i can’t believe joe and i have already been dating for six months. it really doesn’t seem like that long. and, although this may seem odd, this is the longest relationship i’ve been in. that could be sad or good, depending on how you look at it. i see it as a good thing. i’m glad i figured out early that my past boyfriends just weren’t right for me.
i never thought joe and i would go out. we’ve been friends for more than two years and just from hearing things that he did for his ex-girlfriends i started becoming attracted to him. but i never thought we’d meet since he lived in georgia and i in tennessee, let alone date. the last time we both broke up with someone happened around the same time. we started talking more and more on the phone after work. it was nice to have some to vent to and just be there. then he asked if i wanted to do something one weekend. sure, i said, before mentioning that stacey, one of our mutual friends and her boyfriend could come along. always a good idea in case a date goes bad. this one, however, didn’t.
i was more nervous than i’d ever been. i thought he was cute, but i was sure he didn’t think the same about me. we saw bridget jones II and then went to chilis for dinner. it was a lot of fun. and then, when we got back to my house, he kissed me. we had a great first date that i’ll always remember.
we’ve had our ups and downs, our disagreements and arguments, but we always work through them and make sure to say, “i love you.” and joe is the most romantic guy i’ve ever dated, from surprising me with roses to buying me bridget jones II because it was what we saw on our first date to calling me this morning and saying, “happy six month anniversary. i love you.”
joe and i just fit together perfectly. i’ve never felt more comfortable with someone. and i know we’ll have many many more anniversaries.
