So I finally got the guts to ask the guy I've been liking for the past 3 months, if he liked me. Which with the support of my friends, who actually forced me into the situation (Thanks a lot Angie).
I told him after our school's graduation ceremony a few weeks ago. He didn't respond right away, but later that night through an email, he told me his feelings.
We've been going out since, and it has been, by far, the best relationship I've been in. I had one in 6th grade, but that didn't mean anything at all. And the one in 7th grade, was off and on until my freshman year in high school. And then we broke up. Then hooked up during my sophomore year. Which I'm not proud of at all. And then with a streak of bad relationships, and idiotic boyfriends (except for Sam, he's cool), I've been single for 3 years, until now.
After he told me how he felt, I knew something wonderful had happened.
I had known him for a while, and knew what he was like. He's really sweet, and is funny. When people tell him to be quiet, I don't. I enjoy what he has to say, and laugh. He is just himself, and I love that about him. But I fell in love mostly with his smile (and his eyes). His sense of humor, might not match mine all the time, but I love him anyway.
I've met his parents, who actually like me. Which is like a super bonus!! I've met his brother, who is ok.
But here's the awkward part. He has the same first name as my father. His brother has the same name as MY brother, and his mom's name is very similar to my mom's name. It's really weird! But I don't care.
We've gone out places, and we've gone out with groups. I've been to his house to watch a movie.
But I think the thing that assured me about this relationship, was what he told me. I did this survey thing, and posted it to a bulletin on Myspace. And I was completely honest with myself on this thing. It asked things about yourself.
When he read it, he probably was surprised. But what he said to me after that, made me feel like our relationship would last for a very long time. Now, I won't say what the secrets were. He told me, that the past is the past. And all that matters, is that I am better now, and I learned from it. Now him being a christian and all, might sometimes affect his opinion of me, but that didn't seem to be the case. He saw my past choices, and told me that he said he offers his full support, and only wants to make me happy. That he made a promise to be there for me, when he became my boyfriend.
Now, telling him those deep dark secrets that early in a relationship was kind of not right in a way, but he had to find out sooner or later.
Now, every time he says he loves me, I know he means it. Even though love is thrown around, meaningless between friends, but when someone means it, you'll know.
