The Perfect Fit #Dating
I sent a message to James on October 2, 2012. He FINALLY messaged me back on Oct 22. (I still tease him about this)I had started talking to someone else, but he stuck around and we texted consistently for two months as friends. He texted me get well texts and asked how I was doing when I was very sick in the hospital. Then, when we both were free from ties to other people, on Nov 3 (my birthday), I sent him a text message from my hospital bed saying I was interested in talking on the phone and meeting. That started a month of 4-6 hour phone calls several nights a week. I knew it was something special even then. He says he fell in love with me over the phone.
Because of our lack of money, we couldn't meet right away, but finally on Dec 15, 2012, when I had scrounged up some extra money for gas, I drove an hour to go see him.
I arrived at his house with a case of beer and an anxious heart. I saw him outside of his house and when I called his name and he turned around, I got this wonderful feeling! We hugged and went inside.
We sat and watched cartoons (our favorite pass time) and talked for a couple hours. We sat a few foot apart, sitting on our hands and blushing like middle school crushes.
Finally, after a couple bottles of Budweiser, I took advantage of my dutch courage and leaned onto his shoulder. We shared our first kiss right after that.
After a painfully long week apart, on December 22, he drove to my house for Christmas weekend. The next night, he took my face in his hands and told me he loved me. He loved me before we met, and he knew he'd love me forever. He went home Christmas night to spend a few days with his family for the holiday, but he was back in 3 days to spend New Years weekend with me. He decided to stay.
Since then we've had our very own fairy tale. We fell in love with each others families, and even more with each other.
My past marriage, and his past hurts have really made us into who we are today and because of those, we fit perfectly together. We've been able to sit and let go of some hurt we'd never been able to before and we bring out the best in eachother!
On top of that, we simply have so much fun together. I feel like we've been best friends for years! Everyday is full of laughter.
Our future looks bright. He, a disabled veteran, has one more year left to finish in his CAD Tech program in college. He is unable to work most jobs, so money is tight, but we're making it.
We're waiting on wedding bells and babies until he gets his damaged hips repaired and we're financially stable. But we're dreaming of our future, and hope to open a business together someday.
We often say, "I'm so glad I got herpes!" with a chuckle.
We wouldn't have found each other without HV1, OR Positive Singles.
Thank you PS for taking something we'd considered a "curse" and helped us realize it's a BLESSING!!
