Did it live up to expectations? Did you bottle it?!!

Nothing to add to this thread but just wanted to say Hollowtree, that’s such a lovely post.

Yep! I'm dating him now, we had a fling back when we were 19, 4 years down the line a relationship just sort of happened after we got back in touch

Thanks primark! I choose you as my MN friend!

Thank you choc! I meant every word except for maybe the bit at the end where it got a bit strange

Yep I am married to him

I had a huge crush on a boy at school, and one lesson he was partnered up with me for badminton. Only trouble was I didn't have my PE kit, so was having to do the lesson in my knickers. I was like , but we've been together ever since!

Yes, I married him some 15 years later, still together after a further 18 years. Married 15. Lost sight of him for a while, he turned up as my friends new boyfriend. I was in a relationship by then, we became friends but always connected as we are both from the same area of the country. He split with my friend. Life moved on, we rarely saw each other, never when we were both single, but we met up over a mutual friends memorial some 15 years later. That was 18 years ago & we are still together.

Yes! I had quite a few. I'd say around 50% of the time it was simply incredible, something I still daydream about 10 years on. The other 50% were just meh and looking back I'm not sure what I really saw in them.

I'd say that the ones that were amazing were the ones that I was extremely attracted to physically (and in other ways). The ones that were disappointing were ones I was crazy about mainly for their mind/personality.

I really fancied a mate when I was a teenager. Snogged him at a party one night and it was everything I'd hoped for. A couple of days later he asked me out but I was so overwhelmed by the strength of feeling for him, I said no! We stayed mates, but it took me years before I could see him and not get butterflies.

I think teenage confidence has a lot to answer for. I just went for it.

Yes. REALLY fancied a guy who lives in my town but he was married and I didn’t think he even knew I existed. He split up with his wife a couple of years ago, moved away, then we randomly got chatting on Facebook after he’d liked a picture I’d put on and tagged a mutual friend in. Turns out we’d been facestalking each other for years without the other knowing. It’s all going swimmingly well. He’s moving back to this town later this month to be closer to me

I married him!

Before I arrived at uni, they sent me a kind of catalogue with all the societies and social opportunities. I really fancied one of the boys in it, so much so that I, erm, cut out his picture and stuck it to my wall.

He is now snoring next to me.
