how i met my love
(a story from the first person, that is, from me Mikhailovsky Maxim Petrovich, about how I met my girlfriend)
Somehow, after another unsuccessful acquaintance on Dating Sites, I was in a slight melancholy, and since they were knocked out with a wedge, I decided to go back to the LovePlanet website and try my luck again for the thousandth time, that is, find a girl for a relationship. All this happened on January 3, 2018.
I actually found a girl there, started chatting with her, then invited her to call up and we talked for 2.5 hours on the topic of relationships, mine, hers, our understanding of this issue, our goals and achievements, work, life, hobbies and much more.
My entries are in hot pursuit: 01/03/2018 - the first correspondence in LovePlanet and a conversation of 2.5 hours as a result of which there was a positive impression and a desire to meet, the first boyfriend she had was 3 years old from 21-23 years old from a religious family who did not want to move to another level of relationship, 3 years older. The second guy is 36 years old, a former colleague from work, with whom she met for 6-8 months and broke off relations in the fall of 2017, he did not want to live together, remained friends and correspond periodically, did not want to live together like he was either married, then whether, did not want the development of relations.
Further, I suggested meeting with her at the end of the conversation, she was free tomorrow, since she did not work until January 9, and we decided to meet with her on January 4, 2018. I live in the glorious city of Kyiv, so it was decided to meet at the Khreshchatyk metro station at 19:00. She had things to do before, so they chose this time.
My impression of the girl after the call and the first date:
A very interesting girl, young, but not stupid, knowledge and experience are not enough about life, but there is an intellect that makes up for it all. She does not expose her external sexual characteristics to the public, although all this is available, she dresses well and is practical, but does not stick out everything sexually, she is rather relaxed, but not vulgar.
Not very active on social media. There is no instagram, there is a FB page and a personal website about a hobby. She is the only child in the family, a family of an average social level, a good upbringing, an artistic nature, but not a melancholic, rather a practical phlegmatic with the beginnings of a melancholic.
Knows roughly what he wants, but is not petty. Practicality is very well visible in her behavior, which I really like. The general appearance can be described as follows, the appearance is not defiantly sexy, but very attractive, I like all aspects of her behavior and excites me.
There is a desire to continue communication with her, both intellectually and sexually. She is not shy about wearing glasses, which for a girl of 24, almost 25 years old, speaks of her confidence and not having complexes. The overall assessment is positive and requires further study.
We met her at 19:00 on the Khreshchatyk metro station, I was waiting for her at the exit from the escalator, hugged her and we went for a walk. I offered to go to Sofiyivska Square to see the New Year tree, she agreed and we went there. We liked everything there and we walked further along the Maidan, the Friendship of Peoples Arch, the Mariinsky Park and went to sit in some cafe. I ordered coffee, she ordered tea. We talked there for about 2 hours, then we went back to Khreshchatyk, pl. Leo Tolstoy, Shevchenko Park, Botanical Garden and South Station. There I hugged her and put her on the bus. Before that, both she and I expressed a desire to continue our acquaintances in the future.
I took notes after each of our meetings, this is what I wrote down after the first date with her.
Here is what I wrote about our first date in my diary about her: 01/04/2018 19:00-24:00 #1 - first date, everything is very good, I liked it, I seem to have learned a lot about each other, expressed a desire to try again, hugged twice when we met and parted. His father and mother are photographers, he is 61, she is almost 50 years old, has been living separately from them since the summer, probably renting an apartment (I checked in the family’s apartment). Cheerful, laugh often, smart, needs a little conversation, but not shy. Seems like a phlegmatic. She has been living separately from her parents since the summer of 2017, the first one asked me if she liked me and I said yes (I really think so), and also agreed to repeat the meeting again.
In general, this is my story about how I met my girlfriend, and not just a girlfriend, but my first girl! That's how I met my love,
Our love with my husband sleeps in his bed and sniffs softly... Our love story began in the fall of 2011 - from a dating site. Before that, I was wary of such sites and did not believe in the success of such an enterprise, until my friends and acquaintances began to tell me stories that ended in weddings. And I also decided to try my luck. I had fans and even offered to marry, but I felt that all this was not right, and my heart continued to search for its soul mate.
