I was reading these the other day and thinking to myself, wow it is really too bad that I have never met an "Edward". But then this morning I realized that I had, and to top it off his name is Edward.

We were on the swim team together in high school. We all called him Eddie. He was tall, some where around 6'1 or so. Had the perfect swimmers body, just the right amount of muscle and not bulky!! His hair was a bronzy color. He had a beautiful face with a straight nose. Of course he was tan do to swimming. He was always so nice and sweet. He turned heads when he would walk into a room and there wasn't a girl who wouldn't stop and stare. One of my best friends went to our senior prom with him, and I can only tell you that the sight of him in a black tuxe beyond belief. Oh and he had a smile that would dazzle anyone!

I haven't met an Edward, thank goodness for my husband, but hubby is a total Jacob, but MY Edward. lol Does that make sense? The love I feel for him is about as intense as Bella's love, but he acts exactly like Jacob. He's immature, sarcastic, hilarious, tall, dark, and handsome and, get this...before I'd even heard of Twilight, I called him my space heater lol I love him

I haven't met a real life Edward .... But, I met and married a real life Gilbert Blythe. Right down to a letter he wrote me... it almost exactly mimics the speech in Anne of Avonlea without the same words. I melted just reading it.
I would love to be friends with a real life Edward.... my husband is a total sweetie... but, he tires after a long day and doesn't want to talk about literature and period piece movies, history and 40's era music. All things that move me. I think Edward would be a great friend to have conversations with... and a history lesson... after all, he lived it! ha
My husband is one who would welcome me having an Edward for a friend...... he isn't threatened by anyone... he knows how solid our relationship is.

Have Mercy! I think i see an Edward about once a week. If they are extremely attractive with a great jawline... i say "he could be an edward" (Now that my main original edward had to be... put on the back burner lol) My main original Edward was one of the kickboxing instructors... tall.. lean.. muscular... perfect jaw... perfect face... perfect... OME!! BUT BUT BUT BUT I found out within this last week that he had JUST turned 18 ***GASP*** you CANT be serious!!! that is NOT ok! lol

When I started reading Twilight I kept thinking how much my husband was like Edward. (Even though he actually looks like Jacob). I honestly didn't think anyone else had these qualities that I was just lucky to find him. My husband can get really upset and I think it's about me, and when I tell him that he looks at me like how could I ever thought that. He is usually mad at himself, and takes blame for everything. He is in a permanent state of guilt, he treats me like I'm made of glass, and that I'm the most beautiful woman that ever lived. Which is incredible, right now I don't even feel like a girl. I feel like an it. I just finished (well I hope so) with cancer and it left me with a shell of who I used to be. My husband also appears to be the most confident person and is beyond polite. When we dated, he would not sit in the front seat with me and my mom, he would only sit in the back out of respect. Everything he does, he does for me. He told me once after reading the series that he has always tried to be like Jacob, he wanted to make himself the perfect man for me. He has been protecting me since he was 15 years old, when his family was supposed to move, he refused only after knowing me for a few weeks. He told his dad he couldn't move, he was going to marry me. His dad shipped out and the rest of the family stayed. I don't deserve him, he is very much like Edward.

Wow! Well, first off, Congratulations on being a survivor!! It sounds like you have an amazing husband at the very least and if you can't see the beauty in yourself, borrow your husband's vision for a while. He obviously adores you and you are so lucky!!

As I was reading the books I tried to think of an Eward I knew and then it finally hit me...A guy that I go to college with is my Eward. He is very smart, comes from a well-to-do family, and most importantly he has that effect that Edward has on Bella, his presence makes my legs shake and I can't figure out why. Which of course I'm married but this is the man i thought of as Edward throughout reading, his name is Matt.

I thought I knew an Edward once. He was my first real love. He was sweet, mysterious, dark hair, gorgeous. He was so sweet to me sometimes. Too bad, after like 3 or 4 yrs he eneded up being a real jerk. He seemed to be an edward for that first year, then I dont know what happened. He left me over christmas, so ya...what a jerk he really was! It's good though, I didnt deserve to be treated so badly. Would have been nice if he stayed like an edward.

Now though, I've been married to my husband for a year tomorrow. It all works out for the best somehow. Though lately, I've been feeling real distant from my husband. It's aggravating, I guess I'm comparing him to edward too much. Its just, my hubby used to be so sweet and romantic...now...just after one year...its like he's almost just a friend I'm used to having around. Has anyone felt like this before? Is it normal to get into feeling like this sometimes?

I must be honest and say that I've never met a "total" Edward. I've seen guys who have the looks of EC but I didn't get to know them well enough to find out if there was more. My husband looks more like Jacob-dark skin and hair -very muscular but shares some of the same character traits as EC. He loves me flaws and all, he is protective, very sexy and a great father. He likes fast vehicles-owns a motorcycle and takes jujitsu karate.

I get you and I'm the same! I married my "Jacob"!

Thankfully, I have never met an "Edward." It would've been too much for me to handle, I suspect!

I had my Edward once. A long time ago. I had started a new job and when I met him, it was love at first site or maybe lust. But I was married at the time and he was engaged. My marriage wasn't a happy one just to let you know. Anyway we flirted alot and when he got married, it was almost the death of me! after a few years she divorced him and I was getting a divorce at the same time. I still remember at the Christmas party at work, we were alone and he ask me for a kiss. Oh my gosh! When he kissed me, I felt the earth move! I'm not kidding and I forgot to breathe! We had to see each other in secret because we worked together. But when we were together, it was heaven. But alas, we were really from two different worlds. I couldn't fit in his world and he couldn't fit into mine. We had to quit seeing each other. since I couldn't stand to be around him at work and not want him, I had to quit my job. No, his name wasn't Edward, but he was my Edward. I still think about him after all these years.......

Oh my goodness. I went to High school with them! You're right! He could work as an Edward. Wow. That's crazy. For the rest of you TM's out here, he was a great guy. I didn't know him extremely well, but he was very sweet and respectful. He definitely had his Edward qualities.

Although i dated and moved in with an Edward when i was 18, he was NOTHING like Edward. It was such a horrible relationship that I considered not even reading Twilight because I didn't think I could "connect with a character with the same name."
Thank GOD I sucked it up and read them. I'm so happy now lol.

My fiance is a bit like Edward. Not completely of course, because no one is that perfect. But he's "my" edward. And "my" Jacob is retardedly like Jacob as well.
I'm a lucky woman to have them both in my life


My Edward:




My Jacob:

Our christmas party (with me as a blond)


Out the other night with our two friends

If these dont work... I'm really sorry. I'm new to this message board thing lol

Never

I honestly don't believe that it is even possible for a human being to be that selfless and perfect...
I guess that's why I love the fantasy of Edward so much.
