice to have someone who you can talk to at length about what matters to you most - it's important to have a mix.

People like it when people are nice to them. Be nice to your partner, your friends, to strangers on the street. Don't be a gob sh*te and people will be nice to you back - your life will be much simpler.

Headgames are for people who want drama. If you want drama, go for the whole ridiculous "who should call who first" crap. Otherwise, just do what feels right - but don't fall into the trap of laziness where you just don't make contact because you're too busy. Make time for people.


Honestly, as humans, our needs are simple - to have a laugh, to feel appreciated. It's not a question of women and men or women versus men, it's just a question of whether you're any good at getting along with people.

Xiney, it's amazing how alike your post is to the text from some psychology text books, and yet people keep going out and buying the various dating strategy guide books, that are TBH the worse pieces of literary garbage there are, and wondering why following the advice in those books didn't work. Glad to hear you'd the sense to keep things simple and found someone to be happy with.:)

helimachoptor

Met my Gf on our first day in work together. Both of us were the new guys, havent looked back since!

I did most of the chasing as i think she thought I was a jack the lad :rolleyes:
But won her over after a while!

No bulls**t I liked her and I told her so

I have various theories on why people feel the need to fill up their lives with drama.

I think people need to spend more time developing their interests than attempting to model their lives off of those showcased on television

How Strange

Mr HS is a straight down the line kind of guy. When I met him he made it clear he was interested. He'd arrange a date to meet and that was that. It was the first guy in long time who didn't play stupid games. He's still exactly like that; if he has something to say he just tells it straight.

Iago

I met my wife in work, although when I first started working there I was seeing someone else. After that relationship ended I started picking up on signs that she was interested in me, we started dating and it was just perfect from the first date.

We got engaged within a couple of months and were married just over a year after starting to date. I'd had two long term (3 year+) relationships beforehand and I never felt as comfortable in them as I did within two dates with my wife. I knew inside the first two weeks that I was going to ask her to marry me, and luckily she said yes.

Gwenneh

We knew the moment we laid eyes on each other. It was something of an awkward situation; neither of us were looking for someone new, I was engaged and he was aware of that fact so being very cautious.

Nevertheless, we knew; despite the fact that we lived 3500 miles away from each other, we made it work. We met for the first time in March, had a long-distance relationship until that July (only seeing each other two times in between!), were engaged in October, and were married the following February. That was several years ago now and I've no doubt the choices I made were the right ones.

Sometimes, you just know.

NextSteps

Yep, I knew from the start that it was all good. Mind you, I was 18 and didn't have much of a base for comparison - but eleven years on it still feels all good.

Quality

Oh yeah, My Oh used to drink in the pub I worked in, I was only 15-16 at the time, and I used to tell my friends "He wants me!" And they used to be laughing at me, "yeah right". He was a fine bit of stuff...

I was down in the Big Tree one night, and I got talking to him and there was a definite buzz between us...He brought me home that night, And tbh I couldn't get rid of him after that.:) He told me he loved me after 3 weeks...

After almost 13 years together, He still makes me laugh, and I still get the flutters when I think about him. we are best mates, I trust him and love him...

No there was none of that - people seem to overcomplicate these things nowadays. You'd need a manual with all the rules there are now!

It was good from the start with my hubby, within a few months I knew he was the one - and we're married 25 years now

barbiegirl

I met my oh in work, I was there 3 months or so, he smiled at me over the lunch time poker session, the following night on a work night out we very drunkenly snogged and that was more or less that. Two techie geeks who were crazy about one another. No messing, no bulls**t just us. I've never been happier. Games are for kids and if he's right why mess about pretending he's not.

We both knew we liked each other from our first meeting, thanks to a mutual friend. He asked for my number, texted me, we met up for coffee in the afternoon and finished the "date" about 12 hours later a couple! Weird thing was he told me he never thought I'd show up

He told me he loved me within a week and I felt the same way, been together almost 3 years now - never been happier. We are still finding things we have in common and are lucky that way but there are lots of things that irritate me about him and vice versa. I don't know if I'm especially tolerant (doubt it) or if people are not willing to put up with stuff like that, but it's all part of it. You take the good with the bad for your friends and family members - why not with BFs and GFs?

