I've loved reading about everyone's real and fictitious meet-cutes. As for me, my favourite would have to be in The Fifth Element, where Milla Jovovich falls through the roof of Bruce Willis' taxi! It was brilliant, unexpected, and Brucie was heart-meltingly tender towards her. Not quite a traditional romance story, of course, but definitely a meet-cute.

When I first met my husband, in Glasgow Scotland, I thought he was English taking the P***S out of a Scottish accent. My boss told me he was more Scottish than I was since he'd been born in Oban. Two weeks later, he asked me to marry him (I obviously made an impression) and I did six months later. That was thirty-two years ago!! I know, you get less time for murder! Recently he told me he'd never had a boring moment. How I wish I could say the same! (That's joke by the way.) Love to you all - and keep typing!! Christinexx Hi Guys

So glad you enjoyed my MAGNATE'S INDECENT PROPSAL. Damien was very very hard to let go of. In fact I kept accidentally typing his name when writing the next book too ;). Dylan in GETTING RED-HOT WITH THE ROGUE had the same effect. I'm a sucker for a man in a suit who can sass a sasser. I'm certain that's not a word but you get what I mean! Ally Big waves to Rachael!!!

Now that's an ideal meet-cute. I love the whole "who is that shadowy, male form in the darkness" thing. I used that very idea in DATING THE REBEL TYCOON. Nothing like hearing a deep male voice, getting the scent of a delicious cologne, relying on the tingles scooting acorss the back of your neck to steer you right before you've even seen the guy! Only my hero and heroine weren't already in their pyjamas, so you were one step ahead ;). Ally Hi Doaa!

Wish I could write them... Oh, wait... maybe I did in the current WIP! Ally stepping up her game. Pfft. Nothing like selling to this line and realizing you gotta get your game on and quick in order to hang with this crowd. The talent pool is amazing! With meet-cutes! I love the meet-cute!

I have your Rogue on my TBR pile and it sounds like I'm in for another treat. I absolutely ADORE the cute meet. My fave books open with a cute-meet and most of my wips, start with one too. However, I'm curious as to what the editors think (any lurking?) about meet-cutes because I've been warned against them in one rejection and have heard of others who have as well! Thanks for a great post!! And with three boys under four (whoops five now) I KNOW about the need for planning!! Doesn't mean I always get it right unfortunately :) Rach! Hey Ally

I think I am a life-time meet-cute though as Kelly's mention of one, it never come up as a beginning of a love story; that's why I love all of ya writers out there who turn these everyday events into a whole new novel. My last real life meet-cute was at my cousin's house. She was getting married and we had to go and stay with her for the preparation of the party. At 3 a.m I got out for my late-night-chocolate and went to the kitchen in search for some. I was wearing my fav pink with cute hearts pj and punny slippers. I got the chocolate and went to sit on the big sofa at the livingroom, it was dark and i threw myself on the sofa to find out; too-late that it wasn't empty!! I just turned and i saw him. Well, a shadow of someone since it was dark so i just said sorry and went running to my room. He was my cousin older brother's friend.

Not sure if this counts as a meet cute or not, but... In the 80s, there was an English band called Splogdenessabounds who did a song called "Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Please". Given that I was a barmaid in the uni summer holidays, and I met my DH at work... it's a standing joke that these were his first words to me. He was also a bit shy, and my colleague noticed that I went a bit pink when he was around, so she and his best friend decided to send us on a blind date. I was meant to meet him outside the post office. Ha. As if I was going to stand there and get stood up very publicly. So instead I skulked next door outside the record shop, pretending to read the charts. I had no idea that he was going to turn up in a car (as a broke student, I walked or cycled everywhere), and he went round the one-way system in town three times before he spotted me. But it worked. Twenty-four years later, here we are - and when I came back from London yesterday (took our youngest to see "Grease" in the West End for her birthday), he met me from the train with flowers and the news that he'd cleaned the oven for me. (And he still has those gorgeous blue eyes that make me weak at the knees...) Great post, Ally!
