Valentine's Day is just around the corner and love is in the air. It must be time for Writing Challenge #3. Here are two questions for you. Choose one and write a paragraph in the comment section.1) How did you meet your current romantic partner?OR2) How did your parents meet?Now for the "twist". Your paragraph does not have to be true. You can write the true story or a fictional story. Readers can guess whether your paragraph is true or not (use the comment section). When the challenge ends(wait until the end so that everyone can guess), please come back and tell us if the story was fact or fiction!Here's my answer to number 1. wrestler

My girlfriend and I used to go to a bar every Monday night to watch WWF wrestling. The bartender gave us a free drink once in a while because he thought it was funny that two grown women watched wrestling. When he finished his shift he would always join "the wrestling girls" for a beer. We became good friends and after a few years of hanging out we started dating. I never watch wrestling anymore, but my husband and I have been together for ten years. We thank "The Rock" for getting us together. --Fact or Fiction?Take a guess. Then, write your own story.--Here are some phrases you can use in the comment section to say whether or not you believe a writer's story:"Tara, that can't be true.""I don't believe that, Josef.""That sounds like a true story, Lynne.""I doubt that.""You're pulling my leg, Lisa."--"twist"= a slight change; added fun or mystery"The Rock"=a famous wrestler and actor"hanging out"=spending time together casually

  • here's my story:

    My boyfriend and I met under the bridge when I brought my dog for a walk. I was dressed elegantly and walking gracefully when suddenly I tripped on a tiny pebble. I rolled over and quickly stood up. I wrestled to regain my composure and tried to release myself from my dog's cord coiled around my body when a tall, handsome jogger came to help me. I found myself paralysed and couldn't move for a minute when he was unwinding the long line wrapped around me. After the embarassing situation we became friends and now making plans for our marriage.
  • Hassan...your description of your wife sounds sincere. I believe you.
  • Great love stories. Marzouq, I believe you! expectorsmith...the twins part makes your story sound a bit like a fairytale. I think it's fiction. Nutt, I doubt that your parents met in a train station washroom! Funny story. I look forward to finding out the truth about these stories soon. Let's wait one more day to see if we have any more stories or guesses tomorrow.
  • Sorry about the typo: 'a imagined one'--→'an imagined one'.
  • My wife and I fist met on a sunny sunday morning, when we both were on vacation in Hawaii. "Where're you from? It's wonderful you can speak English. I'm a stranger here too, even though I'm American," smiled Carol. "Maybe we could meet again at the party tonight in the hotel." Thankfully, we shared the same hotel. Sure, we danced and kissed that night. One year later, the young beautiful,gorgeous American lady Carol became my beloved wife. Soon after, Carol gave birth to twins--my cute son and daughter. What a romantic international marriage!

    A real story, but possibly you'd think it's a imagined one! I'd say it's a real challenge to write a short sory like this. Now it's your turn--you can do!
  • Dear tara;
    It maybe a true story. But I agree with alba. I marriaged 4 years ago and after this 4 years I understand that everyday I live with my wife I love her more than before. Infact she is very kind and helpful. I hope I can be a good partner for her.
  • Hmm...these are tough. I'm going to guess that Jennifer's story is fiction and Alba's is fact. If it is fact, then I should say "Happy Anniversary".
  • Josef:I love your story,it sounds like Richard Oldington's novel.It can be true:)
  • Oh how I love stories, whether they are true or not!

    Nafis, I want to believe this very romantic story, but I'm afraid it sounds "too good to be true". You could base a romance novel on it, though. I think it's fiction.

    Ruzan: I hope this is a true account of your first meeting. It's such a cute description. I'm going to guess that it's fact!

    Josef: This too sounds like it should be a Jane Austen novel. I'm going to guess that this is fact, though. Maybe it just suits the picture you posted of your parents.
  • Ruzan, I doubt that. Josef, that sounds true story.

    I lived in Capital City, Tehran but one day my parents decided to take a vacation along the Caspian Sea, in a city called Rasht. We had a big villa there and in a sunny day, I went swimming. I was not very good swimmer so when a big wave came, I lost my balance and was not able to swim. I was screaming and trying to save myself that I felt a big strong hand grabbed me and got me out of the water. That was the moment I saw my sweatheart. He and his family just moved into the neighbourhood. After that, my father wanted to thank him and his family so we invited them to our house and gradulay, the seed of love grew.
