Valentine’s Day… How Did You Meet?


I was thinking that I do most of the talking here… and that maybe… as today is Valentine’s Day… that we should chat together about love… I always want to hear a couple’s story… how they meet… the wheres and the hows… the small and the big moments… I guess it is a girly thing… but I do love a ‘boy meets girl’ scenario… So I will go first… and then pass it on to you…


 I was 20… he was 21

He was my best friend’s boyfriend’s friend… Are you with me so far?

I was reluctant… My friend thought she knew best

I said, “he is too young”… she said, ‘we’ll see..’

It took time… I didn’t want to meet… blind date and all that

The date came… it wasn’t a great success… I was not sparkling… I wasn’t enthused

Time passed

As coincidence would have it… a party was planned

I went… He went

We talked… He flirted…  He had my attention

Five days later… he arrived on my doorstep with tickets to a play

I accepted

Five years later… he rang my doorbell and made a proposal

I accepted

Some decisions in life are the right ones

My best friend did know best


Happy Valentine’s Day

Now your turn… Everyone has a story to remember… Do tell… xv