16 years ago I met a girl that swept me off my feet, I didn't know what hit me. After a few weeks i acted the maggot, but the truth is that I was terrified, things were going way too fast. She moved to the states. I've generally been the local bollix since then.
Fate threw us together again last christmas. I know she's the one, she's the girl I've been judging others by ever since. She however is wary, a couple of failed relationships on her side and I've a lot of miles on the clock. This story isn't finished yet but I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

girliegirl

8 years ago i met my OH (Now my fiance) across a crowded nightclub, before that i had only gone for one night snogs etc etc and was loving the single life. Met him and totally changed (for the better)

Now still madly in love, and never looked back. He's perfect.

Well as some of you know I was with someone who just wasn't that in to me (fair enough, not his fault) and was dumped at the start of this year....a week later I met the most amazing guy. I knew instantly this was the man for me (have never said that before about anyone) and he feels the same way. It's almost 4 months now and we're both completely loved up and most importantly on the same page. I honestly think this is the one for me, have never felt this way about anyone before where I just feel that we're perfect for eachother. Anyone that knows us thinks the same.

Couldn't be happier, big shout out to the guy that dumped me in January because if he didn't I wouldn't have met the man of my dreams No issues, no drama, no mind games....it's great.


Fast forward 6 months when he breaks my heart probably. Ah no, this one's a keeper Best feeling in the world!

Reading that back I'm a sap. Boo :pac:

Just goes to show though that everything happens for a reason.

wandering_star

There will be,it sounds like a cliche, but sometimes it just takes time.
Or if you can't wait, hang out by your supermarket

I think I may have told this story here before, but here goes.

About 8 years ago I was working part-time in a supermarket near my house. One evening when coming home from work I met a group of lads, who for kicks were saying hello to random people seeing who'd say hello back (better than bricking yer gaff I guess, they were however slightly stoned, so not totally pillars of society, anyway). Me being afraid ****less of a big group of lads decided to say hello, and my OH was amongst the group. I didn't notice him instantly but as I got to know the guys and hung out with them several times he caught my eye, and I'd find myself thinking about him.

I started however to go with another one of the lads. However that ended up with a car crash-esque break up 2 years down the line, but even whilst going out with x guy I kept thinking about my current guy.

I knew that I loved him when one day, I met up a group of friends for a picnic and a kick-about in a park in town, and he was there with his then girlfriend. She was really alternative, not the sharpest pencil in the box mind, but very pretty, cool, and she was a good friend of my best friend's, so it was a no-go zone and I thought he'd never be interested in me as I'm not as cool as her, etc, etc. I just knew that I loved him though. I saw him with her, and it clicked, I'd been thinking about him all that time but never knew that I'd been thinking of him in a relationship-y way. I saw him with her, I saw how caring, how sweet, how great he was and just thought, that should be me.

A while later, after he broke up with her, we'd met each other at various different parties and nights out and exchanged numbers. A text message and a dance at a pub later, our lips met, and we've been with each other ever since..and that was nearly 5 years ago.

We've been through the best of times, we've been through the worst of times, in our own personal lives, but in all of it we've stuck with each other, helped each other out, been nothing but open and supportive, and I really can't imagine my life with out my man.

And how do I know he's the one? Well as someone's mam once put it to me, if you can fart in front of him, then you know yer on to something
(Not that me farting is a regular occurence. Ladies don't fart )

Meh, at the end of the day, what does the "one" really mean, as long as you're happy. And hey, polygamy isn't a crime, right... :P

Crash

Heh, actually only posting here because i'm desperately trying to avoid the last section of my thesis (due tomorrow at 3pm, joy) but here it goes.

My girlfriend was originally in the year ahead of me in college, was away on erasmus for a year and then thanks to a few things had to repeat in my year. She caught my eye when she first started attending lectures in my year, but me living on campus, always being out etc. meant that any time we talked I was usually hungover or somesuch and felt like an absolute tool because i was in no fit state to have a conversation and couldnt be in any way smooth or suave or anything.

