Search for True Love? Tell Us Your Story on Bing

There are 364 other days in a year, but we seem to assign a single lonely date, Feb. 14, to an infinitely complex emotion. We even try to squash that emotion down into one simple word: love. Stories about love say so much more. In honor of Valentine’s Day, The Columbian’s “Everybody Has a Story” feature will seize the Sunday Life page and print as many true tales by readers about love, in all its permutations, as space will allow. The main “Everybody Has a Story” rule still applies: Your story must be true and first-person — that is, it happened to you.
