I never would have thought that I'd be looking to an internet dating site for my future. But, I went for it.
Guy after guy, picture after picture, message after message. It wasn't working out. I had started to give up, knowing I only had a month left on my subscription. There was no way a WEBSITE was going to find me a boyfriend in a mere three months when I had been trying for YEARS. As a last resort, I sent my questions and information out to every single one of my matches. One fish took the bait.
After looking over his profile- I wasn't too impressed. Wasn't a reader, not too athletic, liked video games. Boom. Not interested. Video games was a huge negative. I was ready to write him off and move on to the next one or even just give up period and live my life alone in the same pessimistic outlook I had so fondly become friends with. Well, my mom convinced me to give him a shot. So, I did. The more we exchanged information, answered questions, and emailed, the more I realized how special of a person he is. With one last month to spare... we exchanged email addresses and facebook pages and phone numbers. That's when we started texting :) We emailed and texted for about a month until he asked me for a phone date :) Now, eharmony gives guidelines on how the first phone call, first date, all that should go. Phone calls shouldn't be very long- ten minutes tops, first dates should only be something casual in the daytime, in public. And only last 15 minutes. I guess, to take it slow. Well, we had our first phone call on June 9th. It lasted 3 hours. We never ran out of stuff to talk about. It just kept coming out. Which, is amazing because both of us hate talking on the phone. But it was completely different. I feel like I got to know him so well in those 3 short hours. At the end, he did the cutest thing ever and asked me out on a date for sunday. THAT sunday :) At 5:00 :) We were going to go to dinner and a movie. Much longer than 15 minutes :)
He brought me flowers, met my parents, opened all my doors. It was the greatest night of my life. I couldn't stop smiling. Especially when he asked to hold my hand :) AH! I remember feeling like such a little kid! After only a few weeks of talking, he asked me to my boyfriend. Such a great guy. How could I pass that up? July 17th. :)
Sometime in august, after meeting his family, that's when we said we loved each other. It sounds soon, but it didn't feel soon. We had BOTH felt like we've known each other for YEARS, not just 2 months. That's when the wedding planning started. All the way back in August :) And that's when it'll end.
I wouldn't have chosen a different way to meet the man of my dreams. It was perfect. Stressful at times. But still perfect. I love him so much :)
*HE* is why I'm doing this to myself, getting so stressed out over wedding plans. To make OUR day, our wedding, and our future as perfect as we can.
Until next time...