So roll around the day before paddys day of last year, and I happen to go out with my brother and a friend of his for a few in town. Run into her and a few of her friends, all of one of her friends bail and i invite her and her friend out with us. Long story short, we shared a very drunken kiss that night, I walked her to a taxi, and the next day we arranged a date for the day after paddys. I nearly scuppered things there and then by being too afraid to cancel the date, and instead simply turning hungover to shreds. She still says that what saved my ass was the fact that about five minutes after we parted ways i texted her apologising and swearing I wasn't normally that useless

Since then, she's been instrumental in getting my life back on track in a lot of ways. I used never actually attend lectures, and started more and more simply because i wanted to see her. thanks to this, i started to enjoy my course again, have worked harder at it and brought my marks around a lot.

We've now been going out for a year and two months, and I love her to bits. We're travelling for 3 months together in the summer, and I can't wait. As much as she annoys or frustrates me sometimes, or I her, I can't think of anything except waking up every morning for 3 months with her beside me

anyway, there's my being a sap bit. Slán

OK stick with me on this one! I am 42 and lived in the UK for most of my life, I then joined the army at 16 and travelled extensively. Since I left in 1997 I have never been able to settle in one place for more than about 2 1/2yrs. I was living in the south west of the UK and my ex said just before xmas 2005 that we should split.

She still called me on the phone and we also still met for shopping/sex/drinks etc, she said she loved me but couldn't live with me. (strange I know) Well she basically threw me out of her house, but did support me as much as she could by giving me the train fare to cornwall for the weekend so I could stay with a friend. I then managed to get a place in a homeless hostel and she paid for my coach fare back.

I went to Ireland to visit some mates who had moved here a while ago. As I was a DJ they asked me to do a gig at a nightclub here. While I was in the pub having some drinks before the gig, I met a nice lady who was with her friend. She thought I was a bit flsh with my chinese silk shirt and bleached hair, (toned the hair down now, still wear the shirts though!) Anyway eventually her friend said here's her number call her!

So I did and we got on like a house on fire, in fact she used to call me mobile for hours every night, and we just started to click. Then one night I said I have a few week's when I don't have to sign on, and I will get my money early. So then I called her bluff and said I could come over. I was very surprised when she said she would send me the money for the plane fare! But she said she really wanted to see me.

She said she would be wearing blue tracksuit bottoms, and a red t shirt. When I got to the airport I couldn't see her. So I changed my money and went to the Vodafone shop for some credit. But the thing wouldn't go onto my phone and the guy said I could either try later or have a refund and try somewhere else. I said I was supossed to be meeting someone and needed to call them. I had a text bundle but it was only for UK numbers. So he said I could use the shop's phone.

I called my g/f ans she said she had just passed me! She was being bold! She wasn't wearing what she said so she could walk away if she didn't like the look of me! Anyway we found eachother and went back to her place. I wasn't planning on sleeping in the same bed as her, but we got on so well, it just happened. The rest is history as they say

Well I got thinking, 'what do i have in the UK? - nothing, my parents have passed away, my brother & sister don't speak to me, (lonnnggg story!), so why not move? When I got back to UK I went to my ex and said it was over and I was moving to Ireland to live. She tried to stop me and even told me the bus was cancelled and I would have to stay over at hers. But I had enough money to get a cab back to the hostel so that took the wind out of her sails. She was gushing at the bus stop and actually if I am honest so was I inside. I didn't look back as I didn't want to show my true feelings.

