Not romantic but the best moment in my life was when my cat came to me and started meowing and at first I thought it was nothing but then I realized she wanted me to follow her and I did and she was making sure I was still following her after every 2 seconds and then she took me to another room where her babies were just to show me she gave babies lmao it was so cute like thank you for showing me and trusting me enough with your babies.

I was in a deposition and one of the attorneys was being a jerk to me. I texted my husband about it and said “I want to kill this guy!” And my husband said “I’ll get a shovel.” He always has my back. No questions asked. That’s true love. 20 years and counting. (No attorneys were harmed in the making of this story.).
You think people didn't text in 2000? Ofcourse people did. Infact SMS was way popular and kids invented the shortened form of communication. IIRC, there was a study which concluded that kids shortened so many words due to SMS that they didn't know the spelling of actual word. This was rectified thanks to Facebook where people start writing stories and apple giving us the actual touchscreen keypad.

One time a barista and I briefly touched fingers as I got my coffee. It was a dude. I'm a dude. I'm so lonely.

This was a first date on a spring night in NYC. After a great meal, we headed out for a walk, talking about how much we loved jazz. That’s when he started humming Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra. I had no idea he had such a beautiful singing voice. I egged him on to sing it, so he did. I thought that would be it. But no, he pulled me in and started slow dancing with me. In the middle of a busy NYC street. I couldn’t stop blushing. This was straight out of a movie. I was so giddy for a several days after.

Don’t know if this is romantic. My husband (then BF) were walking back home from his friend’s wedding. My feet hurt being in heels all night. I wanted to take my shoes off and walk barefoot. He told me not to do it. I’ll cut my feet. Belfast, Northern Ireland has a lot of broken glass on their sidewalks cuz lots of drunk ppl at night. I was whining and b***tching the entire way. He told me to shut up, pulled me close to him by my waist and kissed me passionately. I melted. Then he picked me up and carried me 3 blocks home.

Guy I was dating couldn't see me for my bday as we were doing long distance. He went to a street band and requested and recorded them singing happy birthday to wish me. He's my hubby now for almost a decade and I couldn't be happier. The best things in life are free, you just have to be grateful enough to notice them.
For everything else, there’s MasterCard!!

I was at PwC at the time, on a work assignment in Chicago, single and on a team with another associate with whom I had a crush on and been flirting with for some time. We were both up for senior and it was likely we would hear about the promotion while we were traveling. Our partner informed us both that we would be promoted a few days before we were due to travel back home. I made reservations at a very nice restaurant and made a move that night, we slept together and had a wonderful rest of our assignment. Even though we’re no longer together I look back on that moment fondly.
A fleeting love story, as most in NYC are. I was out with some friends when evening at a rooftop bar near Columbus Circle. I had just broken off an engagement and ran to New York to Find Myself (TM). The night with friends evolved to a chat with an out of town stranger that ended making out in the fountain at Lincoln Center. It was beautiful, wild, and a memory that makes me smile.
My girlfriend who doesn’t drink or like sports spending 4 hours of a Sunday afternoon standing in a loud, crowded, obnoxious sports bar with me because my friends were all busy and she knew it was a big game
I almost drowned in an accident and my husband jumped in and rescued me. He’s my hero. ❤️❤️❤️
Eating a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich after being on an eating plan for 3 months. I still think about that moment to this day...
My parents were very strict and I never had a boyfriend before. First year in college, I started dating this gorgeous guy. He was 6’ and I’m 5,2. I was clueless about dating though. We we’re walking back to my dorm after a dinner date and I confessed that I wanted to kiss him, but didn’t know how. I was about to turn and walk the rest of the way into my dorm when he pulled me back and lifted me up and laid me down on the back of some random car and then gave me the best kiss of my life.
This may have been the saddest story I’ve ever read. I’m going to bed now
We met a few months before I moved across the country but we kept in touch. He said he didn’t believe in long distance so I never pushed him for anything more, but I kept thinking about him while on dates with other people.
He picked me up and dropped me off at the airport twice a year when I came to visit my family. One year, we said goodbye before I left to go through security, but my flight was delayed. I ran back to him and we hung out for another hour. During a lull in conversation he said “I love you”. I held my breath and had to process if I heard him correctly. I kissed him and said that I loved him back. We’re still together now and I moved back here last year 🙂
I was a junior in college, on my way to study abroad in Italy for the summer. My seat-mate on the plane was a cute guy from Ohio, celebrating his college graduation with a European vacation. We exchanged email addresses (this was before smartphones) and at the end of his trip, he ended up taking the train to come see me in the tiny town where I was staying. We were both broke, so we made a pasta dinner together in my little Italian flat (this was also before airBnB). He kissed me on the balcony in the moonlight, we shared my tiny European twin bed, and made out/cuddled/giggled about falling off the bed all night. He had to leave in the morning but we kept in touch after the trip. He drove from Ohio to NC to see me, and we finally slept together. It was a dream.
It really was! ☺️
Reconnecting with my college sweetheart after 10 years and taking a vacation together in Portugal. Have been married to her for 6 years now next weekend.
Lol this is gonna be a full penthouse letter. And is real shit.
Saw a cute guy at a friend's new years eve party, kept watching him, he introduced himself. I was in college out of state and it turned out he was in the military and about to go to training in the same state (party was in NYC, I lived in MO). we ended up kissing at midnight and making out in a closet, friend kicked us out and we went to a diner for breakfast and watched the sun rise, said goodbye. Didnt exchange #s, I tracked his down from my friend and we ended texting and talking regularly for 2 years even through him getting relocated and deploying to iraq.
Finally he was back in US and stationed in TX. He called me on a Friday night and we statted looking at cities that were between us as a joke/whim... then he was like "let's do this", got in our cars and drove all night to meet up in oklahoma. saw each other for the first time in 2yrs, spent an amazing passionate weekend together, traded i love yous.
I was immature and scared of commitment plus this guy was so different from anyone in my life and it was easier (and shittier) to back away than to ignore potential judgement from others. I slow faded him and ended up meeting and marrying my husband, who I adore, but a piece of my heart will always belong to my NYE romance from 15yrs ago.
NYE guy is still single and told our mutual friend he's "just a one woman kind of guy". I am happily married but if I were to become single again, I would sure as hell try to track down his #.
Drunken makeout with a stranger on an industry booze cruise. No idea who he was, but it felt pretty cinematic to 22-year-old ginned-up me.

My husband pushed me out of the way of a car that almost hit us, putting himself in my place. That’s when I knew he’d literally die for me.
First time I landed the plane and didn’t bounce. My love is in aviation, don’t tell my wife.
Oh I loved that feeling too!
