As for me ~ no lifelong love, Boo~Hoo, Sniff, sniff and all that… <br />I’ve had a few ‘almost-not-quite’ loves in my day. I’m 57, still single and still hoping, LOL. Meanwhile, I have many romance novels to read and then I dream!

We all hung out at the pub, then went back to Kyle's place to watch some films. Me and Matt were not clicking that way--we're both too sarcastic, too cynical to really 'click'--but Kimmi and Kyle kept <i>trying</i>. In fact Kyle said only 3 words to me all night "Here's a cuddlefish".<br /><br />Kimmi goes off to Japan to be with her BF for Valentine's Day (he was stationed in Osaka) but she told the guys to take care of me since I usually spent Valentine's Day doing nothing. We all get together and surprising Matt got me two gifts--a plushie and chocolate. Kyle got me nothing. I got them chocolate roses. At the end of the night when we have to drive home, Kyle is worried about me. He orders me to instant message him when I got home.<br /><br />The next two weeks we spoke on IM, he invited me over three times (had to rescue me all three times, since I got horribly lost on the way to his house) and on Feb 29th, the day Kimmi came back from Japan and we were having a party for her, he finally kissed me. I asked him why he waited and he told me that he wasn't sure I liked him since I never wanted to hug him, hold his hand, kiss his cheek...<br /><br />We've been together 6 years now :D<br /><br />Lexie C.Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997726505496899916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565893280908397886.post-35713112831045886372010-02-21T10:14:19.081-05:002010-02-21T10:14:19.081-05:00Mine was very mundane, met him in the pub :)

I saw him compete and fell in love with him immediately, but he was older than me and I assumed nothing would come of it. I told my best friend about it, but swore her to secrecy (which she ignored). I had gone off to change clothes in my her mum's car, and Meg sent him looking for me. And when he found me, he tried to give me a hug (because she told him I needed one), but I was so caught off-guard (or so twitterpated) that my knees buckled and I fell backwards and he fell on top of me--full kilt dress and all. Right then, my friend's mum came out and found us like that and hustled us all away, saying what a mean and nasty boy that was. Haha. It makes me laugh just to think about it. <br /><br />We started writing letters after that, and I've been in love with him since I was 13 years old. And 18 years later, he still makes my knees buckle. :-)<br /><br />Ah, Happy Valentine's Day! :-)Gossip Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606755973767030017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565893280908397886.post-72944517215605378482010-02-14T12:42:19.763-05:002010-02-14T12:42:19.763-05:00I can't remember if I've shared this story...I can't remember if I've shared this story with you before, Elaine, but here goes. When I was working at the local paper, the graphic designer told me her ex-brother-in-law had won tickets to a Britney Spears concert from a Pepsi bottle cap. Rather than go to the concert -- with all those screaming kids -- he opted to take the cash prize instead. She thought it would be a great story for the paper, so I agreed to interview him. The rest, shall we say, is history! That was in 2002 and we were married in 2003!LuAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049897327581610278noreply@blogger.com
