Meca and Anthony

Facebook Love Story - Meca and Anthony

Meet Meca and Anthony who found love when they weren’t looking for it on Facebook.

Both Meca and Anthony shared a lot of mutual friends on Facebook. The two even attended offline events at the same time twice, but never actually met in-real-life (IRL).

For about four years, Meca and Anthony were digital friends on Facebook, but they never really had much contact with each other.

Since Meca was divorced, she spent time on online dating sites looking for someone special to date. Last spring she began blogging about her experiences with online dating and posted them on her Facebook page.  At the same time, she was super-busy with her start-up business.

Anthony enjoyed reading her blogposts and would send her messages in private emails on Facebook. He wanted to know why a girl like her was single. Their romance developed on Facebook chat privately and finally they decided to exchange phone numbers.

Meca was very hesitant at first, especially as Anthony was an artist. As an accessory designer, Meca didn’t think she wanted to date an abstract painter. “I don’t date artists,” she proclaimed. Soon they discovered that they were indeed soul mates and have been together for seven blissful months.

The two remain friends on Facebook, where Meca is very social and posts random daily updates about her personal life and business. Anthony posts about twice a week. They’ve decided to save the mushy stuff for the privacy of their inbox.

Congratulations to Meca and Anthony, our featured Facebook Love Story couple of the Week.

Lauren and Daniel

Facebook Love Story - Lauren and DanielMeet Lauren and Daniel who found love with the help of Facebook.

While Lauren and Daniel met in person for the first time offline at an Art Walk in downtown Jacksonville, Florida, they didn’t really talk or get to know each other at that time. A few days later, the two became friends on Facebook,  since they both had several friends in common.

For several months, Daniel would visit Lauren’s Facebook profile and “like” several of her status updates. It wasn’t until Lauren asked an open question to her friends about social media for work purposes,  that Daniel responded to her status update.

Daniel lent a helping digital hand and commented frequently to Lauren’s work questions, until finally after many back-and-forth messages,  Lauren agreed to meet Daniel for coffee.

Their coffee date was memorable for the two of them. Coffee quickly turned into drinks and dinner.

The two have been attached at the hip ever since and always say thank you to Facebook for making them a happy couple!

Congratulations to Lauren and David who took their offline encounter into an online chat and IRL romance.

Diva Taunia and Jake

Facebook Love Story - Taunia and JakeMeet Taunia and Jake who found the love of their lives again on Facebook.

It all started twenty years ago when Taunia met Jake in college. The two dated for 2.5 years and then went their separate ways to pursue their career aspirations.

“We always knew we were each other’s ‘true love,’’ said Taunia.

Twenty years and a lot of life lessons went by. Taunia had gastric bypass surgery in 2008. She got married, established her musical career, and developed an online following, particularly on Facebook.

Tania reconnected with one of Jake’s sisters on Facebook. When Jake’s sister noticed Tania’s relationship status as “Divorced,” she told her brother, who then contacted Taunia to reconnect. The two have been inseparable ever since.

This past Christmas, Jake surprised Tania with the best gift ever. He took her to Paris for a romantic holiday trip. Jake proposed to Tania in front of the Eifel Tower. The two were married in the summer of 2013 and could not be happier.

Sophie and Trevor

Facebook Love Story - Sophie and TrevorMeet Sophie and Trevor who fell in love on Facebook.

How did these two who lived in Indiana and England find each other on the world’s largest social network?

It all started in the fall of  2007, when Trevor was going to a University in Indiana.

At the same time, Sophie was living in Leeds, England running her own business. Neither was interested in developing a long-distance relationship.

The two happened to join a “Star Wars” fan group on Facebook, where they entertained themselves collaborating on fan fiction. Sophie and Trevor became fast friends as they got to know each other over the period of just three months.

In the summer of 2008, Sophie and Trevor decided to finally meet in person. They decided that Berlin would be the city for their first date. Later that year, they both realized that they were falling in love.

Over the next several years they commuted between Indiana and England as their relationship flourished. Both Sophie and Trevor acknowledge that Facebook played a huge part in keeping them connected, during the time of their long-distance relationship

In 2012, the two finally got married in New York City . They just celebrated their first anniversary and are madly in love and finally living on the same continent, in each other’s arms in the Big Apple.

Congratulations to Sophie and Trevor who allowed their Facebook romance to flourish while living in different countries across the Atlantic.

Patience and Sam

Facebook Love StoriesMeet Patience and Sam who fell in love on Facebook.

In 1984, Patience Smith knew Sam Bloom as the wildly popular senior who always found new ways to be in the spotlight. Many in their class would call him the class clown. By contrast, Patience was a wallflower. She had a crush on Sam but said he was “out of her league.” They never dated and barely acknowledged each other in the halls. During a formal dance, after her date had ditched her, Patience was shocked when Sam asked her to dance and pulled her into a random picture. They still have that picture.

Twenty-six years went by. Sam had married/divorced and lived in Israel, teaching college and high school French. Patience had gone into publishing in New York and had serial-dated for two decades. She was 41-yeats-old and was completely over the New York dating scene which she jokingly refers to as “buffet dating.”

Both were at a crossroads in their lives and the timing was perfect. In August 2009, in the “Suggested Friends” section on Facebook, Sam noticed “the little redhead” as one of his options and “friended” Patience immediately. For Patience, it was a no-brainer to be in contact with such a popular person from high school and she further attracted him by “liking” his morose status updates. He finally picked up the phone and called her. Their first phone conversation lasted for over two hours and their bond over the phone, on Skype and on Facebook then led to a visit four-months after they reconnected.

One Facebook friendship and three months of Skype dates later convinced them that this was “something.” He asked if he could visit and possibly “marry and father her children.” Patience said all of her girlfriends thought she was crazy, but she knew there was a connection there. In fact, they had a deal. He would come visit and would leave if they thought it was weird. Fortunately, that was not the case.

On December 17, 2009, Sam uprooted himself to go west and saw Patience for the first time in twenty-six years. He ended up staying in New York. On their first visit to his father’s house in Miami, Sam dug out the original picture of them, which he’d kept all these years. They were married on January 16, 2011 and live in New York.

Congratulations to Patience and Sam, our featured couple in Facebook Love Stories.
