Their eyes met across the crowded room ….
Is that really how it all began for you? How did you meet your ‘significant other’?
I’d love to get some romantic reading ready for Valentine’s Day and that’s where I need your help. Was it love at first sight when you met your partner or did you need a bit more convincing? What’s the most romantic thing anyone’s ever done for you? What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for anyone else?
If you’ve got a gloriously romantic, or even humourous, story about how you met, about a lost love, about a romantic holiday, a romantic evening, how someone won your heart, or even how you’ve kept love alive through the years, I’d love to hear about it. Maybe you’ve got a great story about a romantic evening that went horribly or humourously wrong.
Can you remember the moment when you first knew for sure that you were in love? How did you feel during your first real kiss?
If you have a blog, why not write a post with your romantic story and then let me know in the comments section of this post? If you don’t have a blog just leave your story in the comments.
On Wednesday, which is Valentine’s Day, I’ll post links to any stories that are submitted.
I’m looking for fun and romance, not intimate details, so keep it clean and get writing.

i’ll write about some of the things i did soon! 🙂
i think the most romantic thing someone’s ever done would have to be when my fiance proposed (http://mywordsatrandom.blogspot.com/search?q=better+day+than+i+expected).
it wasn’t love at first sight at all when we met. he was just another guy i was working with. after 9 months of working at a year round residential camp together we finally decided we were more than friends (i think he decided this a few weeks before me and i definately needed some convicing. i’m glad he convinced me though– its been worth it!!)
I met my wife when we were both nurses at our local hospital. She was in charge of the ward but when I first arrived she was on holiday. The staff spent two weeks bitching about the dragon in charge but when I saw her I fell for her straight away.
I suppose in our case our eyes met across a bed and the rest was history!
See I mentioned bed and it wasn’t smutty.
Incidentally we celebrate twenty years in June.
I have lots of romantic stories but the one that had the most impact was a ?love at first site?. I was 19, he was 25. I walked passed him, our eyes met, and that was it. It lasted only 6 months but was the most romantic relationship I?ve ever had ? the whole thing was like scenes out of movies!
I don?t believe in love at first site anymore ? but I do believe that you can have such a strong attraction to a person that it would cause you to swim through shark infested waters to pursue the relationship because you believe that love is possible.
My latest love is an example of love at no site ? I have not met him in person, but I love him very much. He lives in Melbourne (yep he’s one of yours!) and we?ve been talking for 7 months. Its obviously complicated because of the distance and a few other things. But I firmly believe you can fall in love with someone through communicating. In some ways the way I feel about him is even more ?real? because it hasn?t been affected by touching, kissing, etc. Once that enters the picture ? ALL my senses fly out the window. This way, I know it?s the person I care for, not just the way he makes me feel or the physical attraction.
PS I fixed your link! So sorry, I updated my Bloglines months ago but never my links list!
My boyfriend and I have been together almost four years, and were best friends for a long time before we fell in love. And, in truth, he fell in love first — which scared the hell out of me. I did everything I could to stop it and push him away, but he was tenacious. One day, after an emotional phone call in which I told him that I would never feel anything romantic toward him, he said, “I have to believe you’ll change your mind.” I did. He’s my soul mate and I can’t imagine being with anyone else.
For me, in my relationship, romance is about the little things: the way he makes me coffee every morning when we’re together, or how he automatically reaches for my hand whenever we’re out together; it’s how we always laugh together, how we “get” each other in ways no one else does, and how he loves me wholly and completely.
I have PCOS, a condition which causes my hair to fall out, so I wear a wig. When I first got up the guts to tell him, and then show him, it was a frightening moment for me — but he reacted by kissing my head (sans the wig) and telling me that I’m even more beautiful without it. And he means it, as he’s proven for years.
I have a bit of a sweet Valentine’s Day story, too, which I posted on my blog today. Have a look if you’d like.