But really if I was honest we were using eachother, she would call me and say she was coming over and meet here for a drink etc. We should have split completly and that would have been better. When I came back to Ireland, (sounds like I lived here already!) I had my 40th birthday, my ex called me and told me that she was pregnant but she was going to tell me for my birthday. Yes I was disapointed as i do not have any children, but I don't think I am finacially or maturely stable enough to have them.

loopyloulou

Met my bf just after christmas this year, seen him in the pub and we made eye contact i thought he was sooo cute. Within about 2 mins he was over talking to me, got on great but at the time i was thinking that you never meet anyone decent in pubs etc so at the end of the night my friend had invited him back to her apartment and yes i slept with him...I was gutted cos i thought that was it now ill never hear from him, but the following day we spent the whole day together and it was just so comfortable!! Anyway, roll on the Wednesday of the following week and he txt me asking me out, i couldnt believe it. As others were saying, theres no bull****, no games we just get on so well, have such a laugh and for the first time in years im in love again and i actually cant believe my luck. Im sooo happy

BUSTED! LOL OK the lady I am with now I did meet at the nightclub, but didn't realise she was one of the ladies who replied to my txts! :eek: If you want the full story look here http://tinyurl.com/5jdt68 I actually couldn't remember where I posted my story, so I used the one on my Yahoo 360 page! Must go back and update it!

But at the end of the day, I'm happy, she's happy and that's what matters. She still hasn't told her brothers & sisters the truth, but who cares! I think these days with the internet, mobiles and TV people are not writing letters, or going to bars to make friends, it is so much easier to use technology.

I hope you all find what you are looking for and have a happy and long life

Met my girlfriend on boards actually !! I posted up a picture of myself in the KYN thread and she gave a little "Hello " to my photo, i was with someone else at the time she posted it but I didn't see it until that relationship was over. So I said I'd send her a pm, its nice to meet new people and I was a little flattered too We hit it off instantly and had conversations that went on for hours but one of the unfortunate things about our friendship was the physical distance as she is living in Cork and I'm in Dublin. We didn't let distance get in the way of being happy and we've been seeing each other since last february, but have been a couple for the past nine months now and I couldn't be happier

Love ya babeh !!

mollybird

well when people ask me when we met it's always a tricky one to answer. truth be told we kinda knew each other from my ex. he is friends with him but my ex never brought me out with his mates. (he kept me a secret for 4 years) but i knew of my OH. didn't think he was good looking but one day i saw him from their apt balcony and i just thought wow he looks good two months later when cork beat waterford in semi final i went out with him and my ex to get over another guy (very complicated i know) and on the dance floor i leaned up (he is 6,4 and im only 5ft) to say something and he snogged the face off me. we spent all night talking and he went to work with no sleep a few hours later. when he left me he never asked for my number and i wasn't bothered really as still getting over this other person so when he txt 3 days later i was happy. took it handy and never looked back since. 20 months later. he is the one for me. even when i get a txt from him 20 months later i still get the feeling of when we were first dating. it's crazy.

poukai

We were friends from the first minute we met, and I was definitely all love-eyed by the end of that first evening, but it took us a good 9 months to actually begin dating because we are both terminally shy. We are still best of friends, lovers, partners and now sponses, 10 years later, and we haven't had a single row in all that time. Loving every minute.

All of these stories would do the heart good Any more???

Pythia

We met one night and got talking, went to the cinema the next day (he suggested it, was happily surprised!).

He came over the next night, took the day off college the day after to spend more time with him, spent the weekend together and that was it really. The longest we've gone without seeing each other since is 2 days.

CathyMoran

I first spotted him in college and thought that he was cute, then a few months later he tried to chat me up for the societies week (he was auditor of one of the college societies). I said no as I had my Masters to think about that year. The following year I ended up dating his friend but on our first date he turned up and again tried to chat me up, 3 weeks later we were dating and while we had a lot of ups and downs since we are very happily married now (1 year 5 months today ). He first proposed after 7 months...

The longest that we were apart was 2 days until he had to go away to India to his brothers wedding (I wasn't well at the time), he proposed for the final time when he got back and we got married 3 months later, though we had been on the phone for an hour every day (thank you Skype!)

