Call for sources: Has email played a role in your love story?
Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and I’m looking for people with love stories where email was or is a key part of the relationship.
Maybe you:
- met your partner through email
- spent months (or years) falling in love through long email exchanges
- still send each other thoughtful love notes via email
- reconnected with someone thanks to an old inbox
- or have any other story where email played an unexpected role in your romantic life
If email was part of how your relationship started, grew, or survived distance or time, I’d love to hear your story.
I’m working on a Valentine’s Day feature about the emotional side of email — how something we see as “work-related” can carry intimacy and connection.
What I’m looking for:
- First-person stories
- Any age, any background
- Happy endings or complicated ones, both are welcome
How it will be used:
Selected stories may be featured in a Valentine’s Day piece. You’ll be credited, and I’ll confirm details with you before anything is published.
If this sounds like you, reply with:
- A short summary of your story
- Your name and location
- A way to contact you
Feel free to keep it informal - just tell it like you’d tell a friend.
Thanks!
