We knew each other about 16 years before we had sex, but not as "significant others" -- just as peripheral members of the others' social circle.
Fast forward sixteen years, and we had sex before becoming a couple. We both viewed it as a "summer fling, no-strings-attached" type of relationship... then the summer was over and we were still hanging out, and came to realize how awesome we were together. That was two years ago
