Short Romantic Love Stories

A girl asked a boy if she was pretty, he said "No". She asked him if he wanted to be with her forever, he said "No". Then she asked him if he would cry if she walked away, he said "No". She had heard enough; she needed to leave.As she walked away he grabbed her arm and told her to stay. He said "You're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don`t want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die."

A man bought 12 flowers. 11 real and 1 fake. He said, "I will love you until the last flower dies."

One night a guy and a girl were driving home from the movies. The boy sensed there was something wrong because of the painful silence they shared between them that night. The girl then asked the boy to pull over because she wanted to talk. She told him that her feelings had changed and that it was time to move on.A silent tear slid down his cheek as he slowly reached into his pocket & passed her a folded note.
At that moment, a drunk driver was speeding down that very same street. He swerved right into the drivers seat, killing the boy. Miraculously, the girl survived. Remembering the note, she pulled it out & read it. "Without your love, I would die."

There was a girl named Becca and a boy named Joe. Becca was in a burning house. None of the firefighters could get in the house because the fire was too big. Joe dressed in one of the fire suits and got into the house. When he got up the stairs, the steps fell off behind him. When he got into her room he sealed the door up behind him. He held her tight, kissed her, huged her, then said that he loved her. She asked what was wrong, and he said that he was going to die. Her eyes widened as she began to cry. He picked her up and jumped out of the four story house. He landed on his back with her on top of him. He died to save her life.

There was girl who loved a boy so much she said to the boy, "If I told you that I liked you, would you take it as a joke?"
The boy said, "Yes I would."
She asked, "Why?"
The boy replied, "Because I know you don't like me, I know you love me!"

A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on a motorcycle.
Girl: Slow down. I'm scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, it's too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down! Guy: Now give me a big hug. (Girl hugs him)
Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on? It's bugging me.
In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of brake failure. Two people were on the motorcycle, but only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his brakes broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him, felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so she would live even though it meant he would die.

Girl: Can I confess something?
Guy: Sure!
Girl: You have the prettiest smile I've ever seen.
Guy: Can I confess something as well?
Girl: Yeah.
Guy: This smile only exists because Of you!

Once a guy said to a girl: "Love is like a rainbow, it's colourful and makes people smile.
Love is like an ocean, it's deep and beautiful.
Love is like the sun, it shines and it's warm.
Love is like rain, it's calm and refreshing.
Will you let me show you that love?"

The girl shook her head while smiling: "No"

The guy looked down sadly and then he heard her saying these words: "I want you to show me YOUR love..."

One day, a lover was angry with his girlfriend and tried to stab her with a knife. He accidentally cut his own finger badly with the knife, started bleeding, and knelt down in pain. His girlfriend bent down and bandaged up his finger and tended to him.

There was a blind girl who was filled with animosity and despised the world. She didn't have many friends, just a boyfriend who loved her deeply, like no one else. She always used to say that she'd marry him if she could see him. Suddenly, one day someone donated her a pair of eyes.

And that's when she finally saw her boyfriend. She was astonished to see that her boyfriend was blind. He told her, "You can see me now, can we get married?"

She replied, "And do what? We'd never be happy. I have my eye sight now, but you're still blind. It won't work out, I'm sorry."

With a tear in his eye and a smile on his face, he meekly said, "I understand. I just want you to always be happy. Take care of yourself, and my eyes."

Boy: I would like you to do something important for me.
Girl: Yes?
Boy: When you get home today, thank your mom for me.
Girl: Sure, but why?
Boy: Thank her because she gave birth to an angel who was put into my life and one day whom I hope will become my wife.

A boy was dating a girl who always hurt him. One day, she broke up with him and told him, "I don't ever want to see you again."

A few months later, the girl had a change of heart. She realized that she loved the boy, so she went back and said to him, "Give me just one more chance. I love you and I need you. I promise that I will never hurt you again."

But the boy just laughed and said to her, "Only a fool would take back someone who hurt them so much."

The girl felt hopeless and began to cry, but the boy put his arms around her, held her tightly and said, "...and I am one of those fools."

