Everyone loves a good love story. Girl meets boy, they fall in love, and they drive off into the horizon to start a family (or that's what heybaby.sg or the government wishes, lah).

But sometimes life gets in the way. Sometimes people tell you to stop at two. Sometimes people will tell you that your $5,000 Valentine's Day gift is 'derisory'. That you can't afford those roses. That you're not beautiful. That you don't stand a chance. Don't listen to them. Don't give up hope. Because as Rihanna tells us, love can be found in hopeless places.

Which brings us to this. The following are the very public stories shared on (said hopeless place's)   STOMP's very public page. It is not known if the couples wrote the headlines themselves, or whether the good folks at STOMP have edited them to make them more...controversial  attention grabbing.

(Images of the couples have been blurred to protect them from jealous haters. I've not provided any links to the original stories because couples need their privacy. I do not recommend going to search for these stories on STOMP. It's a slippery slope from there, before long you'll be taking pictures of poor National Servicemen on public transport.)

Enjoy.

Just reading the headline you'd think: This story is a shining example of how technology helps us expedite the lengthy process of finding a potential life partner.

Just reading the headline you'd think: This story shows that romantic love is greater than love among siblings. And awkward extended family gatherings. Like reunion dinners.

Just reading the headline you'd think: This story demonstrates how CNY is an auspicious time of the year to avoid the Friend Zone and confess your love to a friend. Take notes, guys.

Just reading the headline you'd think: This story demonstrates how important it is not to judge people by their appearances and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with how domestic workers look.

Just reading the headline you'd think: This story demonstrates how revenge can lead to a healthy, romantic relationship.

Just reading the headline you'd think: This story shows that you don't need spellcheck to find love. All you need is to possess a certain type of Kim Mor and love will find a way.

Just reading the headline you'd think: Love. Always. Prevails. Enough said. #imabeliever #omg #loyalty #love #respect
