True stories from real-life humans who fell head over heels via LiveJournal, Twitter, YouTube, and more.

“I started following [my now boyfriend] on Twitter in spring of 2012, and I became immediately charmed by his hilarious quips. I fan-girled over him for weeks before I finally got the notification that he followed me back on Twitter one day when I was eating lunch in Central Park.
After months of fave-ing each other’s tweets, we finally met accidentally at a shoot for a mutual friend's web-series. He wasn't how I imagined him, and he wasn't really my type — a little too eager, a little bit awkward. There was no immediate spark, but we did become friends. He started Facebook chatting me almost daily, though, and the rest is history.
As he's become a more successful comedian, with thousands of more followers than when we met, I sometimes think about all the other girls who have internet crushes on my boyfriend; will he date one of them if we break up? But then I realize that even after we met, it took us months to go on a real date, let alone fall in love. The internet brought us together, but it was slowly developing a real-life connection that actually made it count.”
“I have long nursed a Tumblr crush on a gentleman who lives far, far away and seems totally unsuitable (this is my type, to be fair). My M.O. of liking a medium number of his posts has gotten me nowhere with him, but the furiously interrogating an IRL friend whom he reblogs from time to time has resulted in long-lasting embarrassment and the question, “Hey girl, you doing okay? You dating?”
