It's nice you got that D, I'm happy for you
I've been looking for a new bae (don't know why I'm using that term as a kinda hate it lol) off and on for a while. But the hunt is rough and tiresome, If it happens it happens, but for now I don't think I'll put a whole lotta time or effort into it. Gotta work on me now
That was actually how things happened for us. We both were in our first long term relationship, and while she wasn't engaged, the guy said she was the one he wanted to marry. And then we both got broken up with on the same weekend (geez, July sucked!). We both had several month long slump where things just weren't good, and then we both resolved that we would just focus on us and wait for another relationship to just happen, not even really try.
Well, she goes to the same university I did, and we've known each other for 2 and a half years. She's 2 years behind me. I visited band camp one day (we both did band) and then I visited with her and 2 of her friends for a while, as we are all fairly close. After I left, the one friend told her that she and I should go on a date, and continued to say that for months. Come Thanksgiving, we start talking a bit more. I then went down for the one's 21st birthday and had dinner and hung out with them, and asked the other 2 friends if this girl had ever said anything to them about me. Well, they interpreted it wrong, and then when they were all talking later after I had left and they all had alcohol, she got upset when they told her their wrong interpretation. and then, as a result, we admitted our feelings for each other, and then went out on our first date to see Star Wars and have dinner the week before Christmas.
And since then, we have seen each other lots. We officially started dating back on the 11th, and for both of us, it is such a strange thing that happened. We both swore off relationships and focus on our lives, but then we ended up gravitating towards each other. And for both of us, it is a far different (in a good way) relationship than our previous ones. We enjoy each other far more than the things we actually do. And we both are much happier than in our previous relationships, which says a lot really. For both of us, it feels so right.
And for both of us, there is a saying: Things happen for a reason. And things certainly happened, and they appear to have happened for that good reason.
Sorry to derail your thread, just wanted to tell a story that hopefully has some advice there for ya
Back on topic: nice Cogman! If the crotch on mine hadn't broken, I really would love him more. But he is still fantastic.
