Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I met the most amazing boy in a cancer therapy group. His name is Augustus, Gus for short. Wow! I've never known anyone who could fill The Fault in Our Stars like he did. He has been my bright and shining star ever since we met. Gus is kind, gentle, SO funny, and he's really the love of my life. But I need to let him go for reasons I can't divulge here, but anyone who knows my story will understand why I am letting him go now. I still love him, but I need to FREE him so he can enjoy life even more. God only knows he deserves the BEST in life!

I met Adam while competing against him in a 'Battle of the Bands'. His band ended up winning, but I was the real winner that night as he drove me home and gave me a kiss goodnight. We had such a great relationship for awhile, he was my first love. But I guess he didn't exactly feel the same way, considering he cheated on me with some Mia girl. He apologized right when I found out and tried to win me back, but I knew that If I Stay (ed), I'd just be depriving myself of the opportunity to find a man who would never do that to me.

I was sitting in English class one day when I looked up and saw him. I couldn't read him at all like I could with others. I tried to stay away from him as long as I could. I finally gave in and met the love of my life Damen. As we became closer, he began distancing himself and I said goodbye. Now I am looking for a guy that I can be with forEvermore.

My dearest, sweet, one and only love of my life, Daemon,
I don't know how to tell you what I am about to say, but please read my letter and ponder my words with an open heart.

You have been my Obsidian, my protector since the day we met, even before I realized you were doing what you did to protect me. I've watched you glow like the sunshine and fight like there's no tomorrow, and I've loved you more than I ever thought possible. But...and I say this with heavy tears, I know you would give your very own LIFE for me and I just cannot allow that to happen. I have to let you go because I love you! I couldn't bear to live without you and that's my biggest fear. I must let you go before I might have to watch you die. Please understand the depth of my love for you and understand that to see you so close to death showed me I could never handle watching you die or knowing I have to be without you being somewhere on the face of this earth. It is with a shattered heart that I let you go my love...my Daemon. xoxoxo

I fell in love with a boy named Miles our Junior year of High School. He, unfortunately, was in love with another girl. He went Looking for Alaska and I lost him. I knew it just wasn't meant to be between us, and now I'm trying to find someone that I am meant to be with.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments How does this actually work? Is it like a challenge? Do you get given a genre/specific type of book to read?

Hi Maddison! The information specifically about the challenge is located in this Informational Thread , but basically you will get six challenges throughout the course of the game. Most of them require finding a book with something specific on the cover. Your choices throughout the 6 rounds determine who your winning bachelor is after you've completed the last round. You can click on any of the Room Threads to see an example of how the game works! Anybody with a number at the beginning of their name has already completed at least one game, so you'll be able to see what all the challenges are for each round. You can also see all of our wonderful, eligible bachelors in the Bachelor Thread.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Once I met a very special guy. His name was Augustus and he was perfect. He was funny, hilarious, smart & caring. And we definitely would have our "happily ever after", if he hadn't had cancer. So, several exciting months later he died and left me heartbroken. I know that The Fault in Our Stars, but I'm begging you, find me a decent bachelor before I end my days in a house surrounded by forty cats .

I met him at my new school. From the moment I saw him I was Spell Bound by him. Only Archer never noticed me, because he was spellbound by another girl. So now after graduation, I want to find a guy who will notice.

Patch, I didn't know if I could ever love again, but you changed that for me. The minute I saw you, though many others hated you, I had an instant attraction. Though you were mysterious and what I guess I'd call a "bad boy" I truly fell in love with you. However, having to keep our relationship Hush, Hush has just been too much on me. I've had to lie to my loved ones and I just can't do it anymore. I'll always love you, but I have to move on and let you go...for now.

I met Dimitri while I was at the Vampire Academy. We loved each other, but we could not be together for many reasons, including our age difference. Now I am just trying to find someone who I can be with.

Once upon a a time, there was a fallen angle who fell in love with a human girl. He protected and loved her with all of his heart, but one day she got turned into his enemy. That girl is me and I am on an under cover mission that I have to keep Hush, Hush. Even though I can no longer be with my Patch, I am hoping to find someone just a bad (or sweet) as me.

There was a prince named Dorian and I thought it would be a true love. However our love was like a Throne of Glass. I am the jealous type after all and I could not stand watching all these women throw themselves at him. It was all just too much to bare.

While I was at Vampire Academy, I met a boy name Adrian. He was different then most of the boys I have met in the past. He was dangerous and mysterious at the same time. I fell for him hard. Now, he is with someone else and I am heartbroken.

As a Volcanologist I was in West Virginia studying a non active volcano that seemed to be hidden up in the mountains. While there I met a man by the name of Daemon. We got along quite well and began to spend much of our free time together. One day I chose to take him with me up the mountain. At the top of the volcano I noticed something sparkling. Daemon reached for it first and handed it to me telling me that this piece of Obsidian was gorgeous and that he planned to take it to a jeweler and have them make it into a necklace for me. That day never arrived because Daemon went to step back and fell over the edge and straight into the volcano. Although I miss him, I am now ready to move on with my life and meet another.

I met Morpheus through a friend. At first we hit it off and in those first days everything seemed magical. However once the initial reaction wore off it seemed a bit too magical. Morpheus seemed to believe he could talk to bugs and flowers, and when he talked about his home it seemed a bit strange. We started to argue, me thinking that something was wrong and him not believing why i found it strange. Reality started Splintering, and i felt Unhinged. Starting to think reality was not necessarily as it seemed. We decided it was better for both of us to stop things there. I believe i have a better grip on reality now than i ever did before.

Once in the hospital I met the a guy named Augustus, and we instantly connected. We constantly talked, even about The Fault in Our Stars. Then one day he met another girl at a cancer support group, and I knew that I had no chance with him. We talked as friends until the day he died, and now I am ready to find another connection worthy of my love.

I met Warner on a dating website. Everything was almost magical at first. He was sweet and caring. He took me out on dates and we were in love. Then suddenly he got possessive and controlling. Sometimes, I feel like he uses me for my abilities. All he wants is power. He likes to Shatter Me. He shatters my ideas of love. He shatters my happy memories. And worst of all, he shatters my heart.

I ran into Nathan on a street corner. He wasn't Half Bad but there was something missing from our relationship. We split on good terms and though he found his soulmate I still haven't found mine.

Uhhhh Alaska :p

When I received a letter just like the one I am about to write here, I was both shocked and incredibly excited. I was going to meet Prince Maxon, and hope that he liked me enough to keep me around. I truly fell for him, but clearly I wasn't enough to be part of The Selection of his favourites. So I left the palace, broken-hearted, and now here I am, hoping to try again. I have to believe that someone out there can love me and that I won't be forever-alone.

I was perusing through an online dating service and came across a profile for someone named The Lightning Thief. He sounded like everything I have ever wanted in a man. We set the date up to meet at a local coffee shop in NY on a Friday morning. When he said he couldn't make it until the afternoon I should have known why. It seems "the man of my supposed dreams" was nothing more than a mere boy. He was cute, but way to young for me. I wished him the best and went on my way just a little sad that he couldn't have been older.

It all happened quite fast. It happened one Summer when Sawyer left with his family. Sawyer and Beau , The Vincent Boys, Sawyer the good student, and Beau the bad boy, but both on the football team. Whenever I heard the name Beau, I always smiled, and then I got to know him, and Bam! But as I continued on with my life, and kept in touch with Beau, he seemed different, he was falling in love with someone else. When he went to college, I was watching him play football when the game ended and he pulled out a ring. Not for me. I am trying to move on, and find someone else.
