Your Romance Success Stories

[JoesshittyOs]

snip.

That really tugged on my heartstrings, I'm a sucker for romantic stories like this

Jesus. I've had quite a few success stories, but they all tended to end rather nasty. I don't know if I can even tell my previous one in a good light.

Let's see.

>Cute new girl comes to my school in junior year, seems like she is way out of my league
>12th grade she breaks up with her boyfriend
>Introduced by friend
>Hit it off really quick
>End up becoming friends on Facebook
>She posts a video of a song she just made
>The song eerily reflects our friendship. She said something like "been a week, but I couldn't help but feel there was a spark"
>End up trying to go in for my moves, let her know that I like her only to get blocked by every possible thing
>Scumbag ex-boyfriend pops back into her life, we end up fighting because I remind her that this was a guy who had cheated on her
>End up not talking for a few months
>Scumbag boyfriend cheats on her
>She comes to me crying
>We end up getting extremely close again
>I go to her friends house, her friend convinces me to make a move
>We have an awkward but rather cute kiss on her friends doorstep
>End up having a secret relationship for a few weeks with some awesome makeout sessions.

That's about as far as I can go. It gets pretty depressing after that. Turns out she was rather manipulative and kinda needed a guy in her life at all times.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

>Be horribly shy.
>Do nothing.
>Admire girl.
>Continue to do nothing.
>Still nothing.

That's how most of it goes for me.

The world starts appearing in a much better light when you start taking risks and breaking out of the awkward shy bubble you place around yourself.

I'm currently in the middle of doing it and it's rather rewarding. Learn to face rejection with a smile on your face.

Alright, how about this:

>Asked a girl that I was interested in to a dance.
>She's great to be around and she says yes (freakin' awesome).
>We get a ride and get to the dance (which takes place in an amusement park).
>We get to the dance floor pretty quickly, and dance non-stop for an hour.
>We decide to cool off an go on some of the nearby rides.
>I take her to this roller coaster and she's completely not scared (damn).
>She takes me to go to a more intense roller coaster and I can't stop screaming (DAMN!).
>We go on this new coaster and it blows (damn...).
>We return to the dance floor and music for freaking and grinding goes off and we get really close...(yes!)
>After another non-stop hour of (great) dancing, I ask her to go on a slow boat ride.
>She's a little shy about it (strange), but she agrees.
>She sits in front of me and I sit directly behind her.
>I hold her tight and she welcomes my embrace.
>I move in for a kiss, and she doesn't move away.
>Then we hit a bump in the river bend, and it kills the moment (fan-tucking-fastic).
>We both play it off with laughter and we just continue the ride talking.
>She gets cold, and I offer her my jacket. We walk for a bit and I start getting cold.
>She offers the jacket back, but I deny it (although I HATE the cold!).
>She then decides to hug me and we just stay hugged for a few minutes (people who pass us by look, but I don't care.
>We return to the dance floor and just dance some 70s and 80s themed music and finished off with a slow jam.
>We walk towards the exit, taking our time and hand-in-hand.
>We talk about getting together next week, and we just can't stop smiling at each other.
>We get another ride and she holds on my arm the whole ride.
>We get hungry and go out for taquitos.
>I get to her house and walk her home. I make one more attempt to kiss her, but her dad opens the door.
>We just hug each other instead, and promise to meet each other next week.

Pretty sweet night (except I couldn't get the girls lips on mine), but I can't complain.

I'm assuming this is still an ongoing pursuit, good sir?


For my own thingey thing thing:
> Returning to my university after Christmas break.
> Almost late to board the plane.
> Only three or four seats left. One is next to attractive girl.
> We talk. I try to run game at her. I fail.
> We spend the rest of the day "finding where all our classes are."
> I friend her on Facebook. We talk.
> We hang out. I run more game at her. I *REALLY* fail. (Seriously, I'm normally not that bad, but this week, I was just way off my mojo).
> We hang out more. It's pretty obvious she doesn't like me that much.
> We hang out more. Fail. Damn, does this girl hate me or what?
> She tells me she'll sleep in my bed with me (not sexually) if I help her with her Chemistry homework.
> I help her with her Chemistry homework.
> She sneaks out at, like, 5 in the morning.
> She tells me she has a boyfriend.
> I'm like -_-
> Next morning, she tells me that it's more-or-less an abusive relationship.
> We go watch a movie, have some dinner, watch another movie at her place.
> I make an excuse to stay over at her place. (It's really, really late, and I'm tired. Can I just sleep here?)
> She says Yes.
> We hang out next morning, and afternoon. We watch porn together. (She was watching, I was doing my homework like a good boy. Then I got distracted.)
> We hang out for the rest of the week in between classes. I sleep over at her place a few more times.
> She breaks up with her boyfriend. Cries in my shoulder.
> Later, while changing, I catch a bit of a peek.
> That night, I get her in bed.
> Second base.
> Third base.
> She asks me, "So, what does this make us?"
> We discuss the possibility of either being friends with benefits or boyfriend/girlfriend.
> I tell her I want to ask her out.
> She asks me if that's my way of asking her out.
> I ask her out.
> She says yes.
> Our first kiss together. (Yes, it was after I got to third base.)
> We've been dating for 9 months now.
> Success.

