Also we normally type so talking to him in person is strange because he think I speak too fast at first until a few days after we are together and he gets used to me and then I can stop talking to him like a child. This boy has studied English his whole life and I would say he communicates (in writing and reading) about 40 percent of his day but the speaking part takes some warming up so that is weird!!

Me and my brother was waiting for her at the airport. We arrived about at the same time as her plane landed, but it took probably an hour or more before she finally arrived. She was one of the last people to come in.
Anyway, to make the time go, me and my brother placed bets on wether she would be the next one to come through the gate. We didn't really have anything other than coins, so we bet guitar picks and other random stuff found in my wallet. And as I had it open anyway, I decided to clear some old reciepts from my wallet, but as I was halfway to the bin, I turned around, just to see if she MAY have POSSIBLY come through yet, and there she was, rounding the corner, and my brain go torn in two directions. Part of me wanted to finish the task I had already begun, throwing away the od reciepts (I was already halfway to the bin after all, and it was about ten to fifteen meters away), and the other half just wanted to run to her, so I stood there, in a kind of half shock for a few seconds before running back to her and my brother, who were now introducing themselves xD And the first thing I thought, apart from "she looks so real!" was "she's shorter than I thought" xD Which I told her. And I'm sure she'll never let me forget it either xD.

Originally posted by Moon View PostYep, you're right, we did meet at work, but not face to face. We're in the same department, but he does the work for our EU branch, and I do it for the US, and because of that, we had to collaborate all the time. We would have to work on issues over the phone, which soon turned into 90 minute phone calls, for a 5 minute answer We did that for years, until I decided (for the second time) I had a bit of a crush, and wanted to see if anything could come of it. I managed to get him to talk to me outside of work hours, and that was that, he was hooked We didn't meet face to face for about 7 months, some of it due to it being such a busy time with work that it was hard to take off, but mostly because of his infamous Finnish shyness.

The first time I met my SO it was during a summer education program to get into college, I was 17 and he was 18. I remember having a major lady boner upon first sight, but had a boyfriend who was back home.
Nothing happened between him and I that summer, although other girls definitely took their opportunities... he was quiet popular haha. I remember a few days in particular, once in the door rooms walking around meeting everyone and walking into his room where him and his roommate were hanging out, him with his button down shirt half open. He still doesn't believe that I had major hots for him, he thinks I had my eyes on one of his roommates! Which isn't completely untrue but I was definitely more attracted to my SO.
Another time we were on the main part of campus and there was an arch stairway on which my new friends and I were standing on top of, we saw my SO walking towards us and started giggling talking about how it was like Romeo and Juliet. So I put a cute little smirk on leaded over the railing and say "HEY (my SO's name here dragged out)" he smiled back at me then looked at the rest of my friends and said "Hey ladies." He and I started hanging out more often a little bit after that.
Once I returned that Fall we were apart of the same group of friends and ended up dating for a short amount of time. Seven years later...

Reconnected in July 2011

OH! The first time I saw him after those seven years might be share-worthy as well...
I picked him up at the airport, he was wearing his US Navy uniform. I was so nervous, he was so nervous that he was texting me even while walking off the plane. Once he finally walked out he had a huge smile on his face and I could barely breathe. I half walked/half ran to him he dropped his backpack and lifted me off the ground. With my legs wrapped around him he just held me for what seemed like forever, then he put me down, held my face and kissed me for the first time in seven years.
While waiting for his bag he kept giving my little kisses all over my face and said that he would get in so much trouble for doing all that in uniform.
Geez, I think I needed to share all of that. Thanks for reading everyone.

My SO has told me a few times about the first time he saw me. I had just arrived after a 6-hour trip on a bus, exhausted and covered in red dust from the bumpy road. Great first impression !
He caught my eye the next day though. I thought he was extremely handsome and he had such a lovely smile. I tried to catch a glimpse every now and again until we finally started talking

I didn't think to put in my earlier note about the first kiss at the airport. That was very special, but, man, oh man, was it ever too short! He was worried about PDA, but I would have loved to lock lips with him for hours - to heck with what anybody thought! When he kissed me, all memories of any other kisses left my brain. For me, I knew then I would always be his.
There is absolutely nothing else on the planet like a kiss hello or goodbye at an airport.
