How long have you been dating your boyfriend/girlfriend?

It's been about a year and a half now. We're both 18. We met at my first job in summer of 2016, serving popcorn at a movie theater lol.
Our relationship was really rocky at first. I was in a long distance relationship and he flirted with every girl lmaoo. But neither of us were happy living this way. I craved a relationship where I could be myself, and I hated long distance. He wanted someone he could actually be romantic with and commit to.
I broke up with my ex boyfriend due to the distance and we started talking for a few months.
Everyone at work started noticing how close we were getting and would tease us haha but we didn't mind.^^
We started hanging out outside of work on our days off, and talked on the phone for hours..
We were basically polar opposites when we met, and now we're the two most inseparable people.
Due to some reasons, he had to leave his parents and he's now currently living with me and my family.
I wouldn't have it any other way. <3
 
We've officially been dating for 2 months, but it's an interesting story.

(Info: I'm 15, she's turning 17 soon + she lives 5 hours away up north from me)

I was in a lovely relationship with an amazing guy (Who I call McDreamy bc yay GA) and honestly I was so in love... like, my heart beat for that boy, so when he broke up with me I was goddamn destroyed. Anyways, I turn to the only person I can think of, the only one who hadn't ditched me- my best friend (Also someone I idolise)We met in 2016, and honestly she's so wonderful.
So, she's pulling me through all of this and I'm thinking a lot about how even when I had a breakdown and vanished from the net she didn't think any less of me, she was stood right there when I came back online. And I'm thinking about how I really do not deserve her love because I was a horrible friend, like I did all the things friends are never meant to do, but she didn't care. I kind of start to really have a big crush on her and then it happens.
She asks me out, and oh my God I said yes so fast.
There was a point I became really scared that maybe I wasn't actually over Mcdreamy, or maybe he wasn't over me and maybe he'd ask me out again and I didn't know how to handle that - but the feeling passed. The dust has settled, I don't miss him anymore and I can only put that down to the fact I'm now dating somebody who loves me much much more.
I really love this girl, like I just want her to be happy and to be able to follow through with her college options and I hate that she has a hard time, she is just somebody so amazing I can't believe how lucky I am.

12 years and 5 months. That's a lot of years whenever I think about it. It's not perfect but I'd confidently say that there's no one like her and there's no one that could ever beat her when it comes to what she's done for me.
 
My fianc? and I have known each other for 2 and a half years, but we have been together as a couple for a year and seven months. We are getting married in July! :blush: He's a year and a half older than me. Currently, I'm 26 and he's 27.

7 and a half years now.

Everyone's stories are so cutesy, mine seems so bland in comparison.

I first started dating my boyfriend a little over three and a half years ago. It was the summer of year 10 and we were both 15. A mutual friend of ours was doing some sort of media coursework, and asked us both to help out in the making of a video game review show of sorts - I was doing camera work and he was presenting. During the week , the other guys in tech picked up on the fact that I thought the guy presenting was kinda attractive, and teased me mercilessly over our headsets. Eventually we both worked up the courage to confess our feelings, and it turns out this guy had been interested in me for months before I even knew his name, even though we shared most of our classes together.

Although everything was pretty awkward and cringey at the start of our relationship (isn't every teenage romance that way?), everything now feels so safe and secure, despite having to make our relationship more long distance because of university. I stayed at home to study law, and he moved to study psychology three hours away, which means we can still visit each other often without feeling much strain. He's now 19 and I'm 18, and in all that time, he's been my rock through a lot of turmoil in my life; whether it be mental health issues, domestic abuse, or family feuds, he's been entirely supportive throughout it all. And I hope that by the end of our respective degrees we'll still be as close as ever.
 
I've been dating my boyfriend for 7 months now, but we've been friends for over 10 years
 
This thread makes me feel like I can find the one but reality has other plans for me....

Good luck to everyone else! ^-^
