12 “how we met” stories that will restore your faith in true love

By EverAfter

A dozen meet-cutes better than a Kate Hudson rom-com.

We all love to read romantic novels, listen Kindle love stories or to watch romantic movies. They are the perfect leap of faith to get out of your usual dating rut. At some point in the relationship almost every couple is asked "So how did you did you two meet?“ So here we grabbed our pens and put together these ‘How We Met’ stories that will restore your faith in true love.

I met my husband at a gay bar. I looked at this guy with this beautiful beard and I thought, I’m going to marry that man.

It was the WEIRDEST thing! It was like every bone in my body directed me toward him.

Time literally SLOWED DOWN! I walked over to him and said, ‘Can I touch your beard?’

That was February 2008, and we got married in September of that same year. Seven years later, I have never doubted for any moment that I married my soulmate. And I know how lucky I am. Can you imagine? I LOOKED at this man, and some weird force that is so much more powerful than myself moved me to him.

The first time I saw him, we were sitting at the gate for our flight to Chicago. I remember glancing over at him and thinking, Oh, wow, he’s cute. When I got to my seat, I saw that the seat beside me was empty and thought, How awesome would it be if he sits next to me?

A family in his row wanted to sit together so he had to take the empty seat beside me.

We spent the entire flight discussing everything.

He asked for my number & we went our separate ways. A few months later, he sent me a message ‘Happy New Year.’ We hit it off like nothing ever changed.

I met my longtime boyfriend at an autopsy of a heroin addict. I fainted and he offered me crackers and it has now been five years and we are still happily in love.

I met my American husband in Alexandria, Egypt. He was traveling with some friends. We met in the hotel lobby than we went out to dinner that night but I had to leave the next day to go back to Cairo. But my return trip had been delayed by bad weather.

Two days later we’re on the same bus! We had an extra six hours to get to know each other. We were long-distance for the next year and a half, then I moved to America.

We got married last year and are still blissfully happy! You never know where you’ll find the one you’re meant to be with!

One mild February Texas night, I left the door open because I was waiting for a late date to arrive. While I waited, an adorable Lhasa Apso ran into my apartment, followed by an equally adorable silver fox of a guy.

We talked forever. Two months passed until an actual first date, which was the WORST either of us had ever had. Long story short, we were engaged five weeks later and married in March, a year after we met. (The other guy missed his chance. I can’t even remember his name.)

My car broke down during rush hour… I was standing helpless on the sidewalk looking desperately at my car. All I could do was laugh it off.

He saw me laugh from his vehicle and asked me why I was laughing if my car broke down. My answer? ‘I have two options: Be upset or be happy. I chose to be happy and laugh.’ So he pulled over and helped me with my car, and we became really good friends.

Two years later, we finally realized we’re in love… and looking forward to laughing off our problems.

My husband and I met at our karate studio in 2002. I was 10 and he was 15.

We trained in different age groups but knew each other most of our lives. We both black-belted and became instructors and that is when we started to get to know each other. We got married last December!

We met online, but not online dating or any means of hooking up. We were both battling with depression, and we found each other in a chatroom for those looking to talk to others.

It started from talking to one another in the chatroom to sending private messages whenever we saw each other online. It wasn’t until we exchanged Skype information that we started talking daily for hours on end.

While we’ve yet to meet face-to-face, we video chat with each other and send frequent video messages as well as continue to chat daily.

We were both auditioning for roles in a musical adaptation of School House Rock! I was on crutches because of a devastating break-dancing incident, but I still got up and belted Grease’s ‘Hopelessly Devoted.’

He followed my audition by singing ‘Moon River’ and looking absolutely intriguing in a shirt. We both got the parts and spent the next few months getting to know each other while singing about the correct usage of adjectives and ‘I’m Just a Bill.’

The last night of the show he taught me how to stage kiss and that was it.

It was wartime in Britain and they were in the same factory in Nottingham making IFF sets. One day a group of ladies who worked there came in late, still with their coats on and dripping water everywhere, and the foreman angrily ordered them to take their coats off. They all did, barring one.

My grandpa’s friend went over to chat to them later, and then came back and said triumphantly: ‘Seven o’clock. Saturday night. In the square. You’re going on a date!’ My grandpa, a bit nonplussed, said, ‘OK, but which one did you ask?’ ‘The one who didn’t take her coat off, of course,’ she replied.

It was freshman year of high school. I was sitting on the bus going home. Someone tapped me on the shoulder — I turned around and there he was. He said, ‘Excuse me, do you like pie?’

Out of surprise I blurted out, ‘Yes.’ He then asked, ‘What kind?’ I answered, ‘Blueberry pie.’ He said thank you and turned around. That was it! He only wanted to know my pie preference.

We started dating a year and a half later.

Twelve years later we are married, and I’m sitting next to my daughter watching cartoons :-)

I believe I was around 3 years old. Some say that’s too young, but we didn’t care.

Chocolate and I have been inseparable ever since.
