Hey Pandas, What's Something That Someone Did That Completely Swept You Off Your Feet? (Closed)

My husband and I have known one another since high school, but didn't date back then. We reconnected about 10 years after we graduated (hadn't seen each other that whole time), and have been together ever since.

We bought a home after being together for maybe 9 years and married for about a year, and about one year after that, we adopted a puppy. I had been yearning for a dog of my own for a long time, and a rather large litter of pitbull-boxer mix pups were being adopted out from a reputable place nearby.

I had the luxury of working extremely close to our home, so I was able to tend to daytime puppy needs and provide attention and really proper "all-day" crate training because I could come and have him out every couple of hours when he was very small, and lengthen the reasonable crated time as he got older.

My husband and I are both supporters of the idea that you can effectively communicate with and train a dog with both non-verbal cues, and by talking to them "normally", and it has worked well for us. (And, well, our dog is just such a good boy anyway!)

About a year into our puppy "journey", I realized that my husband NEVER used whistling as a training tool or attention-getter...

Because I can't whistle.

Pretty sure this is one of the sweetest and most genuinely thoughtful things anyone has ever done for me.

Years ago, one day I went to answer the doorbell, and standing in front of me was a delivery man, who asked if I were the person he named from the delivery card. When I affirmed that I was, he then presented me with a long , narrow, white box wrapped with a red, satin ribbon.
When I opened the box, there were 2 Dozen Long ⚘Stem Red Roses enclosed!! I was Stunned and Thrilled when I saw them!!!! I didn't know who had sent them or why, until I read the card inside stating: "Happy Birthday" 🎈and "Love"❤ and my Boyfriend's name.
My parents and brother were curious as to whom had purchased them and had them Delivered, rather than bringing them in person. One Dozen of Those Roses would have been Wonderful,
But with 2 Dozen, I felt like a Princess!!! 👑 🤗

The dog that failed to stop and made me do an unwanted somersault as I was on the way to see the practice nurse at the doctors surgery. She was still laughing a week later.

This sounds silly but he held my hands looked me in the eyes and asked me to be his girlfriend.

I fell in love at 16 with a young man of the same age that lived 6,000 miles away. He was on holiday and we spent a magical 2 weeks together until he had to go home. We were devastated that we would be separated even though we knew it was unavoidable. We corresponded by mail for 8 months before he could afford to come back and visit me for another 2 weeks. My parents had us sleep in separate bedrooms, but we were not having sex yet, so it was fine. We had a great time while he was here and we were both desperately sad when he had to leave, again. This was before the internet or cell phones, so international calling was extremely expensive. A 30 minute call cost US$50, the equivalent is over US$200 in 2021. We continued writing letters, but it took 2 weeks for my letter to reach him and another 2 weeks for his reply to reach me (I still have all his letters after more than 30 years). After another 8 months of corresponding, I had saved up enough money to go visit him. It was winter break of my last year of high school, a few months before my 18th birthday when I finally arrived in his home town. While there, we went shopping for Christmas presents. We were walking in front of a jewelry shop, on our way to the local department store a few buildings away, when I stopped to look at the displays in the window. I was immediately drawn to a small silver heart-shaped locket and told him that I planned to get something like it for my baby sister who was just about to turn 3 and maybe one for myself, too. He told me that my comment was so sweet, gave me a quick kiss, and we continued on to the department store where we separated so we could shop for each other. After about a half-hour we met back up and shopped for Christmas gifts for his relatives and friends. It was the best holiday of my life and he did so many things that swept me off my feet, it is difficult to choose just one instance. Besides giving him my virginity and him responding in the most loving and sweet way possible, the next most memorable part of the entire vacation occurred on Christmas morning. After all the gifts had been opened, he handed me a small box. When I opened it, my heart skipped a beat, as laying inside was the small heart-shaped locket. Swept off my feet throughout the entire relationship, but this one moment has stayed with me more vividly than most. I still have the locket in my jewelry box. I broke up with him when I went off to college (so sad), but I did not want to live in his country and he did not want to live in mine either; it was time for us both to move on. We lost touch for a decade, until he tracked me down using the internet. He came to see me again and I returned the favor, and, although neither of us ever married and we still care deeply for each other, we are not compatible for everyday life together. We agree on this: he still strives to be Peter Pan and I grew up. It is much easier to stay in touch now with texting and email, so we do so several times a year. He and I remain close to this day.

My husband started his sentence with... "this might sound bad, but..." and then proceeded to say the most romantically practical thing you can say to someone you've chosen as your life partner. "I just don't get tired of you." I cherish that. I don't get tired of him, either.

