For those who grew up watching teenage heartthrob movies in the 90s, the desire for a love story like those on screen was not uncommon. While it may seem rare, some individuals did find lifelong love starting as early as high school. These stories involve having a crush on someone and ultimately ending up with them later in life, with couples remaining together throughout the years. These real-life love stories serve as a reminder that genuine love can exist at any age.
An Absolute Hellion
One user said, “My mom married my dad, who was hot stuff. They met in college when he was an absolute hellion. But since then, he became a doctor, still a really fun dude. He’s also a licensed contractor, so when he was bored, he built a 6000-square-foot barn in our backyard over 10 years completely on his own. Absolutely a stand-up, dude.”
Geeky & Introverted
A second user added, “I married the cool, outgoing, outdoorsy, sporty high school jock. It turns out he’s secretly as geeky and introverted as I am. He’s still the same person 25 years later.”
The Cool Girl
A third user shared, “I married the cool girl. She was super athletic, and everyone was her friend. We started dating in high school. She’s kept up everything people loved about her. Nowadays, she isn’t as interested in other people and focuses on herself, her career, us, and our future. We’re planning to buy a house and have kids soon. I’m the breadwinner today, but I’m unsure if that’ll be true in a few years.”
The Mean Girl
A reader stated, “As it turned out, I married one of the mean girls, didn’t go to her school, and didn’t find out she was considered that til after the divorce. That’s how it turned out.”
An Amazing Human
A poster commented, “I dated one of the cool chicks. Did go to her school, did know she was considered that. And she is the most amazing human being I’ve ever known.”
Peaked In High School
This user said, “I’m the opposite of this question. I totally peaked in high school. I was cheerleading captain, valedictorian, and prom queen. Super involved and outgoing. Now I’m fat and unnoticeable, not pretty and maybe not ugly, just bland, and incredibly shy and reserved. I don’t really have many/any friends. I married my high school sweetheart, who was quiet and mostly flew under the radar- and now he is outgoing, successful, and more and more handsome by the year.”
Hot Headed
A user added, “We fell in love after we met a couple of years after graduation. She used to be the cool girl, and I was the quiet introvert. Found out that apart from being cool, she was also a very loving person. Married her. She gave meaning and purpose to my life. I can get through life only with her beside me. She is still as cool and as hot-headed as she was. She is quick to battle anyone and everyone if she thinks they are wrong (to my dismay).”
Cool & Funny
A top-liked comment said, “I’m an introvert, and he’s an extrovert. I never knew what to say to him in high school because he was so cool and funny. He intimidated me. Now our differences complement each other, I think, and we’re very happy.”
Prom King
A reader shared, “My husband was the prom king and star athlete. I was a super awkward marching band nerd with severe scoliosis and a heart condition. He’s always been sweet, silly, smart and kind. Still can’t believe we’re married. Honestly, we’re both dorks.”
Star Football Player
This poster commented, “My sister married the prom king/starting running back from her high school. He got fat but also is a nice dude who makes a killing running some kind of raw materials company. Doesn’t talk about the past at all.”
Same Awesome Dude
One user mentioned, “My high school friend was the “cool guy.” Everyone liked him, guys and girls. He never got into fights, was always instantly invited everywhere, and girls totally swooned over him. He’s still the same awesome dude. Hasn’t changed a bit. He married an incredibly hot nurse.”
No Social Skills
This poster shared, “My mom was the nerdy girl who got all A’s and had zero social skills, and somehow managed to start dating my dad, who was the popular, good-looking guy who everyone thought would peak in high school.”
Prom Queen
A user commented, “My brother married the popular girl. She was homecoming queen, prom queen, on varsity teams, in band, an honor roll student, beautiful, and super nice. 17ish years and 2 kids later, she is still a sweetheart, beautiful, and athletic.”
Still Winning
A reader said, “Found out recently that my dad was extremely popular in high school from my aunt. I had no idea he was an all-star football player with many college offers and was prom and homecoming king. Never talks about it, but he’s doing well. 2 kids, a dog, and a loving wife, in my opinion, he’s still winning.”
A Loving Person
A top-liked comment said, “My wife was the hot girl everyone gossiped about. She’s still super hot but is such a wonderful, supportive, loving person. It makes me sad no one took the time to get to really know her when she was young.”
Not The Fairytale She Wanted
This user commented, “Mom was the cool girl. Still is, still literally gets stopped by strangers talking about how cool/pretty/whatever she looks/acts. BUT divorced (husband cheated) and widowed (second husband died), so never really managed to get a happily ever after in romance.”
Class President
A poster shared, “My dad was super popular. Prom king, valedictorian, class president, football captain, etc. He has a high-ranking but normal role in a smallish to medium-sized company: a pretty normal guy and a good dad. If brought up, he will mention his high school years, but he doesn’t brag.”
Now A Gamer
This user said, “He was the one who had the 6 pack that all the girls swooned over. Very popular. I was not. Saw him after just leaving HS and started going out. Ended up getting married in our early 20’s. He never grew up. All he wanted to do was play online games. He would get in from work, walk past me to the spare room, go straight online, and play until the early hours. Get a bit of sleep, and go back to work. Same thing, again and again. Never wanted to go anywhere. Just wanted to game. Eventually, I gave him an ultimatum. He chose the game.”
Head Cheerleader
Finally, a reader said, “I married the homecoming queen, head cheerleader, and star basketball player. Yes, just one person. At 50, she’s still stunning with an amazing drive. We’re partners in real estate sales, and she’s the engine that keeps our team successful. I just keep trying not to mess it up.”
