She was over from Ireland visiting her Aunt that lived in my street. We were both 15 and I fancied her straight away. We became friends and the next summer when she came over I asked her out. The following summer she came back to go to an English University in my hometown (what a coincidence).
We met at work--I was tending bar, he worked in the kitchen. I was instantly attracted to him and sparks flew. The rest all came in time.
Eight months later he got an opportunity to live and work in Spain and asked me to come along. I did, despite most people in my life telling me that was crazy, it was too soon, it would never last, etc. But it was the first of many adventures we've had together and I'm so glad I wasn't afraid to take that leap.
We met online. She was an interesting person to exchange messages with but I wasn't really sure how well we would've gotten along. When we met in real life there was definitely chemistry but nothing that blew my mind. I left our first date without being head over heels, but still thinking that this could really be a life-changer. So I guess the flame really didn't get hot for a couple weeks, but I'd always known there would be something deeper worth exploring.
To this day that flame has been repeatedly tested by circumstances beyond our control. It doesn't burn as hot as it once did because we are still reeling from our situation, but it has never burned so bright. It will heat up again very very soon, I'm absolutely positive of that.

Where in Spain did you live? Love that country, prolly going back for a visit soon.
We met in High School at the senior banquet. My best friend had just started dating his best friend and we met up with them there.
We went to school together all through high school but never crossed paths until our senior year. We had a large school and we were just never on the same side of the building.
The first time I lay eyes on him, I knew he was the one. Yup, there were definitely sparks...I HAD to know him. He was very shy and very quiet so it was hard to guage whether he was interested. The following morning my friend and I planned on going to the beach so she called her boyfriend to invite him. He asked if he could bring his friend (my husband) because he really wanted to see me again...so I guess he was interested.
Funny though, we dated over that summer and he told his friends he was going to dump me before he went away to college because he didn't want to be tied down (I didn't find this out until much later). I guess I was just that special....lol, because he never did dump me.
He left for school, I stayed home and we maintained a long distance relationship for 2yrs. I eventually transferred to a school about 30 minutes from his. We got engaged in our Junior year and were married the Nov. after graduation.
Slow flame, we met in 1998 through work, I was a shift manager and he delivered fuel to the truck stop I managed and he was married, I was not. Lost touch after he changed companies and I left the truck stop. Ran into each other at a little diner and stayed in touch on and off. His ex filed for divorce in 2003, kicked him and his dog out of the house and him and the dog moved into my basement, still just friends though and the basement thing was temporary. After about a year (give or take a few months) he moved upstairs, we became we, got married in 2006 and next month it will be our 6th anniversary.
