Then I look at his face and think he must be heaven sent. I have decided to go with my heart, and let my head give a bit of input, and of course take it slow. Will post more details in another post. |

Here's the story. On Christmas Day I signed up for one of those online dating sites. I was feeling lonely, was snowed in and had nothing better to do than drink wine and sulk. 12 days later he sends a "flirt" my way. I look at his picture, sees he drives a Hummer and immediately got turned off thinking he was one of those men with too much money to spend on foolish toys (dated those types, not interested). The next day while looking through my messages, I see his picture again and notice how good looking he is. I read his profile and big flags went up because there was not much info there. He gives a brief history and says he is tired of games and is looking for someone and something "real". I blow him off again. Then comes an email message telling me a bit more about him and that he is interested. Well, it has gone on from there to be something special. He is a Major General in the Army, deployed 7000 miles away in Kandahar Afghanistan. He is career military, having served for 22 years. He plans to retire in another two years. He is stationed about 50 miles or so from me, which is home base when he is in the States. He is 6'2, gorgeous with huge muscular arms. He has a degree in mechanical engineering. He is a widower. His wife died of lung cancer about 5 years ago. His late wife was Malaysian, they had a daughter who is now 15 living with his mother in Malaysia. His father was American and served in the Army, he married a Malaysian woman. His father died not too long ago. He is very sensitive, caring and creative. He writes beautiful poetry. He canceled his profile at the online dating site shortly after we started corresponding. He tells me he no longer needs it because he found me. It is very early in the relationship but something just feels very different about this one. It has calmed my head considerably, not to mention filled my heart, to read all of the "love at first sight" posts here. It is extremely hard not being able to see him in person, and knowing that he is in harms way. And if it does not work out, it sure has been fun. So, that is my story. |
I thought that was what was going on! I had to ask and am glad I did because I was one of those who thought you should give it more time! I sincerely hope it works out for you and the hunk! |
Oh my! I love this thread! Its so sweet reading everyone's stories. Here is mine just to join in the fun. Its not quite so romantic since he was a butthead before I married him;) My now husband and I worked together. He was a cook/manager. I was a server. He had red flags coming out the wazoo. He is a really good liar and had all the other girls at work wrapped around his little finger. It was ridiculous. His then girlfriend was super jealous and would come into our job and rant at her server (whenever it was a girl) that she'd better not be sleeping with her man and blah blah blah. It was pitiful really. I with my all understanding and non sarcastic manner was lucky enough to draw his girlfriends table one night. I had no interest in him at the time, he was way too sketchy:) She proceeded to inform me that she would meet me in the parking lot when I got off shift and beat the tar out of me. I told her that anyone that needs to fight that hard for a man doesn't really have him anyways and that If he was that great then why was she wasting her time and mine trying to clean up after him? She was stunned. Left. I made him pay her bill:D She broke up with him a week later (my fault? we'll never know) Fast forward 6 months he cleaned up his act and I told him if he ever lied to me I'd walk faster than he could follow. I knew the first time that he told me the truth instead of lying to me, which would have been WAY easier since he was an idiot, that he was the one. He still hasn't lied to me and hopefully never will. He's my baby and I'll keep him. He's now a really good man and husband and hopefully a father in the future. :) |

I think my husband & I knew when we had only been dating a few weeks. things were going to good. at the time i was 20 yrs old and living at home. My dad was crazy and he told me i couldn't see him for no good reason of course. well i drove and left the house to meet my husband. we got married 1 1/2 yrs after dating. Been married 21 years. My husband was sent from God above. He's the best blessing besides my children that I've ever had in my life:D He truly is the love of my life and i couldn't see myself without him.:) We have a wonderful relationship. Made me feel good one day when my son told me they didn't make women like me anymore. he wants the kind of relationship his dad and I have. That was a great compliment.:D |

I'm going to keep playing with him and see if I can get more info for the authorities. I have already reported him to his ISP. When I'm ready to let him know that I know what he is up to, I plan to play it up even more and tell him I am with the Internet Crime Bureau or something. |
I was a divorced, single parent of 2 when my best friend told me she had given my tel# to a guy her husband knew. He'd seen me go in their house and asked about me. He called me the next week and we set up our first date. When I opened my front door and saw him I thought "BINGO! This is the one". We discovered that we'd gone to high school together - he remembered me from study hall and thought I was hot:p We actually dated 7 (yes, SEVEN) years before we got married, but during that entire time, neither of us dated anyone else. We just weren't in a hurry:D We were married 13 years when he died in 2005 and those were the BEST years of my life! I do believe that sometimes you just "know". |