I probably omitted a lot of stuff, because it was a super-eventful two weeks, and mentioning everything would take forever.

 

[emeraldrafael]

>walking out in the street
>see a girl waiting at a stoplight
>Pay her money
>Do the dirty
>head to the clinic immediately to see what I caught.

...

XD

oka, seriously though, I think the most romantic thing that ever happened to me was my first gf asked if she could share a lunch with me since she had forgotten hers. so I said sure, opening my lunch box, find little debbie heart cakes. we both blush, take one a piece then slpit the lunch.

My "Romance Success Stories" are more Romance Fail but in some way Win Stories.
Number One:
>Have friend who is girl (Blunt I know but true)
>Kinda like said girl.
>Girl starts dating friend.
>Girl has quite the long relationship with friend.
>Friend breaks up with girl.
>Girl continues to hang out with us however all of the other guys in group seem to hate her.
>Girl asks me out.
>Contemplate, with friends saying "No" but conscience saying "Yes".
>Abide by the bro code and sadly decline her offer.
>She goes to live in a different city.
>The End.

Numero Dos:
>School Camp.
>Like girl.
>Girl apparently likes me back.
>Hug girl.
>Friends say she's weird and they don't like her
>Don't do anything else in fear of disappointing friends.
>Somewhere in the back of my mind I still kinda like her.

Also:
>Friend (Girl) says that apparently I'm one of the "Hot" guys in the class.
>Fuckyeah.jpg

In short, I'm socially awkward but apparently quite attractive.

 

[mcdain]

I can't really remember exactly how it started, but it goes something like this:

>High School, Year 10 (9th Grade to you Yanks?)
>Start talking to girl from my class over the internet. We apparently have a lot in common.
>Flirting ensues, is reciprocated.
>Start hanging around with her at school.
>I ask her out, or vice versa. I can't remember.
>Go for a walk in the park. Cannot stop shaking.
>Kiss her.
>Walk her home.
>Spend any and all free time with her.
>Start staying over at her house.
>Gradually move in with her.
>Her parents are surprisingly ok with this.
>Go to college together.
>She starts Uni, I offer moral support.
>Present day

3½ years on, still going strong.

When I was nine or ten, I was at the carnival and my best friend left me to sneak behind buildings to make out with this little Beiber-esque football player, and I managed to hang out with this boy I had a little bit of a crush on. We talked about wobbly teeth, compared our shoes, and then went on the big slippery slide and perhaps the jumping castle together. End.

[sub]Yes, I know what doesn't count, at all. =/[/sub]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Romantic success is something that happens for other people, not me. I have never even come close to romantic success, and I never will. Women and I don't see eye-to-eye on the whole romance thing. They aren't attracted to me, I know precisely why and it's an unresolvable issue. So yeah, OP, good job with your gloating. You've managed to make at least one person feel like shit again for something that he can't change.

I'm sorry. *hugs*

So the first half of this year I was on placement in a pretty isolated town, I had some course-mates but aside from that didn't really know anyone, plus the hours I had to keep were insane and so the sum of my romantic endeavours was flirting with a pretty girl at a coffee shop.

Came back home to my town, hooked up with a friend's cousin who was ten years older than me. Ended up talking online a bit. Culiminated in me spending a weekend with her on her birthday. We both knew there was no real long term future, but it was fun. She'd recently gotten divorced and from what she told me her ex was a real scumbag. So on top the sex, she basically spent the weekend praising me, how smart, nice, polite, attractive and how much a great person I was etc. It was sort of embarressing but at same time it's really nice to hear that, even if it's probably just flattery, it's nice to be acknowledged and needed. Walked away from that weekend feeling more like a man.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Um...is the rule against low content posts still in effect? I've already gotten a warning for that.

[sage42]

-New girl moves to small town my 10th year(American school).
-quickly become friends after school rally.
-No interest romantically, had crush on another girl.
-ask out 2nd girl, she says as friends. Lose interest in her.
-go with first girl to premier of Harry Potter Deathly Hollows Part 1
-receive first Kiss that night
-year later still love her.

So yes Thanks to Harry I got my girlfriend. So screw you guy who played Tony Stark (forget his name) and Zach Galavanakus (or however you spell his last name), you guys did shit for me romantically.

 

[Count Igor]

Oh that's nice! It could have gone so totally worse... Do you still talk with the first girl?


OT: I'm afraid I don't have anything to add. Kind of unfortunate.

Yup. We spent today in London (Admittedly on a school trip, but we still talked a lot..)

