Has anyone here ever
- Fallen head over heels in love with someone they met at first sight
- Actually hooked up with the person
- Are still with them?
Bonus) Used the corny phrase “What are you doing for the rest of your life?” with that person.
The first time I met him, I knew my husband was the guy I would spend the rest of my life with. I saw him at Rocky Horror in May of 1984 when I was seventeen. I had aquaintences in the cast and was able to finagle an introduction. In November of 1985 we were married, and we remain married, quite happily, to this day.
a)Yes
b)Yes
c)No
Bonus)Of course not, I’m not that cheesy. 
But, I did fall madly in love with a guy whose first words to me were “Wow, you’re the skinniest girl I’ve ever seen.” He meant it in a good way, I think…
In Junior High School, I fell in love with Angie. Fell hard from the moment I laid eyes on her. To this day, I cannot think of her and not hear Mick Jagger singing that song in my head. :Angie, AAAAAngie: Absolutely beautiful, an angel.
I did hook up with her. We had a wildy romantic, sex filled 4 months together. Then she dumped me. She claimed it was because of all the drugs I was doing and the seedy people I hung around with and my occaisonal brushes with the law, but I have my doubts.
I can still see her face…
I have never experienced love at first sight. I don’t really think it exists. That phenomonon is probably more like infatuation at first sight, which I have definitely experienced.

Never used a cheesy line though.
I met my SO back in March and it was love at first sight. I was dating someone else at the time we met and it took me awhile to break up with the other person (mainly because I’m bad at breaking up with people and didn’t want to hurt him). Once I broke up with the other guy my SO and I moved in together and got engaged 2 months later. I never believed in love at first sight until I met him. Usually it was lust at first sight and it didn’t last. But there’s a big difference between love and lust.
I’ve never been happier either.

Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her.

When I first met her, it was through friends and I obviously thought she was attractive, and she simarly thought the same of me, as we went out on a date. After that first date, I just knew.
You see I am a jaded cynical cuss, I can’t allow myself to make important judgements about people based on metaphysics, or whatever. But as we talked (sitting on a stoop in the Old Port of Portland ME, drinking coffee for 3 hours) I just knew she was the one for me. We’ve been married for a year now.
Bonus) No, and I never asked her if she was tired because she’d been running through my mind all day, either.

May 1972, He was standing outside a store beside my father’s apartment. He was wearing a white t-shirt and navy blue cordoroy bell bottoms. He was so beautiful it made my heart hurt just to look at him and when he smiled at me I melted.
I was 15 and he was 18.
We are still madly in love.
I like Daivd Gate’s , of Bread fame, story.
Heard him doing an interview on the radio couple of years ago.
He was telling the story of his first big hit.
When he was in high school or maybe it was college there was this one girl… trouble was she was already going steady with a friend, so he decided to write a song for her.
He cut a demo and got it played on the local station, who were so impressed they kept playing it.
Enter a recording contract and it became a hit frist statewide and finally nationally.
She was so impressed she fell for him…and they’re still married, must be thirty years now.

I first saw him 9/16/74 at about 11 am. Despite all sorts of reasons to think otherwise (mostly to do with my background and age at the time), I knew he was special. My actions then were completely out of character for a shy, repressed and insecure 17 year old. There were a many reasons we could not be involved, and we were not at the time. We became friends, and I thought I hid my crush. In retrospect, no one was fooled!
Over many years, we remained sporadically in touch. I never forgot him, but my life was full of other things and lessons I needed to learn. The same was true of him, so that the occasional note was all we did for a long time. But then I got divorced. I was rethinking my life and reading old journals, trying to sort out the errors I’d made and plan for a future which would avoid the same mistakes. He was in so many places, and I started to realize how much of a friend he had really been to me – when it would have been easier to make others choices. Also, I realized that it was the first time in 20 years he didn’t know where I lived.
I didn’t know where he was either, but the gods intervened. In my sorting through my stuff I found an old address book that had his mothers address. I thought about it for several days, and then one afternoon a song on the radio brought me to tears… and I sat down and wrote a letter. I told him what I remembered, and thanked him for all he had been to me when no one else had taken the time. I explained the influence he had on me and told him some of what had been going on with me. I mailed it before I could have second thoughts and rewrite it to remove the emotion (and half the truth.)
He called two days later – he was visiting his mother when my letter arrived; back in the area for the first time in several years. We talked – and the old rhythm was there in no time. I did not expect anything more than that… to have reconnected with my dear friend was the biggest treat I expected. Eventually we found time to meet – and when I first saw him again I knew that the crush had never gone away. Can you have a crush for 20 years? In my case, it seemed to be so.
I left myself open for whatever would happen, but tried not to have any expectations… after all, I never could be sure he saw things the way I did. Turned out he did – and the first time he kissed me was as magical as any moment I have experienced. That was 1995, and we are still together. We are having some troubles, and sometimes I am not sure we will find a way through them – but I can’t bring myself to give up on the best thing that ever happened to me. For those of you who pray, please send your thoughts our way. I still believe…
- Yes, at a party about Thanksgiving of 1979
- Yes, that very evening. We necked a little on the floor.
- We stayed in touch off and on for about 3 years, and then suddenly got real serious. She moved in with me for a year, we bought a house, and got married. Just celebrated anniversary # 16 a couple of months ago.
casdave, what song was it - “Baby I’m a Want You?”

Sassy, great story, it sounds like something you’d hear from Casey Kasem on AT40. Hang in there, it sounds like this is something worth working hard for.

Yes, for 4+ years…
Maeglin, I love you!
She was my neighbor in my first year of college. We passed in the hallway. She said hello, but I was too nervous to do anything but smile wrily. Needless to say, I didn’t have a whole lot of experience with girls in the past.
But she was different. Smart, funny, kind…not to mention absolutely gorgeous.
Two months later we were sharing my tiny little dorm single.
Four and a half years later, we’re still sharing.
I love you too, MerrySquirrels!
