I was a dumb idiot in college and I started talking to this girl over Facebook, we fell in love immediately but she lived 5 states away at the time and I was super hesitant to do long distance. 3 weeks into meeting each other, she kept begging me to be her boyfriend, and after about another week I caved.
After a month or so, she moved to my state, completely overhauled her life, started at the same college as me...
Now we've been together for 13 years and I can't imagine my life without her. We're excited to get old together.
It happens fellas, just don't be an idiot like me.
Being an idiot seemed to have worked in your favor. This is reassuring.
Super happy for you that your partner took that chance for both of you. I was lucky enough to have my wife make it obvious I had a shot, and I took it, and we are also enjoying growing old together.
How did she make it obvious
Remarked about my kids with the phrase "good genes." Some of them came from me!
