I had never really dated much in high school, one guy for about 3 months. For most of my teenage years I had been head over heels for my best guy friend who lived on the other side of the block from me. After dropping hints, "walking my dog" over to his house very early in the morning and waking him up, nothing happened EVER!
So I started at my local community college after high school and wanted nothing to do with guys, never wanted to get married, never wanted to have kids nothing. I started hanging out with one of my high school friends and his friends around campus. There was one geeky guy who I thought was sweet and quiet, but every time I talked to him he looked at me like I was going to eat him. Well my friend from high school calls me one night and tells me that Steven (the geeky guy) had been asking about me. Wondering why I never hung out with them outside of school. A few days later, hanging out with everyone at school again I got up to get something to eat and everyone must have had to go to class while I was away from the table, because the next thing I know Steven is bring me my backpack. He too had to leave and didn't want to leave my backpack unattended (it was in eye shot from where I was).
I finally managed to hang out with them one night to watch a movie in one of the guys garage. I pulled in a folding chair from another room and set it near the door. Steven, who had his chair on the other side of the room promptly moved it next to mine. I moved my chair away a little and he moved his closer again.
He took me home that night and gave me a hug at my door. For the next couple of nights that week I would go over watch a movie and Steven would drive me home. One night he tried to give me a kiss, but not sure if what I was feeling was like or just happy someone was showing me attention I turned my head so he would only kiss me on the cheek. This must have thrown him off because he fell over into the bushes next to my front porch.
These little encounter soon turned into a relationship with out any official acknowledgment. Two weeks later his grandfather passed away, he was devastated but still took me on the Disneyland trip he has promised me for our real first date. I had more fun with him that day and felt closer to him than I ever had with any one else. He even took me to The Blue Bayou! No one had ever treated me so well.
We spent many an evening just sitting in his van talking and making out. One night while he was telling me about his trip to Kenya a little voice in my head said "this is the guy you will spend forever with". It shocked the hell out of me.
After only a month I decided that I would tell him I loved him, so I said "so I think I love you" his response was "I love you too!" No hesitation at all. Told me he had felt that way since our day at Disneyland, no one had ever put up with him for that long, laughed at all his joked and still wanted to be around him the next day.
We have been through a lot and we fight like cats and dogs but we make up like rabbits. I knew I loved him quick and I know I will always love him.
We will be getting married in the Spring of 2010. I <3 my geek!
