Once upon a time, well about 10 years ago to
be exact a lonely girl was searching for something or someone to connect to.
She didn't really know what she was looking for, however she came across an app
on Myspace. This was the very beginning of dating apps and she was not really
looking to be with someone but instead wanted someone to talk to. She came
across this guy who happened to live in a town which she thought was far away
so she clicked on his profile and began a conversation. She young and naive and
obviously directionally challenged thought nothing would come of it because he
lived 100's of miles away, however to her surprise he actually lived about 30
miles away. This changed a lot and although she wasn't looking for someone
thought it would be fun to get to know this boy a little bit more. They talked
for the whole summer, however it always seemed platonic and she was confused
about his feelings. She constantly asked herself the question, "Does he
like me, or is he just being nice?". When they met up for the first time,
he drove all the way to her neck of the woods and had a quick lunch, however
she had to work so she invited him to visit her at work, however he never came.
After this so called date, if he liked her he surely would have come to visit
her at work so she thought that he liked someone else so she thought she had to
move on and dated someone else for awhile however always wondered about the guy
she met online. Fast forward to about a year later and she was no longer with
the guy she previously dated and she began to talk to the boy she once liked
and met online and wondered about. One night despite all of her fears while
talking to him she asked him if he liked her because she liked him and he
didn't really say anything for awhile. Feeling humiliated she thought she
ruined their friendship however after what felt like an eternity she saw the
typing bubble and he say he liked her as well. After this time, they decided to
see each other once again and after a couple of dates wanted to make it
officially that they were exclusive with one another.
The two seemed perfect for one another and
within three months fell in love with one another, this love continued though a
variety of ups and downs that life threw at them and continued for 4.5 years. However,
at the time life situations seemed to constantly get in the way and they were
not the people they once were and were not the people they thought they were
supposed to be so they parted ways. While this was hard for both of them and
hurt tremendously they had to move on. He went on to date other women and she
went on to date other men. Throughout this time, it seemed as if they were
picking individuals who were not right for them and after many episodes of
betrayal and heartbreak from their respective partners they were constantly
there for each other. They always talked every now and then about how
they deserved so much more than the way others treated them. He constantly told
her that she was perfect and deserved someone who would also see that and not
try to make the relationship all about his needs and instead about the couple
as a whole. She would constantly tell him to not settle for less than he really
wanted and to shoot for the stars because he was going to go far in life.
Occasionally they would meet up at one of their favorite lunch spots after she
was coming home from a weekend she had to spend at school. They were great
friends and were always a constant in each others lives.
After many bad relationships she called him and
confided in him about all of her dreams, fears and aspirations and he did the
same. They were not strangers in regards to hanging out so one summer night in
August he came to her place after a guy’s night. It was late so she was tired
and rested her head on his shoulder after eating a late dinner. He was
surprised by this and moved in closer. He placed his hand on hers and their
fingers interlocked. He looked at her and with deep yearning in his eyes looked
like he wanted to kiss her. She asked him "What are you thinking?" he
said "I want to do something but I'm scared." She said it was fine
whatever he was thinking and he leaned in to kiss her she reciprocated and in
that moment for both of them it felt like the whole world had melted away. The
kiss was magical and brought back a variety of memories from their previous
time together. It had been three years since they first parted ways and decided
to give their relationship another chance. Due to knowing and caring for on another
for about 10 years fell back in love very quickly and since that time have been
extremely happy. They are everything to one another and cannot wait to see that
the future will hold.
As you can see by this love story, things do not always work
out according to your plan however if they are meant to happen will happen in
their own time. Never give up and always have faith that when you are meant to
get something good it will come to you. Believe in infinite possibilities
because anything in this life is possible. I am deeply in love with a man who
would go to the ends of the earth and do anything to make me happy so don't
settle for less than you deserve and remember while nothing can be perfect you
can have a perfect situation in your own eyes.