My hubby and I met at my friend's 16th birthday party. He was dating a girl at the time that I went to school with and he went to a private Christian school. This girl was always kind of a... not so good girl... and I had just broken up with my boyfriend and I remember thinking to myself that he was hot and "how can she get such a good guy?" cause he was being so gentle and loving with her. Flash forward a year - he went on and joined the national guard and she cheated on him with both genders while he was in basic. They broke up because of this and we ran into each other at a local band concert and hung out for awhile. I ended up dating this guy within a couple weeks after our run in and we lost contact again. Flash forward another year - Boyfriend and I broke up and I was DEVASTATED. Adam had been reading some of my blogs on myspace and knew that I was hurting so he decided just to send me a friendly IM. We talked for awhile and I dated this other guy for about a month, but broke up with him when I found out he was doing drugs. Adam then asks me if I would like to go out with him, as friends and friends only. I said okay and out we went. He took me to a "high society" outside mall in a near by county and we ate at Uno's, then went to the movies to see Hills Have Eyes or some stupid thing like that, and then went to a coffee shop where they gave you a mini fire pit and you could make s'mores (mmm). While we were at the movies though, something happened. I always have a tendency to lean towards my right when I'm sitting around and he was sitting on my right, so he took that as me trying to get close to him and put his arm around me. It felt so right that I leaned in some more and laid my head on his chest. It was so perfect. Seven months later, we were married :-) This coming November we will have been married 3 years and I wouldn't change a thing. People thought I was crazy for getting married at 19, but I love my life and all the problems that come with it! |

Unfortunately you have to be really careful these days, so many people out there trying to pose as military members. Good thing you figured it out though, it's always good to know some questions to ask to be able to catch them in their lies! Men can be such pigs... Have you tried a profile on like myspace or something? In my single days I met a lot of pigs that way, but I also met some really nice guys whom I have stayed friends with for years now. Just an idea :) |

I love what you said to his former girlfriend though, so true! How did you break yours of his anal ways?? I told mine I wouldn't put up with any of his crap, and 2 years later I have discovered I have a 30 year old son. All the women I have talked to tell me they deal with the same thing. I wish I would have gotten that memo 2 years ago. I'm 24, didn't think I would be a mom for at least a few more years!! |

But one good thing came of this. We have a wonderful thread full of love stories for Valentine's Day! |
Awwww, I am sorry that happened but oh-so-glad that you found out before you got really serious about him. It's Ok! Things will be great! You are now one guy closer to meeting the man of your dreams!! GOOD LUCK and always go with your instincts- sounds like you have some good ones!! |

My mom's boss uses E-Harmony and seems to like it. |
I'm glad you found out about him before things progressed to far. There are alot of not so great , sketchy , weird guys out there ....I should know ...I dated alot of them and my ex-husband was the king and glorified exalted leader of DUMBASS men :rolleyes: But you will meet a great guy. They always come around when you least expect it :D When I met my hubby ( my hubby now :thumbup:, not the first dh:thumbdown) he was not my normal type ( he was a decent guy...not something I was use to:rolleyes:) He was mellow , fun loving , hard working and wanted nothing more than a family...so of course I did the natural thing and ran like hell away :confused: But fate and love won out in the end and it will for you also :) |
My hubby and I were friends for years, hung around with the same group of friends...but we never dated or had any romantic ties what-so-ever, as a matter of fact we both were dating others. But when my then boyfriend and I broke up and I was feeling so depressed...my future hubby sent me roses with a note saying that he was sorry to hear that my heart was broken. We've been together now 35 years...married for 29 of those years. |
I met my husband at work. in all jobs, there are two employees that hate each other. We were those two. I almost got fired because of his many complaints about me. I dont know why we got married. I guess I is revenge time. But nowadays he won't stop saying how much he loves me |
I met my husband at a friends get-together. We talked all night that night, and made a date. After our third date, I told my best friend "I wish he was my husband!". lol. I was so head over heels for him. Six months later he proposed to me on valentines day and we were married by May. That was 1 1/2 years ago. There is no doubt in my mind that this will be a long lasting healthy relationship. :D |
