I remember seeing this hottie in one of my classes in college and thinking that I had to find some way to get to know her. I didn't know how to approach her and felt like a complete fool when attempting any conversation with her. I found out she was engaged and my hopes were dashed. She began confiding in me about her issues and I listened and did everything I could to be around her, even if it meant spending 3 hours in a science lab studying rocks between classes.
Then, about 2 years later, she invited me to her birthday celebration. I almost didn't go because I was sulking over the prospect of her marrying someone else. She called me on the phone and told me to get my ass in a cab and get to her party. I did. She drank a lot and started telling her friends that she loved me. I soared. The next day we met for coffee to discuss what we were going to do about it because it didn't feel right that she was engaged.
She broke off her engagement and we started dating. 2 years later we were married. That was 4 years ago. It seems like 4 months.
