I loved your story. It is well written, well edited and had a great ending. Not sure it really meets the criteria of the contest, though. If you were flirting till you plucked up courage to ask her out, technically you weren't strangers when you kissed.

If I had a six to give, you would get it for this wonderful story. This is one of the best entries I have read for this contest including mine. I only hope I come in second.

Aww! That was so lovely, so romantic and obviously, so true! I love that it is, it makes it so much more romantic. That was so well written, you told your whole romantic story in just one hundred words. I wish you tons more years more together, and lots of good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xxx

Well 100 words and the complete picture of a long lasting romance. I have such respect for writers that are so succinct I can't tell a story in under 2500 words well done and good luck.

Clearly told and not vague. You certainly managed to tell a complete story in 100 words. I like how you told the reader without telling the reader about certain parts of the story: she agreed to go out, you kissed, you got married. I especially like how the last line rounds out the story while also giving a happy ending.
Hope you do well in the competition!

This was freaking great.
The only issue i noticed was in this sentence

"We'd just sat down in the barbecue place she asked me"

I think perhaps theres should be an and?
Also I notice a few problems with punctuation.... before you mention im terrible with punctuation!

Other than that this was a really, really enjoyable read!

A romantic story and one with a happy ending! Just a couple of minor suggestions:
Your first sentence would be stronger if you placed 'while working in the tutoring center' after 'in college'.
'In the barbecue place (when) she asked me'

A very well-written hundred word flash fiction. When two people are meant to be together for life there will be nothing that can stop it from happening no matter how hard others try.

    You're absolutelyright Sandra. I know soulmate is an overused expression, but that is what this was. I appreciate the 5 star review.
