" I started out think he was illiberally plaguey and cocky , but soon fell hard . "
Recently,I asked youto cure my cynical heart and share real-life moments that felt as though you were in a rom-com. Of course, the answers didn’t disappoint, and here are some of the best:
1.“Junior year I fell in love with my lab partner in chemistry. I started out thinking he was intolerantly annoying and cocky, but soon fell hard. I asked him to a dance and a week later our orchestra class went on tour to Disneyland. We essentially fell in love at Disneyland.”
2.“When I was in high school I met a boy who was a little older than me. We spent the summer going on dates but decided that we shouldn’t pursue anything at that time.”
" But , he could n’t stay away . I was in a looker pageantry and I lose . I was devastated . I looked through the crowd and there he was . He snap up my handwriting and said , ' Let ’s get out of here ' . We ran through the halls of the auditorium with me in a ballgown , hired man in hand . We start to the car and he told me to close my heart and weigh to ten so I would n’t see how filthy his railway car was . He asked me to be his girl and I have it away him very much . We expire our freestanding ways and I ’m wed to someone else . It ’s the most read-only memory - com ending I have in my repertoire . "

3.“We agreed to meet Saturday at noon for our first date. We walked around the downtown market and then went to the waterfront area for lunch. Around 3:30pm we sat down on a park bench and continued talking. Right at 4pm he turned to me, his face white as a sheet, and blurted out, ‘My God, this is actually happening!’ I felt as if the back of my head had been whacked by a shovel, and blurted back ‘I know! I feel the same way!'”
" And the population clicked into place . We ’ve just had our twenty-fourth anniversary . "

4.“My ex and I lived in a small town in Kansas, and we were on a gravel road on our way home from a party late one night. There’s a country song by Josh Turner called ‘Why Don’t We Just Dance’, and it came on the radio as we were driving home. Without saying a word, he stopped the truck in the middle of the gravel road, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door and pulled me out towards the front of the truck to dance in the headlights.”
" This was over a decade ago , and I still faint about it . "

I spent the rest of the weekend at his and cancelled all our other plans. When I had to fly back to my country, we decided it was a surreal and beautiful weekend but not to keep in touch as we both couldn’t do LDR. He texted me as soon as I landed that he couldn’t stop thinking about me.”
" We spoke everyday for the next five years and visited each others countries a few times . We finally break off speaking when I met my now husband . I hope the guy cable I met on holiday all those days ago found true sexual love and happiness , like I did . "

One guy kept catching my eye, and we ended up chatting and flirting quite a bit. At the end of the shoot, we parted ways — I left with my friend and he with his; they were driving, and we hopped on a streetcar.

" I take the air up the stairs and hear ' Hello ? relieve me ? ' and it was him ! With a Gallic emphasis no less ! I could n’t believe it . We chew the fat a bit , exchanged numbers , and do a escort . Fast forward to the appointment : I was nervous , he was flighty , I tried to cut him so much slack but oh my was he a douche ! He talked and talked and did n’t listen to me at all , bragged about all the place he possess and process me like a prop . I sense zero chemistry while he acted like we were much in use .
