We first met each other at a friend's birthday party. (I was friends with the husband and she was friend's with the wife), never really talked to her at the party. We started hanging out as a group for over a year. Our friends kept pushing us to get together, but we would always brush it off. We were not attracted to each other at first, but as time went by, I found her innocent laugh was very unique, I found it very attractive. I started asking her to go out with me without the group, but always turn down. until 1 day I ask her to go to big bear to let Loki, my puppy, see snow for the very first time. And from there, we started going out together more and more. One day, I was driving her around when my car ran out of battery and needed a charge. We went to a charging station and she asked me out of the blue, "Why are you so willing to drive me around." Lost with words, I told her I liked her and would like her to be my girlfriend... but I was rejected then. Not giving up, I gave her flowers and a human size teddy bear for valentines asking her once more to be my girlfriend...rejected. Me being persistent, one fine day, I took her on a walk on the beach. I told her its cold I gave flowers and a pair of earrings, I asked her once again and FINALLY she said yes. Moral to this story is diamond will help you steal a woman's heart. good luck to all the single men!
