These couples fromAsk Reddithave THE cutest love stories.
Derek Thomson
1.I was waitressing, he came in all the time with his friends.
I didnt have any of his contact details.
Next night he came in, I guess we both had the same idea.
He asked me before I could.
Hes the love of my life.
2.Way back in 1980, I was working in south FL.
A guy I worked with was retiring soon and had purchased a vacation cabin in north GA.
I remarked she was very attractive.
So this gorgeous brunette walked up to me, put a gin-and-tonic in my hand, and introduced herself.
4.I saw him in the grocery store, and I thought he was handsome.
I approached him in frozen foods as he was looking at a 5 lb.
bag of chicken nuggets.
We are married with 4 year old twin boys now.
:) 10/10 would recommend approaching a handsome stranger in the supermarket.
I was watching my good girl friend at the time play.
Game ends and I go down to the field to congratulate her.
Having a pair of balls and saying fuck it can either pay off tremendously or back fire horribly.
6.I am a Match.com commercial for the wife.
I had sent her a message after her account expired.
7.We were both character performers at Disney.
Moved half-way across the country to be with her.
I always wanted a nerdy-gamer girl for a girlfriend and I got my wish.
Totally worth the move.
After wafting through about 2 years of bullshit, failed dates, ghosting, etc I messaged this girl.
I hit her with some really corny dad joke and she did reply and laughed.
We got to talking, eventually agreed to meet up for a beer.
We agreed going in that wed start with just a beer and lay everything out on the table.
If either of us wanted to cancel the date we would, no hard feelings.
A beer turned into two, turned into dinner.
That turned into a second date, then a third.
The first year turned into a second, then a third.
Now were engaged and just booked a wedding venue.
10.That bitch t-boned me.
She said shed let me take her to dinner if we didnt get the insurance involved.
Having typed that out, I now see I got fucked that day on so many levels.
I was supposed to have a party for all people at the job.
My heat went out that day so I had to cancel.
She didnt get the message and showed up.
Asked her if she wanted to take some shots of of Jack Daniels and get warm.
Twelve years later still taking shots and getting warm on a regular basis!
Didnt get a good look at her before I plopped down beside her and said hi.
She turned and smiled and I immediately thought, Oh hell.
She is way out of my league.
Turns out I got her on the rebound nearly 32 years ago.
Still out of my league.
13.I was at a birthday party for a friend.
He was the friend of my friends boyfriend.
We hit it off right away.
14.We were both in a psychiatric hospital.
Weve been together almost 13 years.
I was there for depression and anxiety, he was there to avoid a homeless shelter.
I know it sounds crazy, but it kinda works out for us.
Weve gotten in a much better financial situation.
The rest is history!
16.We all met up at the home of a mutual friend to go to a festival together.
I arrived first and was told to pop swing open the door when she knocked.
She saw me and said Youre notmutual friend!
We drunkenly hooked up at the party later that night and are now happily married with children.
17.I was sitting in the parking lot at a gas station.
He parked his truck on the corner where you arent supposed to park.
I yelled at him.
We had a few classes together and he kept staring at me from afar.
That was almost 9 years ago and weve been married for almost 5 years.
Hes the best thing to ever happen to me…
19.Reddit, actually!
We were placed in the same fitness group and really hit it off.
3.5 years later, were planning our wedding.
Neither of us felt particularly like talking but somehow we didnt stop talking once we started.
We exchanged numbers and kept messaging /talking back and forth and started dating not quite a month later.
That fateful train ride was 4 years ago.
21.First day of grad school, she was sitting behind me and I was typing on my iPad.
We are now happily married and typing on my iPad is much easier.
22.In the work break room.
Married almost 12 years now, Im still bossy but his cooking skills have improved.
23.I had a coworker who set me up on a blind date with his sister in law.
It was a bbq at his house.
And speaking of eyes, hers were magical.
So bright and when she smiles, her entire face lit up.
Unfortunately this was his wife.
Her sister was nice but not for me.
I thought about the guys wife almost every day.
But I never acted on my feelings.
A couple of years later, he got divorced and she called me.
She had been thinking about me, too.
We dated for 3 months and got married.
18 years later, still going strong.
And dat ass… mmm mmmm mmm.
24.She was the first person to get in my cab the first day I started driving cabs.
Were still married 25 years later.
25.We both worked part time at Macys while going to school.
Unbeknownst to each other, we both had a rule of not dating anyone that we worked with.
I asked for her number and weve been together ever since.
That was back in 1985.
26.She worked at the cookie store in the mall, and I worked at a knife store nearby.
I would close my store for hours on end to hang out with her.
27.She was a personal shopper at Macys.
She was so proud of what she did.
As we sit here expecting our first child, I wish she was here every day.
She would be so proud.
I miss her so much.
First time I tried online dating, and I was the LAST person he tried meeting on online dating.
I didnt put a picture up, and he took a chance anyways.
I was hospitalized for a while and it was very traumatic.
30.A few weeks after a really rough breakup my friends decided to take me out to cheer me up.
I met my current SO at the bar that night and we hit it off.
He ended up texting me early the next morning and weve been inseparable ever since.
Hes the best thing thats ever happened to me.
32.Im a commercial airline pilot and shes a flight attendant.
We met working together years ago when I was first starting out as a co-pilot.
I told her to watch her mouth.
She said, Fuck you motherfucker, I can say whatever the fuck I want to say.
We have been married for 10 years last February.
34.My church choir (college freshmen congregation) had seven women in it.
I was the only man.
A few weeks later shes leading a mid-week worship thing, and asks if I could sing something solo.
I tell her yes, but I need an accompanist.
She says she plays piano.
It took me a while to ask her out, but four years later, were happily married.
35.We met on Neopets as kids and became best friends.
Years later we realized we were both into girls so it worked out perfectly and were engaged.
36.Staring at her boobs to drive a pervert away.
So we were in stage crew in high school.
There was a healthy split of 40+ girls and 4-5 guys including me.
There was a lot of flirting, and well… Just naughty behavior all around.
Usually boundaries were well respected and everyone had a good time building sets and props.
My friend, the perv in this story, is annoying this girl and I can see her discomfort.
To which I answered, Am I allowed to?
Afterwards, I apologize for his behavior and go back to work.
37.The day I met my husband in a college acting class.
We did this for 5 rounds.
Guess who I had to stare at all 5 times?
We somehow got partnered up for our final acting scene despite not picking each other.
We practiced for a few weeks and got to know each other and started going on dates after that.
By the time we finished the class we were all over each other.
Every surface is sticky.
Im in the back, taking a break from my friends in the midst of a small party.
I love them deeply but also really wanted everyone to just sort of disappear for a little while.
I needed someone to complain to about how much I hated everyone else at the party at that moment.
Turns out she need to rant too.
We started dating after a few weeks, and are married now.
Love at first sight.
40.We met at work!
Our desks were side by side, and we liked each other immediately.
Our dynamic was very much office husband/office wife.
It stayed like that for two years.
He was very good at designing bridges, as it turned out, and moved up quickly.
We live together now, and couldnt be happier.
(He still designs bridges.)
41.College my sophomore year.
I was on the mens lacrosse team and she was on the womens lacrosse team.
She walked in and I asked my friends who she was and they let me know.
I said Im going to end up marrying that girl.
I received a text a few hours later from a random number and it was her.
Thats where it all started.
We have been together for 6 years and we are getting married next year.
42.She sat down next to me on the first day of grad school.
We both were into Neil Gaiman and Modern Poetry.
I let her borrow the first few trades ofThe Sandman.
Bought her a train pass with $20 on it, but I was slow to make a move.
Been together 7 years.
43.She was my waitress when I was out with some friends.
I had to meet this girl!
Well the day came during a field trip to Gettysburg and there she was wearing the shirt.
Oh boy this was going to be tough.
Ended up not being too bad.
Anyways were close to 8 years strong together and will watch Scott Pilgrim once a year.
We give a shot to forget about the site but some times we reminisce and cringe together.
I assume that I met him when he came home from the hospital?
Its not something I remember, hes just always been a part of my life.
Through her I found him, reached out, and within three months we were dating.
Next month we celebrate our third wedding anniversary.
47.We were in the same class for a program for people on welfare.
Soon after the clashes ended, I found a job in the city.
I recommended that she apply since we were still hiring, and she got hired too!
I wasnt seeking any kind of relationship with her.
One day I heard her laughing while watching Youtube and it was the most beautiful and genuine laugh.
I thought to myself fuck.
A couple weeks later we were watchingStranger Thingsand we started holdings hands and cuddling.
Were getting married next year
48.Technically we shared a hospital room at birth.
Both our moms were stuck together.
My mom is his aunts best friend (20+years).
The meeting we remember came later.
About 6 years old.
He kicked me in the vagina and ran away.
The boy ended up chasing me for years.
49.In a hot tub.
I was about 14 and her best friend was dating my best friend.
I put my arm around her and said do you come here often?
Knowing it was an extremely cheesy pickup line.