The thing that I learned from our relationship was that if someone is meant for you they will not pass you by. We had quite a few breaks in our time but we remained friends, we still are and he can always make me laugh. The song that reminds me of him is "Shes all good love in the once" by Robert Palmer. In fact when I heard it the other day after not hearing it in many years I started to cry as I always wanted to feel that way about someone and now I do with my hubby (we were staring into one anothers eyes at the time).

watna

My bf knew we'd be great together just after we met on St Patricks day through friends. I didn't think anything of the kind. He chased me (in the shyest, most laid back way you can!) for about 4 months. We'd meet up for drinks or dinner or if we met up at mutual friends houses he'd chat loads to me and as I got to know him more and realised that there could be something there. Just as I was getting to this stage his working holiday visa ran out. He was supposed to go back to NZ and that'd be that. He decided to throw caution to the wind and renew his visa (thank god he was in a situation where he could). He was in NZ for three weeks and I missed him so much I realised it really was something special and to give it a go.

We moved in together after 6 months and now over a year later I've moved over to New Zealand with him. All I can say is I'm really glad he decided I was worth staying in Ireland for and he renewed his visa! I agree with the other posters, it's hard to explain, when you know, you know!

EDIT: This thread is lovely, but we really are all such saps at heart!

scoot on

Met my boyfriend online years ago when chat rooms were the in thing. At the time when you logged into this particular chat room it showed where your ip address was logged. We noticed that we were both from Ireland so started yapping online. We talked online for about a year, then started phoning each other. I was very young so wasn't inclined to meet up with anyone off the net. We used to have such fun on the phone. He made me laugh so much that by the end of the phone calls my cheeks would actually hurt. Eventually he persuaded me to meet him and I was smitten. We didn't even kiss the first time we met but I knew I was mad about him. I was still too young for a very serious relationship though and he knew it. We talked online and on the phone even more after that and met up a few months afterwards. He bought me the most gorgeous present the 2nd time we met. Our social lives took over a small bit after that and we didn't talk as much but I phoned his house one day to find out he was in hospital. I didn't want to go in incase I bumped into his family but he rang me that night and said I was the only one he wanted to talk to while he felt like crap. After that he was off work for a while so we talked even more. We met up in my local as soon as he felt better and we've been glued to each other ever since. Everyone that knows us say that we're the perfect couple. We very rarely get sick of each other. We have such a laugh together. We're together 7 years now. We must have started talking to each other about 9 years ago. It's scary really that it's been that long!

Well as some of you know I was with someone who just wasn't that in to me (fair enough, not his fault) and was dumped at the start of this year....a week later I met the most amazing guy. I knew instantly this was the man for me (have never said that before about anyone) and he feels the same way. It's almost 4 months now and we're both completely loved up and most importantly on the same page. I honestly think this is the one for me, have never felt this way about anyone before where I just feel that we're perfect for eachother. Anyone that knows us thinks the same.

Couldn't be happier, big shout out to the guy that dumped me in January because if he didn't I wouldn't have met the man of my dreams No issues, no drama, no mind games....it's great.


Fast forward 6 months when he breaks my heart probably. Ah no, this one's a keeper Best feeling in the world!

Reading that back I'm a sap. Boo :pac:

Just goes to show though that everything happens for a reason.

Aw that's excellent Clare. I remember your posts about being dumped and I was very struck by how heartbroken you were, so when you started talking about a boyfriend really shortly afterwards I was wondering if you had got back with him or something. Yeah, if ever there was proof needed that things happen for a reason... well that's just a perfect example.

I met my girlfriend through a couple of friends. But we didn't go out untill two years into our friendship. But I'd always liked her but didn't know how to send the message (Apart from a few drunken texts) and apparently she was the same. So we were both there liking each oher but too afraid to do anything about it till one night when 5 or 6 of us were all going out and *apparently* we were flirting with each other like mad! (I was informed by a friend)
So her girl friends started talking and eventually persuaded her that I really did like her and that night SHE asked me out.
And the next day we met up in town and to this day it was the best day of my life and I'll never forget it. Although our first kiss was ruined by a mate :rolleyes:
We've been together for one year and 4 months now and I've only just turned 18 :pac: Madness!
I'm always being slagged because apparently we'll end up married! But to be honest if things stay as good as they are now I wouldn't be complaining one bit!
