It all started with gym class. He was a sophomore and I was a freshman. Both of us had a crush on the other but neither of us spoke up! Fast forward 6 years, and we became best friends through mutual friends. We both recently got out of long relationships and weren't looking for anything but friendship. Well one night when we were out to Newark with our friends for the annual 90's bar crawl, Mike confided in me that he had a crush on this girl who was out with us that night. I tried all night talking him up to the girl, explaining how incredible he was and that he was my best friend and I even scored her number for him! It turns out though that she just wasn't into it. (Her loss!!). We ended our night with Mike crying on my lap in a bus stop (LOL). I think this is where I started to understand that I just might have stronger feelings for him than just friendship. We began talking on the phone everyday, staying up all night and going to work tired the next day because we didn't want to stop talking to each other, and never wanted to not be with the other. Mike got up the courage to ask me on our first official date to the Chesapeake Inn, and now the rest is history! Our love story isn't the typical love story you would hear, but it describes our outlook on life and our relationship so well. Everything happens for a reason, and we wouldn't want it any other way!
