I randomly decided to take off on a ferry journey one day, to meet a guy who I had known for a long time over the net! It was a spur of the moment thing and as a result not many of my family members were happy with what I did but I was glad I did it because he turned out to be a most wonderful man, we fell in love and we spent 6 years together

congratulations cherryghost.despite spending way too much time lurking here this is the frist time i have seen this thread. well done and i wish you all the best in the future.

In answer to your op

So just out of curiosity, what things have fellow boardsians done for love?

the best thing I have done for love is also the best advice i can give you.

learn to forgive. you will upset her and she will upset you. it happens. forgive her and if you upset her forgive yourself.

I met a wonderful woman and got engaged 5 months later. 13 months after we met we got married. all of my friends said we were crazy,too young etc. last oct we celebrated our 20th anniversery. four kids, four million rows,no regerts.

remember, the best part about fighting is making up afterwards .

I turn 40 this july, when shes around i feel 20.

now i think i feel drunk,time for bed lol. good luck op. its a long road,but a wonderful journey.

Cherryghost, you are adorable. No homo.

I once bought my ex girlfriend a bottle of coke before she left for home, leaving myself short 1 euro for my precious cigarettes.
I win?

Asphyxia

Great strory/thread

I guess I would do the obvious really be there when they needed me, support them and help them as much as I can - basically just be the best girlfriend I can be without it becoming one sided (Paying there way through life and letting them walk all over you)

Nice thread. In answer to the OP: For our first Valentines together my wife (then gf) was studying in Belfast, so I drove up after work from Dublin to give her roses and spend an hour with her. Raging I had to go so soon but was totally worth the trip up.

Mr. Manager

Wow, a nice story in AH for once.

Congrats Cherryghost!

All the best in the future.

Ah, that's a gorgeous story Cherryghost. Many years of happiness to you and Mrs Cherryghost

I told my 15 year old daughter this story and her response was:
'Awww, its nice to know not everyone you meet on the internet is a paedophile or a murderer.'

Around 7 years ago, I drove to Longford from Dublin on a Vespa in the middle of winter to meet a girl. It took me around 3 hours & I almost froze to death.

She must've appreciated it though, as we're still together. And now I drive a car!

Haha I done the same on a Vespa from Shannon Co.Clare to Tralee in Kerry. Broke down once, got lost, gotta flat tyre and ran out of petrol on a quiet country road. All in all it took me 5 hours, and when I finally arrived in Tralee there happened to be a biker rally going on, the abuse I got from these big hairy pissed up bikers nearly threw me over the edge. I did get some action from her after hours on top of a pool table in her parents pub though which made it all worthwhile in the end.


though I did have to return home 2 days later....

Deus Ex Machina

This is a very interesting thread.

I was wondering, the origin of your romance was on MSN or Skype you say? How did you first come in contact? I don't use MSN but I thought you need to have their email address to make initial contact? Also, how long were you talking on MSN before you decided to meet her?

cherryghost

Met her on an ancient Yahoo chatroom, twas the Dublin chatroom, she was on to practice her English (she was in college doing a teaching degree at the time). So it was by total chance that we met and talked. Got her MSN a few months later, and then eventually Skype.

I can't remember a day that passed that I didn't talk to her in some form. She was my anchor during stormy times, and I was hers. Things blossomed and then of course we finally met and the story continued from there
