No, I have not met anyone in an unusual way. I met my husband at an activity at my school, a fundraiser for the graduation of the seniors of that school year.

My husband and I are students at the same university. It is the first time to meet each other when my friends and his friends went to a trip together. At the trip, I noticed he often stares to me. It is always the remembering time for my life.

Yes I have. When I start a relation with my boyfriend, I don't want my friends to know. So I didn't tell them anything about him. But after my class in university, I went with my boyfriend to eat something. Unfortunately I met my best friends from university in this restaurant and they don't call me almost two weeks .

I met my boyfriend when we went a trip. At this time, his seat is infront of mine in express car. When I took photos of library opening ceremony, he asked me if he had took photos for me. It isn't very unusual way. Now we broke up. I miss him very much but he can't never know how I miss him.
