Love on the streets of NYC
Josh, 29, marketing producer; Bari, 28, marketing account supervisor
Years together: 1
Bari: We worked together, and then he moved to L.A.
Josh: We were always dating other people. But when I left...
Bari: ...I realized I'd fallen in love with him.
Josh: It was a "you don't know what you've got until it's gone" kind of thing.
Hai, 33, director and photographer; Eve, 24, photographer and model
Years together: 4
Eve: We met when I posted in a New York City alumni group and Hai responded. We started talking from there.
Hai: I had a job that brought me to Japan and China while she was studying abroad in Hong Kong.
Eve: He was going to invite me to hang out...but I jumped the gun and invited myself. I skipped two weeks of school to travel with him. I had only known him for a few months.
Hai: She still passed her classes!
Brandon, 36, Collin, 39, vintage clothing store owners
Years together: 13
Brandon: We met in a hot tub. I was naked.
Collin: I was not. We had broken into a condo.