12 “How We Met” Stories That Will Restore Your Faith In True Love

1. Love at First Beard

Loryn Brantz / BuzzFeed

“I met my husband at a gay bar. I looked at this guy with this beautiful beard and I thought, I’m going to marry that man.

It was the WEIRDEST thing! It was like every bone in my body directed me toward him. Time literally SLOWED DOWN! I walked over to him and said, ‘Can I touch your beard?’ 
That was February 2008, and we got married in September of that same year. Seven years later, I have never doubted for any moment that I married my soulmate. And I know how lucky I am. Can you imagine? I LOOKED at this man, and some weird force that is so much more powerful than myself moved me to him.”

2. A One-Way Ticket to Love

“The first time I saw him, we were sitting at the gate for our flight to Chicago. I remember glancing over at him and thinking, Oh, wow, he’s cute. When I got to my seat, I saw that the seat beside me was empty and thought, How awesome would it be if he ended up next to me?

Sure enough, a family in his row wanted to sit together so he asked the flight attendant if he could take the empty seat beside me. We spent the entire flight discussing everything. And then, the flight landed.

He asked for my number and we went our separate ways. I was certain I would never hear from him again. I thought about him often, but eventually he faded into the ‘missed connections’ category. A few months later, out of the blue, he sent me [a message that said] ‘Happy New Year.’ We hit it off like nothing ever changed.

We’ve been married for three years now and have two children.”

“I’m Australian and was traveling in the Middle East. I met my American now-husband in Alexandria, Egypt. He was in the Peace Corps in Moldova and had been traveling with some friends. We met in the hotel lobby; they were speaking Moldovan, then English, so I stopped to ask them, ‘What on earth?’

We all went out to dinner that night but I had to leave the next day to go back to Cairo. But I was stranded in Cairo, because my ferry to Jordan had been delayed by bad weather.

Two days later I’m walking through the bus station in Cairo and someone calls out my name. It’s my new handsome friend! And we’re getting on the same bus! We had an extra six hours to get to know each other. We were long-distance for the next year and a half, then I moved to America.

We got married last year and are still blissfully happy! You never know where you’ll find the one you’re meant to be with!”

“One mild February Texas night, I left the door open because I was waiting for a late date to arrive. While I waited, an adorable Lhasa Apso ran into my apartment, followed by an equally adorable silver fox of a guy.

We talked forever. Two months passed until an actual first date, which was the WORST either of us had ever had. Long story short, we were engaged five weeks later and married in March, a year after we met. (The other guy missed his chance. I can’t even remember his name.)”

6. Laughing With a Broken Car

“My car broke down during rush hour… I was standing helpless on the sidewalk looking desperately at my car. All I could do was laugh it off.

He saw me laugh from his vehicle and asked me why I was laughing if my car broke down. My answer? ‘I have two options: Be upset or be happy. I chose to be happy and laugh.’ So he pulled over and helped me with my car, and we became really good friends.

Two years later, we finally realized we’re in love… and looking forward to laughing off our problems.”

“My husband and I met at our karate studio in 2002. I was 10 and he was 15.

We trained in different age groups but knew each other most of our lives. We both black-belted and became instructors and that is when we started to get to know each other. We got married last December!”

8. Online Romance Outside of OKCupid

“We met online, but not online dating or any means of hooking up. We were both battling with depression, and we found each other in a chatroom for those looking to talk to others who knew what that weight felt like and to feel for a moment less alone.

It started out slowly, from talking to one another in the main chatroom to sending private chat messages whenever we saw each other online. It wasn’t until we exchanged Skype information that we started talking daily, and not just one or two messages a day, but for hours on end.

While we’ve yet to meet face-to-face, we video chat with each other and send frequent video messages as well as continue to chat daily — and though it might be an unusual story, it’s ours.”

9. The Couple That Sings Together

Loryn Brantz / BuzzFeed

“We were both auditioning for roles in a musical adaptation of School House Rock! I was on crutches because of a devastating break-dancing incident, but I still got up and belted Grease’s ‘Hopelessly Devoted.’

