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.

1st date with a girl from work. Went on a wine tour through the country. By the second stop we were making out. We went to 5 wineries taking in the views and drinking wine talking. Took her to the beach about an hour down the road where we had seafood. Then we walked on the beach while the sunset. I made a fire on the beach and we talked. I eventually drove her home very late. The next day she ghosted me. It was really disappointing then I had to go to work with her and she was 2 cubes away. That Monday she needed help during a presentation and called me like it was nothing. That’s how it works when management dates I.T.. She chose her job over me.

One of my best friends my whole life is a guy I went to school with, from elementary school til now past grad school. We never dated or crossed any lines but he’s always had my back. From getting up at 5 am in the middle of a downpour to come change my tire for me all the way to making sure no one messes with me ever. He works on my car, and I hold the tools and the light so he doesn’t have to ask for anything. Once he invited me to a fish fry one weekend (we both didn’t feel like flying solo that weekend I guess) and went to buy groceries while I was getting ready. Dudes grocery shop really fast apparently so I wasn’t finished by the time he got back. I didn’t want to make us late so I said I’d put the rest of my makeup on in the car - since he splurged on the supplies I agreed to drive us. He got out and pumped my gas before we hit the road. We got stuck in traffic on the way out there and I was putting on my makeup in between 1st, 2nd, neutral (my car is a manual). When I got to my mascara traffic kept moving just enough to be annoying so I controlled the clutch/pedals and put my mascara on in the rear view mirror while he shifted for me and held the wheel. No talking, or queues. I didn’t ask him to help he just did. Just on the same page seamlessly. He played DJ and navigated the whole way, held my straw so I could have a drink while I drove, cleaned my sunglasses for me. Gave his jacket and his chair by the fire later, and made sure I never wanted for anything the entire time. If my glass was getting low I never had to ask for a refill, just looked down and he had already topped me off. Then he held my marshmallow over the fire and made me a s’more when he made his. Everyone was dancing in the driveway under the stars and we put em all to shame (not spinning, dancing). It wasn’t one moment, it was the whole day. We’ve still never crossed a line, never have. I think we’ve been friends for so long we don’t wanna jeopardize that.

We were in school together and attended a big ski trip. One night there was a party at the base of the hill. Toward the end I saw the guy I was interested in flirting with another girl and was upset about it. My friend went and got mad at him on my behalf and then a bunch of us left, without him.

We were walking up to our hotel on the other side of the hill from the party when I felt him grab my hand. He apologized and said they hadn't been flirting, just talking. Later that night we slept together and he whispered that he loved me (but he we were both drunk so I didn't take it seriously)

Felt very romantic to me but I learned about a year later he was dating someone else at the time 😕

Had been going on secret dates with a guy from work for a couple months. We had decided to stop dating but still had intense feelings for each other. One night it was raining and we had both left a work HH separately. I was walking to the subway thinking about him, wondering if he was doing the same. Like clockwork he texted me and we were having a quick back and forth convo about joking around and meeting up that night. But we were both serious. He got off his train to Brooklyn and headed back my way. Next thing I know we are running towards embracing each other, smiling, soaking wet from the rain, in the union square subway station. ❤️❤️
