Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
Been married 5 months and 1 day. We met online on a forum, and after talking to each other every day for three and a half years, we finally met. I live in the US and he lived on an island in Africa, so that's a huge part of why it took so long. Afterward I spent a few months visiting him and his family, and then we began the visa process for him to come here so we could be together. That took half a year, then we had to go to Kenya for him to do an interview, and he finally came to the US in April of this year.

Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I have a girlfriend, lol (Yes I'm a girl too btw). We've been dating for almost 4 months now and it's been on and off. We'd break up, get back together, break up, get back together...god it was a mess but recently something sort of tragic happened in our lives and we decided that it was the time to really need each other for support and in that time, all our old feelings came back and yeah, haha. I'll always love her even if we do break up for good.
Anyway, we met through mutual friends at school.

I'm 22 and I've never had a boyfriend or been asked on a date. :-/
Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I have a husband. We've been married since July. We met at a party 7 years ago and started dating 6 years ago (the date was 2 days before our wedding anniversary).

Moved out to California and we lived there for for about 4 years and then we moved to Victoria BC in 2009 and we have been here since.
Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I have a boyfriend of almost 3 years. We met on OKCupid.com. If any of you have ever been on OKC, you would know that they have a feature where you can see who's viewed your profile. I saw that he had viewed mine, but said nothing- I ended up taking initiative and we ended up talking all night, up until the next morning. He lived a half hour away but we ended up going on a date 2 weeks later (I went back home to visit my parents, he was in his finals of his first semester of law school)
Anyways, he picked me up, opened the car door, and I knew that was it (I had been in a 2 year relationship almost a year prior and my then-bf had no car, no license, was 29, lived with his mom, no education, and had a 2 year old) No, I['m kidding, but our date went really well. We talked about his school, I talked about my struggle to find work as a cosmetologist, fav music, things to do, etc.
That night, we went back to his place to watch a movie and....well yeah After that, we were actually still talking and hanging out a lot and were pretty much 'in like' with eachother.
Well needless to say, he was actually going to be leaving town in a couple of weeks to go to Hawaii . He asked me to go, but I declined because I felt it was too soon to do anything, we weren't even bf/gf yet.
While he was in Hawaii, I guess we both realized how much we liked eachother because after he came back, our title came to be.
We've been living together since last July and it's been awesome. I can't wait for the future.

Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
Aw, met my boyfriend on a forum too for a game four years ago. Been in an LDR with him for two years now. Moving to his state for my last two years of college because I absolutely detest my current state!Sonia wrote:Been married 5 months and 1 day.

Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
Wow more people met online than I expected to see. I couldn't do something like that...the possibilities freak me out
No boyfriend, no husband...I hate the word crush, but there are two guys that I'm interested in at the moment. One I'm really interested in, but he's never been the 'girlfriend' type, doesn't want to get married, doesn't want to have kids, etc. I've known him for almost 8 years and he's had one short-lived relationship since we met, but we have a weird friendship. There's attraction on both sides and we'd be great together...but I don't want to be just another fling and I don't think he has any desire to have an actual relationship. Both of our friends have been trying to push us together for a year or so now...they're getting irritated. But there's nothing I can do about it.
And the other guy...we've been friends for a few years and he's always had a thing for me. I had a huge crush on him when I was in middle school, but he was quite a few years older than me, so we didn't really even talk until a few years after I graduated HS. We sort of dated for a while back in 2010, but I wasn't into him at all anymore. He was a little clingy and I didn't want to deal with that. The other day I found out that he's been hanging out with another girl--we both know her--and got jealous. Weird, but I thought maybe I might be into him again...so we just recently started talking again and maybe I'll see if this goes anywhere...

Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I've been with my fella for almost 8 years; we met on an online forum during the disintegration of my second marriage (which lasted 10 years).
Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I met my fiancé 12 years ago on a Zelda fan forum. About 8 years back we met again on another Zelda forum and became casual acquaintances. Six years ago we got really close and became best friends, and around 3-4 years ago we started dating (we went official in october of 2009 but that was more or less admitting a relationship that had already been there for six months, not agreeing to date). We were close friends but because of a five and a half year age difference we didn't think anything could ever happen. When things did he suggested backing off and I suggested dating other people. I dated a guy when I was 14-16 years old who turned out to be a complete arse. He dated two other women who bother turned out to be nuts (one dated him solely for his money!). Through those other relationships we were still friends.
When I was 17 I was living on my own and going to college as a minor, so things got complicated. Technically any sort of relationship was illegal, so we kept a lid on it. Further complicating matters was the fact that we only saw each other once a year at a yearly forum meet-up. He lived on the others side of the country from me (I lived in NJ, he in Seattle) and our relationship was mostly online. Two months shy of my 18th birthday we told friends about it, and then after I turned 18 we told family. He already knew my dad and my dad worships him so that wasn't an issue, though his parents were less than thrilled.
While I was still in school we took turns visiting each other every other month. It was costly and hard. Eventually after a year I transferred out to the west coast and it turned out that I LOVE it here. We moved in together mostly because apartments out here are expensive and he already owned a townhouse. We stayed in separate bedrooms for awhile and I paid rent, until we invited another friend to move in with us.
He proposed to me on my 19th birthday using a scavenger hunt that lead me through the woods in the snow. He turned it into a quest (like in video games). We planned to have a long, four year engagement but family took over and pushed it up to two years. At first I did get judgment from strangers for getting engaged so young, and a lot of people thought I was pregnant (even though I'm not). I ignored it and now those strangers think we're awesome. Family didn't care that much because I've lived on my own for as long as he has and I spent two years living alone with no roommates (same as him) before moving in with him. He's 26 and I'm almost 21.
I feel as though we could be together for years without getting married and it wouldn't matter. We're fine just the way we are. But we're also committed and marriage to us means something different than it does to other people. I always feel like I have to justify it but at the end of the day I really shouldn't have to, some people marry at 30 and others marry at 50 and some marry at 20 and that's just the way life is. There is no "right" way. I guess for us the difference is that I may be 20, but I paid for my car in cash (cash I saved up and earned), pay for my own car insurance, bills, etc and could easily afford an apartment on my own if I so chose that route. Most 20 year olds can't say that.
He's my best friend though, a real teammate. We're both introverts and we both really respect each other. He is the most honest, do-good, well-intentioned man I have ever met. He makes me laugh and doesn't have an ounce of pride in his body. He's not easily embarrassed by silly things and will put himself out there as long as it means getting a smile out of me. He fully supported me in my decision to leave school and become a horse trainer (which resulted in me making no money at all for six months... it was rough yet he unquestioningly supported me through all of it and never held it against me). He's just fantastic. We'll be together for many more years.

Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I'm currently single, which I honestly prefer to being in a relationship. I guess I'm just weird, because I don't like being in a full-on relationship - it makes me feel sort of smothered. I don't mind it when it's a casual sort of relationship but I don't like the commitment, lovey-dovey, clingy sort of stuff. So yeah, I guess I'm a bit of a freak regarding that stuff...
To answer the other part, I don't really have a crush on anyone. There's a guy in one of my tutes I kind of like, but I wouldn't consider it to be a crush.

Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I had a boyfriend for three years but broke up with him a while ago. I kinda have a thing going on with a guy who is basically perfect for me, it's a long-distance thing but oh well. We're not really 'official' or anything yet.

Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I have been married since August. We met in college and have been best friends since. It is a sort of long story, but our significant others at the time cheated on us with each other and it sort of brought us together as friends and then eventually as a couple. I actually transfered not too long after we became offical so we were long distance. He was a year older and when he graduated he took a job in Chicago while I was still in school. It wasn't my plan to do grad school where I did undergrad, but I did so that meant even longer in a long distance relationship. We didn't end up living in the same area again until I finished grad school and we moved where we live now. The long distance was really hard at first, but it got easier and easier. Of course ours was a bit different because we made sure that we saw each other at least 2 weekends out of the month if not every weekend since we were only 6 hours apart.
The only problem we had was last Decemeber, we broke up for about 2 weeks but I think deep down we knew things would work out and we got back together and engaged. The reason we even broke up was because he wanted to get engaged and married and I didn't. During the two weeks we were split up I guess I did some deep thinking and realize that I really did want to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him. Best decision I have ever made! ha
We were going to have a long engagement at first, but I didn't want to wait. It was like once I was engaged the wedding and baby fever hit me like a ton of bricks. We also wanted to make sure that we were married before his grandfather was too bad off to come to a wedding.

Re: Do you guys have a crush/boyfriend/husband?
I have a boyfriend and we will have been dating two years next month. We met at work and I wasn't even looking to date anybody but I just knew there was something about him. He's a truly wonderful person and brings the best out in me. Neither of us are romantic or expect a lot from the other, it's been a very easy going relationship which is exactly what I wanted. He's indirectly helped me grow up a lot.
I love him and I can see myself being with him for years to come.
