They met in high school. Even though they went to different schools, they met through a mutual friend. She was a mere freshmen and he was a senior. There's no way she had a chance, especially since he was a total stud and went to over 20 high school dances. Little did she know, he was actually super shy and never pursued anyone. Then more than a decade of zero contact went by... He added her on Facebook one day and they exchanged a few messages back and forth. The first time they tried to meet up, they were unsuccessful. They stayed in touch and finally met up a couple weeks later. A friendship quickly formed and feelings were happening. They went snowboarding together and that's when sparks started to fly. He was becoming attracted to everything about her, and she knew he was either going to be her best friend or soul mate. They ended up becoming both! One of their first real dates was dinner and movie and then a pit stop at Trader Joe's. It was nothing fancy, but everything felt easy and natural - there was no pressure since they were already becoming good friends. And the rest is history. After 9 wonderful years, they still enjoy the simple things. Their relationship is special because they love spending time together. Whether it be dance classes, traveling, or binging TV shows, they are inseparable. And with every new experience, they know more and more they are meant to be!
