  1. Well, I don't know where to start really. We first met in high school in Gr. 11. I had just transferred schools and lived a town over. Steve was one of the first people who came up and talked to me. I suppose I was a little shy at the time and spent my first 2 months at the new school being invisible. I was the girl who stood alone outside and was found every lunch period in a corner reading. In hind sight, this is why I didn't meet anyone for the first two months. But I managed to intrigue at least one person and years later, it would appear, it was the one person that mattered. I would love to say that it was love at first sight and I always knew, but I didn't. We were in high school. We became friends but ran in different circles. He was very popular and sociable and I was... well, a little nerdy frankly. But classes forced us together and somehow we never completely lost touch. By the end of Gr. 12, I had a completely different group of friends and so, at the end of the year when prom came around, I took my new boyfriend at the time. Let's just say that was a mistake and my "boyfriend at the time" was a bit of a jerk. He quickly became "my ex" during our prom dinner. A bit of a night-ruiner. I was now stuck involuntarily going stag and my new "ex" took no time to rekindle his romance with HIS ex on the dance floor. It made sense to find a new dance partner for the night. And then there he was. My old friend, Steve, dressed to the nines and looking fabulous. It was easy breaking the ice after so much time, especially since we managed to somehow show up in matching outfits. We danced and spent the evening catching up on old times. I found out he had moved to my town shortly before prom and was living down the street from me now, so we made arrangements to hang out after the long weekend. And we did. It was not long before we became best friends. Because he was in walking distance, he quickly became my go-to person. It was crazy how well we got along even after losing touch for awhile. The days became weeks and the weeks became months, and by the time the summer was over, I knew I had a very large crush on my new best friend. So, after months of agonizing crushing and over-thinking, I finally got the courage to ask him out. I had spent way too many lunch periods stealing glances at him and secretly writing I <3 Steve doodles all over my binders. I told him I realized it may ruin our relationship but I couldn't stand to be his BEST FRIEND anymore. No one wants to be ONE OF THE GUYS (Well, unless you're the girlfriend already). And wouldn't you know it -- He said no. Turned me down. I was devastated. So I decided I would show him I didn't need him and move on. I had a guy I worked with who seemed to like me just fine so I started to date him. It was not very long before Steve must have realized what he was missing out on and one night, while watching "Doing that Thing You Do", told me that he couldn't take it any longer. He didn't want to be my friend anymore. He had been stupid when he turned me down (No really?) He had thought he didn't want a girlfriend, but didn't realize that I wasn't any regular girl, I was going to be THE girl. After his profession that night, I broke up with Jay and started dating Steve. Though I felt awful at the time for doing it, it's now been 7 years and I have never been more glad that he came to his senses when he did. Usually we are both stubborn as mules, but at the right moment when it mattered, he didn't act too proud to tell me he was an idiot and I was not too proud to admit that all I had wanted all along was my best friend. We now both have our best friend as our soul mate and are excited to experience this crazy ride we call life together.