He followed my audition by singing ‘Moon River’ and looking absolutely intriguing in his My Chemical Romance shirt. We both got the parts and spent the next few months getting to know each other while singing about the correct usage of adjectives and ‘I’m Just a Bill.’

The last night of the show he taught me how to stage kiss and that was it. Eight years later, I’m proud to say that we are happily married and very much in love!”

10. The One With the Coat

“This is my grandparents’ story, not mine, but I love it and I always beg my grandpa to tell it.

It was wartime in Britain and they were in the same factory in Nottingham making IFF sets. One day a group of ladies who worked there came in late, still with their coats on and dripping water everywhere, and the foreman angrily ordered them to take their coats off. They all did, barring one.

My grandpa’s friend went over to chat to them later, and then came back and said triumphantly: ‘Seven o’clock. Saturday night. In the square. You’re going on a date!’ My grandpa, a bit nonplussed, said, ‘OK, but which one did you ask?’ ‘The one who didn’t take her coat off, of course,’ she replied.

They were married 1946–2004.”

11. Do You Like Pie?

Loryn Brantz / BuzzFeed

“It was freshman year of high school. I was sitting on the bus going home. Someone tapped me on the shoulder — I turned around and there he was. He said, ‘Excuse me, do you like pie?’

Out of surprise I blurted out, ‘Yes.’ He then asked, ‘What kind?’ I answered, ‘Blueberry pie.’ He said thank you and turned around. That was it! He only wanted to know my pie preference.

We started dating a year and a half later.

Twelve years later we are married, and I’m sitting next to my daughter watching cartoons :-)”

“I believe I was around 3 years old. Some say that’s too young, but we didn’t care. Chocolate and I have been inseparable ever since.”

The Story Behind "Love You Forever" Is Probably Not What You Thought

"I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
as long as I'm living
my baby you'll be."

You'll probably recognize those words from Robert Munsch's children's book, Love You Forever. It's among the best-selling kids' books of all time, but it still tends to provoke very different responses among parents. Depending on who you talk to, it's either either a touching account of a mother's unending love or the ultimate example of helicopter parenting gone bad.

I admit I have always subscribed to that latter category. It pains me to say it, because I love Mr. Munsch's books. Mud Puddle, Mortimer, The Paperback Princess, Smelly Socks,Stephanie's Ponytail, Too Much Stuff: There are well-worn copies of each of them on my daughters' bookshelf. But while we own a copy of Love You Forever – who doesn't? – I've always found the story to be a little bit creepy.

To recap, the book begins with a mother rocking her newborn baby, singing that now-familiar song as he drifts off to sleep. From there the baby grows into a trouble-making toddler, a caked-in-dirt little boy, a sulky teenager and, eventually, a husband and father with a baby of his own. Through it all, every night, even after he's moved into his own home, his mother sneaks into his bedroom, pulls him from bed and rocks him while she sings him their song.

I've read Love You Forever dozens of times over the years, but today I learned the story behind the book: It was originally written as a song for the author's two stillborn babies.

As Mr. Munsch writes on his web site:

"I made that up after my wife and I had two babies born dead. The song was my song to my dead babies. For a long time I had it in my head and I couldn't even sing it because every time I tried to sing it I cried. It was very strange having a song in my head that I couldn't sing.

For a long time it was just a song but one day, while telling stories at a big theatre at the University of Guelph, it occurred to me that I might be able to make a story around the song.

Out popped Love You Forever, pretty much the way it is in the book."

Thanks to that book, countless parents have sung that song to their own children, in different countries and different languages, in different tunes and styles. Here is how it sounds to Mr. Munsch:

After learning the story behind the story, I'm finding it hard to stay cynical. I read Love You Forever again this morning and saw it in a new light. Not as the tale of a mother who just can't let go, but as a testament to the love that persists beyond time and space, and an ode to those parents who never had the chance to rock their babies.

And for the first time, when I read Love You Forever today, I cried.