I was talking to a young woman at a club (I was about 1 year older, just in case you are worried). Talking about 20 years ago now. She eventually just said "why haven't you kissed me?!?" ... I appreciate that kind of directness because as ASD I do not understand hints at all.

My friend platoniclly kissed me on the cheek. I swear to god I was so supprised but since I'm a touch starved mess (I hate hugs and i can't initiate physical contact I don't hate) I was so happy for the rest of the day? Never happened again though =(

Mine was when a man managed to sweep me off my feet 20 years after I last saw him. We dated regularly for 5 years, from time I was 14 until 19ish. Our lives were anything but conducive to star crossed love. I was a poorly supervised teen regularly living on the streets between hitch-hikes. He was a young man without family, trying to find any form of stable work that could keep him housed. Not an easy task for any man in rural Montana in the late 90’s, especially one of the only 3 black men living in our little version of deliverance. When I finally found stability by going to college, we both thought the opportunity for me to come visit him in his hometown in Suitland would be a refreshing change of pace. He welcomed me, and made every preparation on earth, even a surprise that he was almost done with training to obtain an entry-level job with the IRS which he believed could provide him stability, and he begin introducing me as his fiancé. I was 19 and had just found my first home myself in a dormitory, looking back I realized the prospect of marriage was too overwhelming for me at that young age. When I flew back home to Montana I couldn’t bring myself to answer the phone to tell him. I didn’t want to hurt him.

He called me every single day for two years. Some people might say that’s creepy, but when you never get an answer, I can only did you say that it was actually real love that kept him calling reaching out for me. It took me in tome my late 30s to understand this and I begin looking for him so that I can make amends. I found his brother I never knew he had. Who informed me that Deron died alone of pneumonia in 2009 at age 40.

Even before I knew he was gone, the fact that it took me 20 years to understand the true love behind his actions now that I have the wisdom of age and the benefit of hindsight, is when he finally broke through to my heart.

I turned 40 myself in 2021. I like to believe that even though he likely suffered because of my actions, it is because of his actions that I will be able to teach my own daughter better how to recognize genuine love, so that she might avoid the sin of spurning it in her youth follows this next 20yrs of shame and regret I well carry with me.

I was walking next to my crush to my next class and some dude who is way taller than both of us starts telling me that i'm stupid my crush who i actually didn't even know was next to me put his hand on my shoulder and didnt leave my side until the dude left

That time my friend blamed me for calling CPS.

tripped me

Not romantic in any way but made my day better:

I was feeling kinda down this one day. I had read a sad book, wrote the funeral scene for one of my characters, was feeling a bit homesick (We moved 1.5 years ago), and just didn't have much self-esteem that day. And one of my friends- being the dad friend that he is- pulls a cake that he had made the day before out of his pocket, and offered it to me.

For whatever reason, I turned it down.

My husband and I just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary last week. Rewind to 1999, as we were getting serious in our relationship. My sister and I ran into my future husband and his best friend walking out of a jewelry store. I immediately thought, OMG I'm getting engaged!!! He had to know what I was thinking and immediately cut my excitement short, promising he'd start saving for a ring when we got back from the vacation we were taking with friends later in the month. Fast forward a few weeks and we're in the smoky mountains jumping off a 20-30' cliff into a river. The cliff is on a road of waterfalls and we had jumped off it the past two vacations. You start by going over a small waterfall then swim as hard and fast as you can to grab a rope that helps you climb up the cliff. Great times the past two years, this year, I cut my toe on a rock. Further up the road is a gorgeous waterfall that you can literally walk behind (Dry falls, NC) but I didn't want to get out of the car because my toe hurt. He was able to talk me into coming out to see it where he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I can't think of a more romantic proposal and I almost ruined it twice. At the mall when he was picking out the ring and the day of because my wittle toe hurt.

I play in my school's string orchestra, and so does my crush. We recently went to a competition, and we woke up extremely early to be able to get there on time. (The competition was being held at a school that was in another town, one and a half hours away.) We got on the bus at our school at six am (It was also a Saturday, so people were complaining) and we talked the whole way there. After the competition, everyone got back on the bus and we all went to the mall. We shopped, ate lunch and then went back to the bus. On the way home, I accidentally fell asleep on her shoulder, because I hadn't slept correctly in days and we woke up early. When I woke up, her head was resting against mine, and she was drawing. She didn't notice I had woken up, so I closed my eyes again and we stayed like that for awhile. We got back to our school, and then we both went home.

TL;DR: One tired bass player fell asleep on her crush

Life is all about the simple things. My crush always holds the door for me no matter what. ❤️

I was tubing down a snowy slope and was waiting at the bottom, when someone tubed into my tube I had next to me. It bumped into my feet and I ended up falling into my tube

got fired from a very popular brand for having covid and not coming to work.
