Ok so here's my story if anyone's interested, kinda long, and I don't know if it'll make sense, but I was bored so here it goes...
I met Joe in 7th grade at a football game. We go to the same school I just didn't know who he was cuz my school's so big. We talked a lot after we met and he became one of my best friends. We tried to date a couple times.. but we never did. He had always liked me, but I said, it would be better if we were just friends.
Since we were "just friends", I went out with his best friend, who I was infatuated with. We dated for 7 months.. he treated me like crap and Joe was ALWAYS there for me and was SO nice when my boyfriend was being a doink. I started to develop feelings for him. All of my friends would be like, "We all know you like him.. you guys NEED to go out!" But I denyed it. Wrong.. I know.
So that summer ended.. and my 8th grade year, I was just fed up with my boyfriend, so I broke it off. To make a long story short.. me and Joe had strong feelings for eachother and I thought he was going to ask me out. But I was SO blind.
My "good friend" Katie, at the time, told Joe he was obsessed with me... and that I was "playing games" with him. And she bet him that he couldn't go a DAY without talking to me. So he challenged her. The next day at school, he didn't say ONE word to me. I asked my friend Katie if she knew why he wasn't talking to me. She said, "I don't know.. maybe you should ask him." So the rest of the day I was so pissed off.
I got home that day and called him and just cried and yelled at him. He told me what she said.. and he said he no longer liked me. Here I was, so INFATUATED with him, thinking he was going to ask me out and he turns around and screws the whole thing. I was so pissed at my "friend" too.. how COULD she, she knew how much I liked him.
So.. as months went by, I was depressed and didn't talk to him from last October til this March. It crushed me inside, I had lost one of my BEST friends. I dated a few people, but it didn't work out, it wasn't the same. I was still so hooked on him.
He called me one day out of the blue.. and we started talking about what happened. And we both apologized for everything. We talked a lot after that and I was SO happy.. everything was going to work out.
I realized, he came back to me, and I never let go of the feelings I had for him, and he didn't let go of the feelings he had for me. I prayed that he would come back to me, and I had faith.. and it helped.
So May 8th 2004, he asked me out. Actually he said.. "Will you be my wife" but thats a different story.

We've been together ever since and I'm SO thankful and lucky to have him. I wouldn't trade him for anything. I still can't believe I have him..
Let's just say now.. Katie and I are NO longer friends.. dumb b*tch
