I was living uptown in my white bread world when I met this guy from the backstreets. One day I'll wake up and make up my mind.

@ArseNelbow

It all started when I bought a brand new combine harvester. I had 20 acres at the time and he had 43...
Ohhhh arrrr that’s romantic Did he give you the key?

I had this thing for a guy I knew and one night I just came out with it and I begged him to take me out. Anywhere I didn’t care! We were driving in his car and I never ever wanted to go home because I hadn’t got one.

I was so happy in that moment and I told him that if a double decker bus crashed into us then if we both died there and then it would be great because I’d die with him!

At least I thought it in my head. I couldn’t actually tell him to his face because I’m just so shy. I just gazed at him wistfully. But it was still romantic!

Standing on my porch, I told him told him that I'd wait forever, then I held his hand and I think he knew it was now or never. Those were the best days of my life.

Oh I nearly forgot about when I was just happily making bacon butties in my cafe on the cobbles when I met my Hayleigh , I mean she did turn out to be a man , and then die but god it's kept me going since

Well, long story but it was a very long time ago, in wartime. Met this American Pilot (turns out he was from Texas). I moved over there to be with him, but he ended up drinking so much it killed him. Passed out like a cowboy on the porch.

I have a bit of a drink issue myself now, and my friends and family are long gone. It's must me and my armchair, and a clock. House could do with a clean but I can't be bothered to dust. I'll just sit here and remember that Pilot.

She wore a raspberry beret. The kind you get in a second-hand store.

What did she wear when it was warm, @BubbleCoffee?

I was minding my own business, just hanging around when I was pulled down to earth. He was such an annoying man, wanted to take me home as a present for his girlfriend. Anyway, we had a great adventure - lightening pirates, old hags trying to kill me, you wouldn't believe the half of it. Turns out he had a bit of an inheritance. I met the girlfriend and she was a bit of a cow, but my now DP saw the light and we lived happily ever after!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 10/09/2021 06:55

Basically, we had this secret moment, in a private room. Everyone else there had no idea about me and him.

He said my name and everything just stopped. I didnt want him like a best friend. Truth be told, I only bought that dress so he could take it off

flashpaper · 10/09/2021 07:21

Abusive parents, locked me up with a dragon when they found out I had a little problem that only came out at night. So I waited and waited for my knight in shining armour to arrive, and he did! Turns out, he had the same issue but his was permanent, so I kissed him and it stuck. Now we live in a swamp with our kids and we're good mates with the dragon and her donkey of a husband.

BalloonSlayer · 10/09/2021 07:26

My BF drove all night to be with me, and woke me up to make love with him.

I LTB.

HippyChickMama · 10/09/2021 09:17

I was in love with a man, let's call him D, but he was in love with my bff who isn't interested as she was in a secret relationship with another man, L. To cut a long story short, a ditsy fairy cast a spell on D and now he's in love with me and everyone is happy. AIBU to never tell him he only loves me because he's under a spell?

JumpLeadsForTwo · 10/09/2021 11:33

@HippyChickMama I wouldn't bother telling him - you don't want to make an ass out of yourself!

HippyChickMama · 10/09/2021 12:45

@JumpLeadsForTwo (great name btw, can do!)

Me and Mary we met in high school, when she was just seventeen
That night we went down to the river.

DannyNedelko · 10/09/2021 20:46

He slept a summer by my side. He filled my days with endless wonder. He took my childhood in his stride. But he was gone when autumn came.

CathyorClaire · 10/09/2021 20:54

I'm in love with a German film star.

It's a glamorous world.

Hellotoallmyfans · 10/09/2021 20:55

Well I remember when we were driving - driving in his car. We were speeding so fast it felt like I was drunk. The city lights lay out before us
and his arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
And I had a feeling that I belonged, I had a feeling I could be someone.

EspressoDoubleShot · 10/09/2021 21:03

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight

We met on the beach one summer night. He ran by and got my suit damp. She showed off splashing around but something begun…

BornFreee · 11/09/2021 08:53

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola

MoreStuffingMatron · 11/09/2021 17:01

Lighthearted.

It was scary.

The quiet guy in the flat above. Half Italian. Lovely blue eyes. Kept pestering me for a date. I’d friend zoned him weeks ago hoping he’d take a hint. He called me saying he composed a song about me and sang it down the phone.

Very creepy song all about waiting in line for the time to spend an evening with me.
He was going to take me someplace to dance then drop into a quiet little place to have a drink or two. Then my perfume filled his head, the stars got red and the night was so blue. He started chanting I love you, over and over again.

I hung up pronto. Bolted the door and rang 999 . The police are coming over to have a word with him

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 11/09/2021 17:09

Well, it happened years ago and I lived on Stanhope Road. We used to hide and listen to my sister and the boys she'd bring home from school. Sounds seedy but he kept saying he wanted to give me babies so it was actually really romantic. Alright.

CovidPassQuestion · 12/09/2021 16:54

Hmm @IToldYouIWasFreaky I hope you checked the wardrobe afterwards.
