SquidQuest: Touched By Cupid

Love Stories for Valentine's Day on Squidoo

Everyone has a love story and we want to hear yours!

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." ~ Dr. Suess

Just in time for Valentine's Day, this SquidQuest is about that special kind of weirdness, about being touched by cupid's arrow, and about sharing our stories of love.

To complete this SquidQuest, tell us about your unique wedding proposal, or your first kiss. Share the story of how you met and fell in love with your better half, or about the first time you saw your grandchild. Maybe you have a story about love lost, or love never reciprocated. What about the love you feel for your children, or your best friend?

There are as many stories of love as there are people, and we're looking to gather the best of them right here on Squidoo.

If you're willing to share your personal love story on a lens, we'll send you 200 SquidPoints and post the best of them on a Best of Squidoo Monsterboard in time for everyone to read before Valentine's Day.

Read on to learn more about this fun SquidQuest.

“Love is the only kind of fire which is never covered by insurance.”

    Nice and simple lens. I liked it. I published this year my book, Love in the Internet Time at lulu. I may take the quest, if there's time to translate some of it.

    I'm trying to decide which marriage proposal was the most romantic...I had so many...KIDDING :)
  • BFuniv.com Jan 10, 2012 @ 5:09 pm | delete
    My computer must not want me to share this, it died as I put in the comment. Stupid male computers. This is a romance story a guy will understand (unless he's electro/mechanical).
  • Dkprincess6 Jan 9, 2012 @ 12:47 pm | delete
    This one will probably be fun. Must think about it for a while.
  • sherridan Jan 9, 2012 @ 8:57 am | delete
    My goodness, but the look of the enthusiasm below, you are going to have an aweful lot of lenses to sift through!
  • BusyQueen Jan 8, 2012 @ 9:06 pm | delete
    A great idea and I am sure many will do a love lens!
  • kathysart Jan 8, 2012 @ 12:19 pm | delete
    I found my HS sweetheart after almost 30 years.. so YES I would say I have a love story to share.

    This would have been the perfect opportunity for Debbie and I to air our love story via a lens that she created about how we met and fell in love (When Debbie Met Tony), but alas it's already been done and this quest requires a new lens. Oh well...
  • canoz Jan 7, 2012 @ 6:09 am | delete
    I hear you Tony! I already did Most of All You're My Best Friend AND Ode to Motherhood for my mum! I mean, how many people can I gush about??!! I wonder if the cat counts?? Funnily enough I don't think I want to do the kids because loving your kids goes without saying!!

    I was immediately attracted to this quest, and wrote Unconditional Love Story; my Valentine's Day tribute to my husband, Dave.
  • miaponzo Jan 7, 2012 @ 12:27 am | delete
    Hmmmm.. this is going to be difficult.. cuz my life is more full of Love gone bad love stories :) :)

    I've been in love so many times I don't know where I would start.
