We met our freshman year of high school through our friends, and all of us sat together at lunch. That same year he would always flirt and message me over the summer, but I never really caught on. Then when football season started that sophomore year, we ran into each other at a game. He insisted on buying me skittles and we walked to the concession stand together. After that, I always looked forward to making the football games just to see if he would be there. Then on October 12th of 2019 he asked me out! I had never felt this way about anyone else, so I said yes! Our first date was with his friend and his friend's girlfriend at the time. We all went to the Humane Society and walked dogs. Seeing how far we've come, and how much we've grown together is just crazy. He's seen me at my worst, and I've seen him at his worst but we both figure everything out together. I'm so grateful to have met such a kind, funny, gentle human being to spend the rest of my life with!
