Dan and Cameran have known each other for a long time. They went to junior high together. They went to high school together. But they never talked. It was one of those things where they knew each other existed, but they weren't really friends. This all changed after high school. Dan would leave into the military but when he would come back home to visit, there was this cute girl hanging with all of his friends. So of course, he would talk to her.
Read MoreThey met at work. Kyan told me that when he first met Beth she was "really annoying" which I thought was hilarious. He said it didn't take long though (a couple of shifts) to realize that Beth wasn't "trying really hard" but rather she was "just that funny". A friendship would blossom. Beth, for her part, really liked Kyan from the very beginning. He was "cute" and "a really good guy". And while their friendship began to grow, Kyan and no clue that the feelings weren't matched on either side.
Read MoreSometimes things align in the right way, and bring two people together who would never have met otherwise. For Stephon and Maria, this is how I think of their story. Maria, visiting Hawaii on vacation from her staying Australia, was out looking to get some drinks with her friend. They picked a bar. The same bar that Stephon and his air force friends had also picked (they were there for a little while from where they were stationed in Japan). Two people, from two totally different parts of the world, end up going to the same bar.
Read MorePierre and Molly like the same drink (Tequila on the rocks), and several years ago Pierre was in CDA visiting when he and her happened to order the same drink. Now, to be fair, the fact they ordered the same drink is just a cool little fact, it wasn't what brought them together. In fact, Pierre said their eyes locked from across the room, so he got up, walked over to her and said "do I know you from somewhere?" Molly, for her part, thought she also recongized him. Pierre has such a genuine smile, and kind manner, that it is easy to think of him as someone you've talked with before. In this case, neither of them knew each other.
Read MoreThe more couples I meet the more I see that there is no "normal" way to meet people anymore. Well, kind of, as meeting online is probably the most popular way for a couple to meet. This is exactly how Colton and Madison met for the first time. They both swiped right. However, neither of them had ever met someone online before, so they didn't meet right away. In fact, it took months for them to decide to "go for it". If I remember the first place they met was at a Mexican restaurant.
Read MoreThey met in school. Both of them were training to be radiology tech's, and Rob saw a beautiful girl sitting in the class with an open seat next to her. So, being the charismatic, kind guy he is, he went and sat next to her. I asked him why he sat next to her, if it was because he thought she was cute or not, and he said "psh, absolutely!" - Rob had his eye on Shianne from day one.