One evening I was sitting on a dating site, answering regular letters from boyfriends - someone was interested, but I didn’t notice someone. My heart was heavy, because on that day our relatives suffered grief - their son died. I was very sad. One guy wrote me a letter. I thought: answer or not? As a result, I wrote to him, to which he replied that he had also recently lost his grandfather. That's how we supported each other and talked heart to heart. Then our correspondence with him began, long conversations on the phone and the first meeting ...
I was very worried, I thought whether I would like it, because before that there were meetings, and no one touched my heart. I carefully prepared for the first date, picked up a beautiful and at the same time not defiant outfit: I wanted to please him. And so we met with him, watched the film, and after the film we talked and listened to music. We liked each other at first sight, and I immediately realized that this was my soulmate, a part of me.
Our relationship developed very rapidly. After 2 months, I met his parents, they invited me to the festive table, and on New Year's Eve, my future husband came to meet my parents. To our surprise, his and my parents were born and raised in the same area, moms and dads were somewhat similar, they had the same interests ...
Soon he arrived with a bouquet of pink roses, confessed his love to me and asked my parents for my hand in marriage. I answered yes! In winter there was an engagement, and in the summer a beautiful one took place. After 9 months, our wonderful son was born. We celebrated our first anniversary this summer. I love my husband very much, who has become so dear to me!

And it's true - there's nothing to talk about :)
Anyway, congratulations :)

We have already said that the overall luck of a person consists of three components that affect approximately in equal proportions. Fate. House. Our me. The first is our destiny. This is what is reflected in the Bazi chart. In it, we see how a person imagines himself in love, what he expects from a partner. We see periods of time and places when love appears most likely in his life, marriages are made. We consider the palace of marriage, how it works, in what periods of time it comes into motion. In motion means something...

What matters is the love of a man for a woman. Does your husband love you? It seems that no ((The status of "busy" does not fundamentally prevent you from meeting a new great love.
My first love after a divorce I >. I met my first love after a divorce just at work. True, there was a hitch - I loved him, but he didn’t love me, and besides, he was married.
How likely is it that after some time the same woman will not start having lovers, tormented by the fact that this is "not quite right" or that she has finally met her love, and ruining a marriage "for the sake of some kind of love" is sort of like stupid...etc etc.
Discussion of family issues: love and jealousy, marriage and betrayal, divorce and alimony, relations between relatives. I decided that life would become quite measured, no adventures. But... I met Him on a business trip.
When I was met at the maternity hospital, my first thought when looking at my daughter was: “My God, how BIG she is!”. I didn't feel the love and adoration I had. It was a big child who SHOULD be loved, taken care of, etc. Of course I know...
And if I meet my love, then that's all - the divorce is final. I won't be able to live even for 5 years with a stone, with a person who tolerates me only as the mother of his children. And there's a long life ahead...
Given: The first love did not love him and married another out of mutual ardent passion. He went to another city, married there twice. Came back and met her again. She is divorced and lives with a child.
No, there was no meeting, but there were photos, a lot of photos and a lot of communication, if there had been a meeting, I would have disappeared altogether :-(He himself made an appointment and canceled the meeting himself. This person does not want to meet with me already, love has passed, as they say , but it didn’t work for me, just the roof goes, two ...
Where is she, love? Yes, this is rare. They live out of habit, they live because it is pleasant to be with each other, they live because it happened and is convenient. I have a wonderful loving and beloved husband and, most importantly, I no longer want to meet "unearthly love" ... oddly enough.

fell in love for the second time
After a series of epileptic seizures, Jessica Sharman lost her memory completely. She did not remember her name, did not recognize her relatives, and her young man Richard Bishop became a stranger to her, next to whom she was uncomfortable. But Richard did not give up and again began to win the favor of Jessica. His love and patience won her over again.
“I didn’t know him at all, but he acted like we were in love. I tried to end this relationship, but he looked so hurt. He promised that he would help me remember how good we were together. His passionate feelings and concern eventually convinced me to give the relationship another chance. I don't remember how I fell in love with Richard the first time, but I definitely remember the second."
