My husband:
We met in college at the cafeteria. He was a cashier, I would get in early and get some breakfast before class. We hung out together at the nerdish table. One night, after a DnD game he asked me come back to his house and watch Firefly. It was nerd love after that. We are both pirates, and we learned we had just missed each other in meeting by a day 2 years earlier because we were both working on tall ships.
My boyfriend:
We met at my 4 year college. We were in a class together, but neither he nor I, were in any place mentally or emotionally to understand we both liked each other. About a year later, we were in another class together this time on better footing. Things really started to heat up after our final presentation, he and I presented a live bondage demo while we both lectured about consent, BDSM, and its viability as a paraphilia.
After that, we both started lightly dating, both of us new to non-monogamy. Then we turned into FwB's. After about a year of FwB the day before he left for his Masters (its out of state) I declared my love for him - of all the days April 1st. He felt the same, have been officially a girlfriend ever since. I am in a long distance relationship with him. But he will be moving back to my state with he fiancee when he is done with his Masters.
