Sometimes you think that you will never find love again, and just when you are about to give up....it finds you, on MySpace of all places! :) I had just stopped dating a guy that I knew wasn't the one and while I had other "suitors" who were kind and sweet I just couldn't ever see myself falling in love with them. This was back in the day that MySpace was brand new and popular {before Facebook} and I had joined a singleparent LDS site. Not looking for love, just for someone else to talk to about my kids mostly. One night I had a message from a guy I had noticed on the site who talked about his little girl and the trials he had and how he had overcome them. I was secretly intrigued with him and shocked to have a message from this man. After talking via the internet for a few weeks we exchanged phone numbers and then after talking on the phone for a few more weeks decided on an actual date! It wasn't love at first sight for either of us, as we were both dating others and not looking for anything too serious, but it was a fun date {even if he did try to kill me while he was driving because he was so nervous}! After our 2nd date he mentioned to me that there was another girl he liked a lot and would be deciding within the week who he would want to pursue more since he didn't think it fair to keep both of us on the line. I instantly starting freaking out {in my head} cause I REALLy liked this guy....but hadn't really been able to admit it to that point. I went home after that date and cried most of the night. He had to go away on business to California and I waited the entire week to hear from him. I was certain he had decided on "the other girl" and not me. I was heartbroken just thinking about losing this totally sweet and perfect guy so soon. He was one in a million! He came home on Friday night and called me as
he drove home from Salt Lake City. He was pretty casual for a while and it was KILLING me not knowing if he had chosen me or not. I admit, I was pretty stand-offish because I just wanted to know but not seem desperate! Finally, he said those words to me I had been dying to hear all week...could he date ONLY me? I think I must have screamed just a little cause I think I caught him off gaurd. I think I caught myself off gaurd cause I honestly wasn't expecting it and was so excited. I was scared to trust and love again as I had been hurt so badly....but I just knew that this guy was "THE ONE". He wanted to take things slow...as in, he REFUSED to kiss me till he knew he loved me. So, we dated. And finally it became a joke
in my family! They teased us all the time about all this dating and NO KISSING! And I was honestly getting ready just to give him a big kiss cause I was DYING to kiss him!!!! One night he came to my house for a date, dinner and a movie. After the movie he put on some music and asked me to dance. This was nothing new as we loved to dance together. Heck, I loved any chance I could get at being close to him....even if it wasn't kissing! So we danced and then at the end of the song he handed me a card. He was FAMOUS for his sweet cards he was always sending me or leaving around the house. So I was surprised that he actually handed me one! I read it and the final words of the card read "I LOVE YOU". I looked up at him and with tears in my eyes ran into his arms and enjoyed THE most amazing and memorable kiss I had ever recieved! It was so worth it to wait till we loved eachother for that "true loves first kiss". He truely was my prince charming! He proposed to me on a beach in California at sunset in March of that same year and then we
were married on June 3. We have been married for almost 6 years now and I feel like I am still living a dream each and every day. He is my best friend. The person who dries my tears and holds me when I am sad, who laughs with me and can make me smile no matter what my mood is. He is THE greatest guy in the entire world and I am so happy to call him mine. Our love story only grows stronger and stronger every single day...and it is a love story that will last for all of eternity!