Meeting on the train
“I remember the day I first saw Mark on the train on my way to work. It was love at first sight. After that I saw him every day, but he always sat with his nose buried in a book. I decided on a desperate act: handed over a letter where I invited him on a date. I was on pins and needles all day, and finally at 17:30 Mark replied that he could not accept my invitation, as he had a girlfriend.
Eight months passed, and Mark and I were still silent fellow travelers. But once I received an email from him, where he already invited me on a date - it turned out that his relationship had ended a few months ago. The first date went perfectly, after 3 months we began to live together, and after 3 years he asked for my hand - of course, on the train».
Common interests
“Now it seems crazy to me that I found love on a dating app. When we met, I was 33 years old and Chris was 35. And we were both worried that we were no longer destined to find love. but, fortunately, this was not the case. Chris and I are football fans, so when I saw his photo, my attention was drawn to the T-shirt with the name of the team he supported.
Because of the cold weather, I refused to wear a dress (even for the sake of a first date) and offered to spend the evening in an informal setting, Chris did not mind. I came to his house, we ordered food and just watched TV. We felt like we'd known each other forever. Two and a half years have passed since then, we are married, and our daughter was recently born.
At the right time in the right place
« My wife and I met because we were in the right place at the right time. Friends invited me to the club, and I refused to go there for a long time, but a friend persuaded me, saying that he wanted to introduce me to a nice girl. She was really nice, but when I started talking to her, I noticed another girl out of the corner of my eye and could no longer take my eyes off her. Her name was Claire.
I immediately invited her to dance, and then asked permission to kiss her, and she burst into an embarrassed blush and nodded. The kiss felt like pure magic to me. We returned to the table and talked for several hours. Then we saw each other again, and after 5 months I asked her the most important question. Now we have been together for 7 years, we have two boys and many happy moments.”
Unique Team
“I met my husband Pete in college. His sister Nancy was my roommate and I noticed a picture of Pete in her. I told Nancy he was cute and she insisted she set us up on a date. That was 34 years ago and we've been inseparable ever since. I'm an interior designer and Pete is an engineer, and our skills have helped the two of us create a unique team.
We raised three wonderful children who already have families of their own. We appreciate every minute that we spend with them and our two grandchildren (the third is on the way!). We have a long tradition: several times a week we go for an evening walk with our Labrador. This is just one of the ways that helps us strengthen our marriage.».
Found love in the laundry
« Josh and I met at the laundry. I was temporarily staying with a friend who didn't have a washing machine in her apartment, so I had to use the laundry. Finding it was not easy, but finally I noticed a guy wandering around with a basket of dirty laundry, and asked where I could do laundry. He showed me where their laundry room was, a tiny room with two old washing machines.
I chatted cheerfully with the guy, but at first I did not pay much attention to him. He seemed to me shy, though nice. We went about our business, and when I returned for clean linen, I found a note: Josh offered coffee. After the first date, we saw each other every day, and now we are engaged. Can't wait to wash his clothes for the rest of my life (just kidding)».
« Our love story is similar to what they show us in films. I was returning home from a business trip to Asia. I was checking in for a flight at the Bangkok airport and suddenly I saw the girl of my dreams to my right. But when I got my boarding pass and wanted to talk to her, the girl was gone. I spent the next couple of hours thinking, "What if..?"
It's time to board the plane. Who do you think I saw there? We talked all the time of the flight, and then I realized that she was “the one” for me. The plane landed in Doha and I went to the States and she went to Barcelona. I couldn't get her out of my head and a few weeks later I flew to Spain. After 3 days, I decided that I would move there permanently. I took a chance and I was right».
The most "nutty" couple
“Thomas and I met on a dating site. He lived in Canada and I lived in New York. We fell in love with each other in just a week. We sent SMS, talked on the phone and on Skype every day, and after another 3 weeks he left everything except his dog and flew to me in New York. On the first day of our meeting, my two dogs and I moved into a 27-meter New York studio.
“3 years ago I went to the supermarket for groceries. Going outside, I unlocked the doors of my jeep, but when I got closer, I I saw a man next to him. He put his groceries in my trunk. I said that it was my car, but the man laughed and replied that it was his jeep. Then I blocked the doors again, and he realized his mistake: his car was parked nearby.
