We met on another forum discussing our favorite ship/OTP. We got to talk to each other about anything. It was so easy to have a great conversation going; we talked every day. We were basically like two peas in a pod. It got to the point where people accused us of being a couple but we always denied it and used to joke afterwards how weird it'd be if we were together. It's one of those dynamics where you instantly understand each other.
Eventually after a year, I started to have feelings for him. Because of being across the US from each other, I didn't want to risk of our fantastic friendship and kept denying it to myself. To me, there was no way a long distance relationship would be possible, especially if we never officially met. Other girls had revealed having a crush on him and he'd politely reject them. I was content with us being good friends. After a while, he started to become much softer and affectionate to the point I started to think maybe he felt something.
One day, he revealed he developed feelings for me and that's how we got together. We decided to try out a long distance relationship promising each other we'd meet in person someday. Not long after, we talked via webcam, called each other, texted, sent letters & packages, you know how it goes. Three years later, we got to meet in person.
Meeting each other in person for the first time was surreal. Despite arriving early, other people and I missed our flight by a couple of minutes being held up in line. My luggage was on that plane. We all scrambled across the airport to find a flight that could take us. I ended up taking a flight to Chicago that would connect to Los Angeles. By the time I arrived in LA, it was after midnight. I was really concerned about losing my luggage so I raced to take care of that first at baggage claim. I've heard of horror stories of people's luggage getting stolen. My phone rang and the first thing I heard when picking it up was, "turn around". It was him, and we both started to laugh.
That started a trend of traveling back and forth to see each other once a year. Eventually, we got tired of spending so much to see each other and decided to live together after six years.
We're now 12 years together. Despite being thousands of miles apart when we first got together, we constantly stayed in contact and grew up together. It's been an amazing time. He's incredibly understanding and supportive. We encourage each other & work together as a team. He's my best friend and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Aww I love it!! <3
I'm so happy for you guys. That's the most important thing, to always stay in contact and support each other. LDR are really hard but i'm really glad you guys made it
It’s been a little over 2 years. I actually first met my boyfriend on Facebook and didn’t have a single clue who he was. The only reason he messaged me is because my cover photo at the time was his favorite band (it’s weird to think that if I had a different picture I probably never would have met him), and for our first “date” we decided to go to a concert of said band. It went really well, and to sound sort of cheesy even though I just met him it felt like I’d known him forever. But yea, a little over 2 years later and we now live together, have 2 cats and a rabbit, and overall things are going really well. I don’t think I could be any happier.

Ten and a half years 
We both are 24 now. We met in school when we got to same class, I didn't know him before, even we live in small town.
It actually started when I asked him to be my partner in schools dance. And luckily I did it. Little did I know what was coming when I asked him

It's been 4 years. We knew each other in school and were friends, who secretly were crushing on each other, he moved, then I moved, and we flirted a bit online. Well low and behold I moved back, and he had moved back too, without my knowledge, ran into him at his work and got really talking. Once he moved down the street he started coming over to hang out and then more and more until we confessed our feelings over facebook. Well, we were still super awkward and didn't act on those feelings for a while after that, but he eventually awkwardly asked me over facebook if he was allowed to kiss me and I said yes, so we came over to watch a movie, waited patiently for the credits and we've been inseparable ever since. XD
6 years as of last month. We're both 24, but I'm a couple months older.
Story because I don't get to do this much else, so finally have a thread for it yay!
We met during high school, didn't share any classes but would pass each other in the hallways. We officially met through a mutual friend since we live in the same neighborhood complex. We all hung out together, and this was when we started falling for each other. It was a bit awkward after some time as I discovered that the mutual friend also started to have feelings for me and even tried kissing me. We all took a break from hanging out together after that as things got complicated, but nothing serious. But after a while, as things went back to normal, me and boyfriend got together.
I thought it would be too good to be true if we got together, so never prepared myself. It was the exact same for him apparently. But luckily, we're firm believers in taking small steps at a time instead of rushing things. Combine that with stable friendship as well, and I guess that equals what we have today lol. We're waiting for our late 20s, early 30s to marry. We want to stabilize our careers and financial plans. Sounds boring but we're just careful I guess LOL.
I've flown from Florida to Oklahoma to see him, as he had to move in with his mother for insurance reasons, as well as the job market being poor in FL. So it's temporary until he saves up more to move back out. I go back next month, and as much I'm not a fan of his family, it's worth it to see him again.

