I was working at a shoe store when I met my now husband. One day he came in and I noticed him right away; in fact for some reason I was drawn to him. Which seemed odd to me because I had just about sworn off of men thinking there was no good ones out there. Anyway, I began flirting with him and giving him way too much “customer service” He didn’t really respond which just made me want him more! He left that day without buying anything and without my number, I don’t think I even knew his name then, but I couldn’t stop thinking about him! He came back in a couple of weeks later and I was working at the check out that day, so he decided to buy some shoe strings and we talked a bit and we were formally introduced. But he still didn’t ask for my number … he kept coming back though! One day “just looking”, one day he’d buy socks or whatever and we would talk a bit each time he’d come in but still no numbers were exchanged!
Some of the people I worked with started calling him “my stalker” but I didn’t feel threatened by him at all. In fact, I felt a certain comfort in him that I had never felt before and I liked it. Anyway, the next time he came in I asked him out myself. He agreed and we went out to the bar across the street from where I worked and we talked and had a few drinks, well I had a few, he didn’t drink since he was driving. One of the many things I liked about him.
After the bar closed, we ended up in his car and continued talking for hours! He called me the next day and we went out again and we talked more, it was so great ... we saw each other almost every day for a week then he asked me if I would be his “girlfriend” and I asked him if he was sure that was what he wanted and he said “absolutely” so my ego was soaring! I said yes and then he wanted to make sure I understood what being his girlfriend meant to him … he said that we would be exclusive and we would be starting a committed relationship where neither of us would see other people. It had been just barely a year since my divorce and I should have been scared of another commitment but for some reason, I wasn’t scared at all!
It has been over 6 years since the first day I met "my angel" and we are still together! We are married now (since April 2005) but I honestly don't remember how he asked, I think we just had been talking about it off and on for years and when the time was right we finally did it. Some people ask if it feels different since we lived together for so long before we got married ... I think it is different in that I can now officially call him my husband :wink:
I am so happy to have him in my life! I love him today more than I ever thought possible! We don’t fight, we don’t argue, (we do disagree at times) our relationship is so amazing … he is everything I could have ever hoped for and more.
Ok, I will stop now :wink:
