Number 9 was submitted by hellbentbelike_45 Pandora
Pandora and Hellbent may be super in love now, but it wasn’t always this way.
When they first met they hated each other!
They saw each other every day because they had mutual friends.
But every time they spoke Hellbent would act like a total dick to her, and they’d end
up arguing and calling each other names.
One week everyone except Hellbent and Pandora went on a field trip to DC.
Since regular classes were cancelled, their teacher made them do quiet study together
in a small classroom.
This was where Pandora got to know the real Hellbent.
For the first time, they had a real conversation, and they listened to each other instead of
arguing!
It wasn’t long before they were hanging out together by choice!
Their friends started to ship them and encouraged Hellbent to ask Pandora out.
When Hellbent finally found some courage he told Pandora she was the most beautiful girl
he’d ever seen.
Flash forward to today and Pandora is happily in a relationship with her one-time high school
bully!
Number 8 was submitted by lynxkinks Shima When Shima was in high school she was really
shy and couldn’t talk to boys.
One night her Skype friend introduced her to a guy who lived in the town right next
to Shima’s.
This guy was also really shy, but he was nice and they both shared a love of Minecraft.
Shima and the guy quickly became friends and started playing Minecraft together every single
night.
At first Shima was happy just being friends, but when she saw on webcam for the first time
she became one smitten kitten!
Eventually they decided to meet in person.
They went to an ice skating rink but they were both way too nervous to talk!
They tried again at a laser tag place and it went much better.
When it was time for Shima to leave, the guy awkwardly asked her for a high five.
Shima gave him one and the high five turned into several minutes of hand holding.
They soon started dating and are still going strong!
Number 7 was submitted by Oranges_lie2 Melissa Melissa and Zaraganba had been best friends
since kindergarten.
But when they hit high school Melissa shocked to discover that she’d developed feelings
for him…
She didn’t want to ruin their friendship so she buried her feelings deep down, even
though it hurt.
One day Zaraganba’s football friend came up to Melissa and told her Zaraganba had something
really important to tell her after the game.
Melissa went along to the game but didn’t pay any attention.
She couldn’t stop thinking about what Zaraganba wanted to talk about.
When the game finished, she was so desperate to see him that she rushed into the guys’
extremely smelly locker room.
Zaraganba saw her and gave a big speech about how he’d been in love with her since back
in the sixth grade.
They started going out and have been together ever since.
Melissa has never forgotten that day.
Or that gross locker room smell…
Number 6 was submitted by Raiel_Vastos Ladybot One time Ladybot was in class getting harassed
by a total douchebag.
He kept touching her and calling her ‘his bitch’.
Ladybot told him to stop but he wouldn’t take the hint.
She eventually got so bad that she yelled at him.
This made Mr Douchebag angry, and he shouted, “Don’t talk back you me, you little sh—!”
Before he could finish there was a loud bang and the douchebag fell to the floor, crying
about his broken nose.
Ladybot saw this really cute boy standing there holding a textbook with a huge bloodstain
on it.
She hugged him and thanked him for helping her out.
The cute boy then nervously asked Ladybot out – and she said yes!
Douchebag tried to ruin their first date, but Ladybot’s new boyfriend just flashed
his textbook and scared him away.
Number 5 was submitted by SkarlettSyn Ramona Ramona met her future husband in a hotel lobby
in Chicago.
He was a handsome goth gentleman playing The Addams Family theme song on a piano.
When he finished, Ramona went over to compliment him on his playing.
But before she could get a word out, the handsome goth man looked at her and excitedly said,
“Hey!
Are those real?”
Ramona gasped and covered her chest.
She was about to yell at him for being a perv when he said, “No, no, no!
I meant your eyes!”
He told Ramona her eyes were really interesting and he wondered if they were contacts.
After that hilarious misunderstanding the two spent the whole weekend together.
Six months later, they were living together, and a few years after that they got married.
Their next step is to start their own Addams family…
Number 4 was submitted by Morbus_Akura Pringle Pringle met his first girlfriend Mimi at school.
He’d liked her for a long time but could never find the guts to talk to her.
He worried he was too much of a weirdo for her.
His friends teased him every day about his secret crush, and then one day at lunch the
unthinkable happened.
Mimi sat next to him.
Pringle’s brain shutdown and he was completely speechless!
He’d dreamt about this moment for months, and now it was finally here!
He tried to slow his mind down and think of something to say.
But when he opened his mouth to force a word out he nervously burped!
Pringle was so embarrassed, but Mimi found it hilarious.
It ended up being the perfect icebreaker, and they started dating not long after!
Number 3 was submitted by throwaway_ocean2 Andie
Andie met the love of her life, Adam, at a college art class.
He sat next to her, asked to borrow a pen, and before they both knew it they were head
over heels in love.
On their first date they went to a Halloween horror movie night at the local cinema.
Everyone was in costume except them, so the night had a very spooky feel.
When the movie ended Adam walked Andie to her car so she’d be safe.
They ended up standing around in the parking lot for hours just talking.
Andie asked him if he would get in trouble with his parents for being out so late and
he nonchalantly said “Nah”.
Years later, Adam confessed that on that night his mom actually called the cops and reported
him missing because it was 3am and he hadn’t come home yet!
Number 2 was submitted by EliseDaSnareChick Spincess
Spincess met the love of her life Tolop by complete accident!
She’d just graduated from college and was living alone after a bad breakup.
One night Spincess was feeling a bit down so she decided to send text messages to a
bunch of random numbers.
Tolop was the only one who responded.
They chatted for awhile and discovered they had heaps in common!
It turned out they lived pretty close to each other, so they arranged to hang out and go
to a metal concert!
They had such a wild night that they decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
And the rest, as they say, is history!
For number 1 I’m going to tell you about how my girlfriend and I started dating.
So back in highschool, when the big end of year dance was announced, I immediately asked
the most popular girl in highschool to be my date!
Surprisingly, she said yes.
But towards the end of the year I started getting close to another girl, named Cittie.
Cittie already had a date, who was a close friend of mine, but both of us were just taking
our dates as friends.
About a week before the date I asked Cittie to be my girlfriend and she said yes, but
there was still the big dance coming up, and we didn’t want anything to be awkward: So
we kept our relationship a secret from everyone, so our dates wouldn’t find out.
On the night of the big dance, when the slow dance started playing for all the couples
to dance to.
I went up to my date and asked her to dance, and she said “No thanks, I don’t like
slow dances”, And I saw my girlfriend wasn’t asked yet, so I went and asked her and got
to have the slow dance with my secret girlfriend.
After the Dance we had a sleepover at mine with a bunch of my friends, but my date decided
to go home instead.
The next day me and Cittie had planned to go on our first official date, so as we were
all heading out, we said we were heading to the shopping centre, and Citties date was
like “I’ll come too, I have to return my suit”.
So after we returned his suit, we all went to the food court to grab some food, and we
sat him down and we said “so uh….We should probably tell you, that me and Cittie are
dating” and it dawned on him that he’d asked to tag along on our date.
He started
freaking out and we just laughed.