10 months now
I've been with him for seven years, and it will be 8 in September. I know him since I was sixteen but didn't start dating until 18.
I met him through working at my part time job in highschool, at Dairy Queen.
I'm 25 now and he is 26. We got married in 2016.

what in the heck
we broke up for a few months in the middle, but overall it's been almost 11 months with my boyfriend. it doesn't seem like a lot, but we're 16 and 17 y/o, so it's a long time for me. we don't get to see each other a lot b/c we're both busy with school and work, but i'm still happy to be with him
We met when I was 16, and he was 15 about to turn 16 I believe. He was in my art class, and a mutual friend of ours introduced us and then proceeded to ditch us which ensued an extremely awkward silence. My fiance was making weird noises in class, and I proceeded to think he was a weirdo and had no idea why our mutual friend was friends with him. xD Because of the insane awkwardness I finally decided to break the silence, and asked him about the counselor because I wanted to switch out of this class. We had a small conversation, and the next day in class we conversed as well. It wasn't until the 3rd day he and I really hit it off, and we had a lot of fun talking, but it was also the day where I switched out into creative writing. He ended up finding me in the hallway and asked about the creative writing class, which he proceeded to do the same thing as I did and switched out of art and followed me into the creative writing class. Later on he told me he was interested in that class, but he also wanted to continue being friends with me.
It was around this time I got into a relationship that lasted 3 1/2 years. My fiance liked and perhaps was in love with me during this duration (I was completely unaware at the time) but he respected that I was in a relationship, and was happy for me as long as I was happy. He even became friends with my ex as well. Our friendship was extremely deep in comparison to all of my others, and we were able to reveal so much about ourselves to one another. I started developing some feelings for him early on, but I suppressed and denied them and they eventually went away. The next year my fiance and I stopped having our close friendship, because he pushed me away due to some major problems he had in his life that he didn't want to drag me into (but I didnt know this at the time so I assumed he cared more about his other friendships more than me) We barely spoke for 2 years, but still found a way to be in one anothers' lives somehow, whether he stayed at my house for a place to stay, or occasionally messaging online.
The first year of us not talking was his fault, the 2nd year was mine due to the anger I had of him pushing me away the first year.. (I thought he pushed me away because he didn't care about me, I did not find out the actual reason until later on) My fiance and I still didn't talk until he got his life together and joined the military. It was there where he ended up realizing that he had been in love with me this entire time, and he contacted me out of nowhere to admit his feelings. That's when I revealed to him I actually got into a new relationship and did not feel the same. But after that he and I became best friends once again (because I realized he actually did care about me), and eventually began spending every day together talking online. We had this friendship for about half a year. Eventually I began enjoying spending time with him more than my ex boyfriend, and it took me awhile to admit that he and I were so much more compatible. My ex and I eventually broke up due to lack of issues involving commitment on his end. And my fiance and I began to spend more time than ever in our long distance friendship.
During this friendship he and I became even stronger and closer than ever. The bond we had was so much more stronger than when we were kids. Not only that but he and I both became stronger and better people as well. Then one day it hit me that my fiance was everything I had ever been looking for this entire time. It took me so long to look past all of his mistakes in the past, and accept him purely for the person who he is now. And that was extremely hard for me to do because so many of the things that he did completely went against all of my values. I saw his actions as something that was reflective of his character rather than seeing how helpless he must of felt in order to do those things. Once I was able to do that, I finally realized that he was everything I wanted, and I couldn't believe how long it took me to realize it. We admitted our feelings to one another, and he came and visited me on leave. Now he and I are engaged, and hopefully are going to marry as soon as we can. I'm visiting him again in a week, but I unfortunately can't marry him yet because he's getting out of the military in a few months and it would complicate things for his living situation. But after he's out I guess he and I will be throwing a real wedding. It took quite awhile, and it was a really long journey... But I'm glad he and I finally figured everything out in the end. And now I get to look forward to spending the rest of my life with him. c:
