Writer's Block: Cute Meet
A friend of mine met her boyfriend when they were both drug dealers. I wish I could remember the whole story but I guess she was selling to some mutual customer/acquaintance of theirs and he walked in and saw her and he said later that he fell in love with her right there. They both went to prison, etc. etc. got out, got clean, stayed clean, and now they're still together. It sounds like it belongs in a movie.
On the other hand,
My girlfriend and I met online, not horribly clever or original, I know. But. We met through a website called Love Happens. Seems auspicious, right? I had accounts on a few dating websites but I hadn't been really active on them because I had been pining away for this girl at work that I had an insane crush on, and getting absolutely no where. Finally, she broke my heart once and for all (the girl at work, that is) and I decided, you know what, I'm going to get out there and meet people, really start dating. So I started checking my profiles on the dating websites, one of which was Love Happens. As luck would have it, a few months prior, this girl had sent me an email on there. I figured it was a long shot because it had been like 3 months ago, but I emailed her back anyway. Well, she responded right away and we started talking and the rest, as they say, is history. We hit it off and have been together over 3 years now and I'm still so in love with her it's not even funny. She's amazing and I couldn't live without her. The funny thing is, she didn't have a paid account on the website and, like most of those kinds of sites, you can't email anyone unless you have an account, so how was she able to email me? We still don't know. She tried and wasn't able to email anyone else. I guess it was just in the cards. Love Happens eventually shut down, a few months after we connected. But love did happen for us!
I love happy endings.