 

[V TheSystem V]

My first awesome get-together was with an ex. Let's just say, if two of my friends hadn't cancelled out on a concert, she would have never got one of my tickets through one of my friends, I would never have bumped into her at said concert and stayed around with her for an hour, then talk for a week and find out she likes me, ask her out and she says yes. Cue a month long relationship, her thinking it wasn't working out and then loneliness only hitting me after two weeks.

But that was coincidence. My current girlfriend was as follows

> Talk to girl briefly every so often when I see my friend in old school
> Start making jokes around them, they find it funny
> Talk for about 100 comments on Facebook statuses (other people's Facebook statuses, we just dominated them)
> Get their MSN address, talk loads on that
> Got friend to see if they reacted at all with enthusiasm whenever my name was mentioned
> Planned on asking girl out, but in person
> Talking on MSN, I dig myself into hole about feelings, but find out she would say yes if I asked her out
> Ask her out, she says yes
> Next day, my uncle dies. Girl there for me throughout the two weeks prior to funeral. I was a mess
> Realised I loved her after the support she gave me for those two weeks
> Now together 7 months. Have had ups and downs (mostly ups, thankfully) but still going strong. Have planned for future, but next hurdle will be universities.

My girlfriend - the best.

 

[SckizoBoy]

>Meet a guy at school.
>Ends up kissing me and being my first.
>Date for eight months.
>Guy turns into controlling asshole, and abusive.
>Date another year.
>Gets me pregnant.
>Skips out, never to be heard from again.


That's the nicest one I have. Romance and success are mutually exclusive concepts.

... I'm sorry you feel that way, especially since that is your first contribution to the forum...

There is a special circle of hell for douchebag *insert series of expletives here...*'s like that, I'm sure...

Suddenly contemplative...

If you don't mind me asking, how is your child?

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

Hmm... let's see...
*meets girl*
"Hi"
"Hi"
...
FOREVER ALONE!


Yeah, never had a girlfriend...

 

[Princess Rose]

I have just had a fantastic weekend and it left me in a mood to gloat, tell people and also to hear the stories of others.

Kay. ^^

First off, should probably lead with the fact that I've been married to my wonderful partner for the past seven years. We have a very open marriage.

And in case my profile name didn't tip you off, yes, I am female.

> A few weeks ago, my spouse and I got invited out clubbing.
> The invitee was this beautiful, sexy woman who we've been friends with for a few months. We fed her dog for her while she was away this summer (which was moderately annoying) and she was grateful, so she wanted to buy us drinks.
> We met her and some of her friends for drinks at a nice, quiet bar first.
> The conversation turned to romance and sex rather rapidly. Some stories were shared.
> After the second round, we left the bar for the club.
> Another round of drinks was bought at the club. I didn't partake, as I'm the designated driver (so only two drinks for me). This is not a problem since my inhibitions are already pretty low.
> Dancing occurs. The music was 'eh' but it had a beat.
> We found a stripper pole in the club.
> After some urging, I danced upon said stripper pole, to the amusement of my spouse and the girl who invited us.
> Better yet, we found an empty cage in the club.
> The girl who invited us and I danced in the cage. We got... friendly. Again, my spouse got a very entertaining show.
> Another round of drinks.
> Dancing on the dance floor. Various grinding occurs, between the three of us, and between us and random strangers. Much fun is had.
> Hours pass - cage is repeated with different participants.
> The friends of the friend who invited us need to leave. We all decide to go.
> On the way home, the friend who invited us asks if we want to use her hot tub.
> We do.
> We don't have swim wear.
> She doesn't mind.
> Naked hot tubbing occurs.
> Sex talk occurs again. She expresses interest in the details of our open marriage.
> We explain the details.
> She likes what she hears. Also, apparently what she sees.
> After about an hour in the tub, we retire to the bedroom.
> Stuff I'm not going to write about here occurs.
> A very pleasurable evening is had by all.

Best fucking night clubbing I've ever had. ^^

 

[Christars]

> Elementary school
> First crush on a girl
> Crush quickly, eh, "crushed" when she makes publicly fun of me for looking in her general direction
> Middle school
> Somehow, me and some girl always get to school like three quarters of an hour early, just spending time in the classroom chilling
> I finally gather my courage to confess
> She's like "that's nice". Doesn't actually reject me until a few days later
> High school
> Mad crush on this girl
> Just in passing I hear some people talking about how she was gloating about her wild sex with her boyfriend
> While wild sex isn't something I find morally repulsive, attempting to steal girlfriends IS. So I do my best to forget about her
> University
> This really cute girl suddenly talks to me out of nowhere during lecture break
> We get along well, meeting up and having a good time. She loves my piano playing
> I try to confess and am stopped since she "doesn't want to lose our friendship". Huh, took me 19 years to finally figure out what "friend zone" means.
> Strictly speaking I'm still gunning for her, but I think it's time I gave up

> Feels bad about writing this since this thread is supposed to be about "success stories". Though to my defense, I guess I've been successful insofar as having had a so perfect fail rate that I'm bound to get lucky sooner or later Always look at the bright side of rejection, or something?