The man turned pale and apologized, and I, to defuse the situation, joked: “You can leave your products, I will gladly take them.” He replied: "Only if you cook me a supper of them." A couple of weeks later, I actually cooked dinner for him at my house, and that's how it all started. People don't always believe when we share our story with them, but you can't make that up on purpose. This is destiny».
It's never too late to say yes
When he saw his bride at the altar, he was so excited that he simply froze in place. The pastor even had to push the groom, which greatly amused the guests. For both, this is not the first marriage: Murphy's wife died in 2013, and Lucinda divorced her first husband and met a new love only 30 years later.
20 years ago, American writers Ellen Fein and Sherry Schneider collected advice on how a woman can get the man of her dreams in her best-selling book. Since then, the feminist movement has revived and strengthened, and such literature has received the label "sexist". However, the "New Rules" are still being reprinted and find many fans and followers. What is the secret?
Over the years, gurus Ellen Fein and Sherry Schneider have analyzed the behavior of women who are happy in their personal lives - those who have many suitors, who are successfully married and have a happy marriage. Oprah Winfrey called their bestseller Rules for Winning the Heart of the Man of Your Dreams a phenomenon and twice invited the authors to her talk show. People magazine classified the book as a must-read, and glossy magazines named it the best publication on relationships. The authors assure: over the 20 years of the existence of the “Rules”, millions of women have been able to feel their absolute effectiveness. They got a relationship full of love and respect, which spilled over into a happy and strong marriage. In The New Rules, female writers help modern women and girls communicate through Facebook, Skype, SMS, etc. and at the same time remain mysterious, maintain a hunter's instinct in a man when there are so many “easy prey” around him, get married in an era when everyone lives in civil marriages and is in no hurry to take responsibility.
"Men love difficulties and lose interest when the object of this interest - and especially a woman - gets them too easily."
“Secret way to get a guy: be a challenge for him. Treat him like you don't care about him,” urge Ellen Fein and Sherry Schneider. In their opinion, it is necessary to create an atmosphere of mystery and make a man crave meeting you, which is a rarity these days. “Rules” is a way of communicating with any man (provided that he first started a conversation with you, in person or on the Internet), thanks to which he becomes obsessed with you and is ready for a serious relationship.
How to Marry the Man of Your Dreams According to Ellen Fein and Sherry Schneider
Be a girl different from the rest and look like a girl different from the rest.
Do not approach a man first and do not start a conversation, do not call or write to a man first.
Do not invite men on a date via SMS, social networks, or in any other way.
Wait at least 4 hours before replying to the man's first message, and at least half an hour before replying to each subsequent message.
"Let's talk/write later": always finish everything first - and disappear from sight!
Do not reply to SMS or any other messages after midnight.
Do not accept an invitation to a Saturday date later than Wednesday. "Right girls" lead a busy life. Of course, you've already made plans for the weekend before it's Thursday! If he invites you too late, don't reprimand him. Just say you're sorry, but you're busy.
Make yourself "invisible" for instant messaging. Even if nothing is happening in your life, you should not notify the guy about it by instantly responding to his messages. As with any other form of communication, he should wait for an opportunity to talk to you. To be interesting to you, he will have to work hard. Do not deprive a man of this opportunity by immediately answering messages and sitting online for hours! Remember, you have your own life (study, work, friends, hobbies, workouts, and hopefully dates) and you only have 10 minutes to chat and no more. If a guy has a lot to say and a lot to ask you, he can do it during a date!
Don't spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week with him.
Long-distance relationships: let him offer to Skype more often and visit you.
Don't text men first, ignore emoticons and winks on online dating sites.
Do not pay for dinner and do not buy his love in any way.
Don't do self-destructive acts when dating married men. If he wants to see you, tell him to call you when he is single. And after that, no communication, forget it, say "next!" - and focus on finding men who are truly free.
Don't date a man who cancels your appointments more than once.
Do not send a man anything that would be unpleasant to leave him in the event of your separation.
Don't settle for one-night stands and pointless relationships.
Do not rush to sleep with a man. The “right girl” makes a guy wait to help him fall in love with her, with her soul, with her essence – and not just with her body. The longer you delay intimacy, the longer he will be able to care for you, plan romantic meetings and dream about you. Men love challenges and don't appreciate anything that comes too easy for them, especially sex!
