torn_curtain Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) The song "Us" by Regina Spektor captures how I feel right now. I'm about as unromantic as they come but I am positively giddy. Whatever happens in the future at this moment in time I am totally in love and that somehow makes all the heartache and disappointments worth it. I feel like the luckiest woman on earth, so lucky that he is mine, like I am getting away with something. I want to parade him around and show him off to all my friends. He is... Not only hot, whip smart, strong, masculine, assertive and decisive, energetic, nurturing, charming--qualities that most women like--but he has that something more...depth in his eyes, like he really SEES the world and sees me. He has a strong bull**** detector. That's the trait that matters to me most and it's so, so hard to find. He oozes natural charisma and can hold the attention of a crowded room if he wants it but he chooses not to because he values something more. He sees the world and he chose ME. Post your own happy stories here... Edited August 3, 2011 by torn_curtain
Author torn_curtain Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 Yawn. Haha. It seems appropriate that Cloud Guy would be trying to rain on someone's parade. But I don't care--I'm too happy right now.
orion1010 Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Blah Blah.. thanks for rubbing it in!! Just kidding. glad someone on here is feeling happy and in love. I think we all want that at some point. Single now, so no "happy crap" to post yet but I hope I will in the future.

Author torn_curtain Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 But you haven't met him, right? Haha pssh trying to rain on my parade! No I haven't because we live in different parts of the country but we video chat for several hours every night which I feel is pretty close. I'm sure my feelings for him will only deepen once we do meet in a few months. I can't wait.
Author torn_curtain Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 first hour when you meet him give him the best blow job hes ever had Is that the secret to winning his heart?
Els Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Why's everyone giving so much crap to the OP when plenty of others have posted happy threads and not been attacked?
Stung Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 t_c, I spent several months communicating with my husband online and via phone before we ever met in person. We were heavily interested in and intrigued by each other, definitely at least somewhat emotionally invested (although trying to convince ourselves we were just friends! ). I do believe that love can happen that way, a meeting of the minds, blending of the personalities via pixels. However, if I may, I would caution against getting too emotionally involved at this juncture, until you meet in person. Many, many online romances fail when real life is introduced, as hormones and pheromones and other ephemera come into play. I just think it's best to keep a little perspective in this unstable early phase. Anyway I have plenty of happy crap I can post here, my marriage is happy and my husband is a great match for me, but it seems the thread is already a little derailed. I do wish you luck with your romance.

I do wish you luck with your romance. Wise words. For awhile we tried to keep our emotions tempered but at a certain point it was obvious the feelings were there and it felt weird to hold them back or deny them. I'm willing to take that risk--and I do realize real risk is involved--because he's worth it. Edited August 3, 2011 by torn_curtain
zengirl Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Wait, here's my confusion on the OP. You think, "Us" is a happy song? I always thought that was a profoundly gray song, and I associate it with failed whirlwind romances. . . This isn't really to comment on your romance, but I am confused. Is my read of that song just weird? (Maybe it's because I associate the song with (500) Days of Summer, but also . . . just re-read the lyrics, and it's not precisely a straightforward love song.) At any rate, I have lots of "happy crap" but this thread seems an odd place to put it, as it seems like it's more about the OP now.

At any rate, I have lots of "happy crap" but this thread seems an odd place to put it, as it seems like it's more about the OP now. To me that song is about two flawed people who fall in love but I hate that movie and I groaned when it was used in that context. My dislike of that movie was actually one of my first selling points for him. What a delusional idea of love it portrays and what a totally one-sided, manchild fantasy Zooey is. What disturbs me is how many people respond to that movie: "Oh this movie is so realistic it totally describes my life." I hear people say that all the time and I'm like what reality are you living in you sad sad person. Anyway... I agree that "Us" isn't precisely a straightforward love song but I guess I'm responding more to the music than the lyrics themselves. Yes--post your happy crap! I don't want this thread to be all about me for goodness sakes. It was supposed to be an open thread. Here's another song that captures it: Edited August 3, 2011 by torn_curtain

I do wish you luck with your romance. I want to second this motion. I met my current boyfriend online too. We spent years talking all the time before we met in person, but I agree be careful about being emotionally invested in someone you haven't met face to face. Online does not always translate into reality. It's funny, before I met my boyfriend in person I thought I was totally in love with him, but after we met, I really pulled back on those feelings and realized we needed more time together in person to make those feelings grow. I love my boyfriend with my heart and soul and can't wait to tell him for the first time soon.
donnamaybe Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Happy crap? Okay. Here ya go! The other night after my sweety spent time making me wild crazy in bed, he then asked me to turn over on my stomach. Well, I thought he wanted a little doggy style... Nope. He said, "No. Lie down flat," then proceeded to just stroke my body all over, sending little shivers everywhere. It was positively exquisite, and it made me feel SO loved!

cutily Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) I feel the need to express here my own relative happiness! Well I'm single, and think I will remain this way for a long time. I met a guy that made me happy, unfortunately (for me) he is not single. But I accepted this and I cut contact with him, I'm sad because I miss him more than words can say, but I think I made a good action by putting her girlfriend's well being before mine. Now I know exactly what I want in a relationship, and I am ready to wait to have it. It may take a long time but I will wait. I won't settle for less than I'm worth. Edited August 3, 2011 by cutily

You sound very level-headed and strong. I like this post.
Mme. Chaucer Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I'm happy that you are in love and that it's mutual. I also met my bf online and it took a while before we could meet, because of conflicting travel schedules, but I was pretty darn certain that it would be for real. It was. Still, I have to caution you. Stuff like the bolded: strong, masculine, assertive and decisive, energetic, nurturing, charming--qualities that most women like--but he has that something more...depth in his eyes, like he really SEES the world and sees me. He has a strong bull**** detector. That's the trait that matters to me most and it's so, so hard to find. He oozes natural charisma and can hold the attention of a crowded room if he wants it but he chooses not to because he values something more. I do not believe you can POSSIBLY have an inkling about until you are interacting with a person in real life among other people and in real life situations. For example, how do you know he can hold the attention of a crowded room? Did he tell you that? How can you know that he has a "strong bs detector," which is your most valued quality? Because he says so, or because he can tell when YOU are bsing? Anyway, he might very well have all these qualities but your attributing them to him without meeting him or knowing him in real life might not be a very propitious way to begin. Too much, too soon without allowing for anything to be learned or revealed, and a possible set-up for disappointments.
Cee Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Here's something happy. My boyfriend moved into a new apartment with a good sized bathtub. I only have a shower at my place, so I miss taking a long soak in a tub with bubbles. Also, he has a large backyard, which is a luxury in my concrete city. I hope to learn to garden by planting herbs and easy to grow vegetables. I hope to one day live with him, but for now, I am planting a seed, so to speak.

My boyfriend gardens, and it's the cutest thing ever. I never dated a guy who really gardened before. He's so cheesy sometimes---he'll actually bring me flowers from his garden. That sounds totally lame, but it's really cute. Though yesterday he brought me tomatoes, which is more my speed.
OliveOyl Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Okay, here's my happy crap: Last night I was chatting with my BF. I was asking him how he felt about having a GF going through menopause. (So far, not many symptoms, but I'm 50, so it's not too far off). I said something along the lines of "it sucks, huh?" He replied, "no, not at all, in fact experiencing lifes changes with you kind of excites me." I thought that was soooo sweet... :love:
