The first time we saw each other we knew there was an instantaneous connection. They say the best relationships come from those who start off as friends. From a little get together little did we know our lives would change forever. We joked about booking flights to go away, to being a hostess and asking if everyone was ok with their drinks. This started our friendship where he would make fun of me, and I would laugh ever so slightly to have him think I am not interested. They always say "You have to play hard to get to have him be interested." Sadly, the joke was on me!!! Dude was the first challenge I had, and he played his cards right. Acting as if he was interested and so began the cat and mouse chase. As a result, I played along and someone, not say names (Dude) thought I was out of the picture for good. He finally asked me out on our first date, because you never let a good thing pass you by. And so this began our start to forever.