Don't date a man without commitment! If your relationship lasts more than a year and at the same time they are “correct” (you allowed the man to “chase you”, met him no more than 2-3 times a week, refused to spend vacations with him, did not move to live with him), then most helped him fall in love with you and want to marry. A man wants to see you more and more. But if, after a year of relationship, the man did not offer to marry him, you should tell him that you are an old-fashioned girl and are not going to meet anyone forever. If he starts making excuses, offer to take a break from the relationship. Ask him to think it over alone and call when he's ready to commit.
Every person dreams of meeting his love. They say that feeling makes the world go round, right? Sometimes it seems that no matter where you look, everyone has their own ideal soul mate, except for you. Looking from the side, it seems that everyone except you is riding a wave of love. But where you're looking from, it's somehow not very rosy.
Being single is a fantastic time of self-discovery. In a period of independence and freedom, we better understand ourselves and decide what we want from life.
However, just as people in a relationship sometimes want to be alone, so every loner has moments when he asks himself the eternal question: When will it happen? When will I find that person?
The feeling of falling in love and knowing that you are loved in return cannot be compared to anything else. But what if it seems that the search for love will take forever? And so we have to sit back and wait for "the one" to find us? Well, I do not.
Transform yourself into a temple of love, inner peace and happiness. This is what you can get in return.
How to show and meet your love?
This is true - LOVE CANNOT BE FORCED OR HURRY. However, it is absolutely not true that we should expect it as a result of "accident".
Like any other aspect of life, your personal life is completely under your control. You decide when you want to meet your love. AND YOU MUST DO IT!
Everything that appears in our life is a direct response to our thoughts and energy. If so, then we are responsible for the people we attract into our lives.
When we live in loneliness, anger, doubt, or general negativity, how can we expect to attract something beautiful and positive into our lives? If you want to find love, change has to start with you.
Here are 3 things you can do to find your soul mate.
1. Believe to receive
The first step to finding love is to believe that you are worthy of love. This may sound very simple. But ask yourself: if you already felt that you were worthy of love, why haven't you found it yet?
Sometimes we may feel that our thoughts and actions are screaming for love. But in fact, the doubts that we secretly hide block the way for the manifestation of our desires. So up to this point, unconsciously or consciously, you have allowed your doubts to keep you from what you most want: love.
The next time you doubt your worth or your ability to find love, try asking yourself these three questions:
- What do I doubt?An example response is "In my chance to find love."
- Has anyone else in my situation found love?An example response is "Yes".
- How often do you think this happens around the world?An example of a response is "Every second!".
Every time you start to feel doubt, ask yourself this easy set of questions. You will feel filled with positivity. Thus, helping yourself to find love much faster.
REMEMBER THAT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS ON YOUR SIDE!
It is known that more than seven billion people live on Earth and half of them are single. So why do all the doubts appear?
2. Learn to love yourself
This may sound like a cliché, but it's true. Until you learn to love yourself, you should not expect love.
When we fail to let go of the invisible baggage we have taken from previous relationships, we destroy our chances of finding true love and happiness.
So the first step is to get rid of the guilt or negativity. For this,on our youtube nale there is a special meditation called "Meditation on Healing from Resentment, Pain and Guilt" Still can't get over old troubles or past relationships? You must learn to translate everything into experience and let go.
“My ex cheated on me… I don’t want to risk it, I’m afraid to feel this pain again.” Such beliefs are an example of thoughts that inadvertently attract relationships that you don't want to return to. But in the end, we attract what our thoughts are focused on.
To prevent such thoughts from showing you love, you can interpret them in a more positive way. For example, the above thought can be modified:
“Now I have the opportunity to involve a new, faithful and loving person in my life”
If we replace negative beliefs with positive ones, our thoughts and energies can instantly turn into love and happiness. We attract what we feel.
3. Be honest about what you want
How do you imagine your ideal man or woman?
What is this person? Is he tall, dark-haired and handsome?
Maybe he's in the mood for a career; family oriented; sports; introvert; extrovert?
To operate in any area of our lives, we must first achieve absolute clarity about what we want.
