He took me to IHOP the next morning. I was in love and I had just met this guy. What was I going to do? What was my mom going to think? To be honest, I wasn't at all worried about what anyone would think. I was a woman now (like the character in Dreamgirls) I could do whatever I wanted and I did. I spent the night the next night and the next night until we finally realized we were living together and doing everything together. I love the constant companionship.
He opened my doors and serenaded me at night. He seemed to be in love just as much as I was.
I was only 19 and hadn't had many relationships before this one. I mean the biggest relationship I had was with a best friend I had for many years that grew into a kind of love that was unexplainable but undefinable as well. He was someone I grew up with and loved but knew he didn't love me back so I moved on.
I moved on the next day literally. The night before I was due to meet my blind date (my husband now) I broke it off with that long time great friend turned kinda sorta boyfriend because I asked him if he was ready to settle down and make a commitment and he said he was not ready to do that. I love him because he was honest and that's all I could've really wanted.
I went on the blind date the next day and have been on a date so-to-say since. That was about 18 years ago.
