How I Met My Husband

It’s so sweet to read stories about how couples met and the circumstances that brought them together. For me and my husband, we met during freshmen year of high school and became best friends. The thought of dating him didn’t even cross my mind. I had lots of boyfriends come and go, but he was always my best friend. It wasn’t until one day junior year when we were working together in chemistry class that the light-bulb in my head finally turned on. We were scooted close together trying to solve a chemistry problem when a classmate came up and asked us if we were dating. That totally caught me off guard! After that, I thought about it and realized that it made perfect sense. My husband had never had a girlfriend before, and I knew he wouldn’t ask me out, so I asked him. He said no. I asked again, and he said no again. So, we stayed best friends but I started to date other guys again. One day at lunch I mentioned a date I had gone on over the weekend, and he looked upset. After lunch, he admitted that he wanted to be in a relationship with me, but was apprehensive since he had never had a girlfriend before. Almost seven years later we’re still together and more in love than ever.

How did you meet your love? Were you friends first or did you date as soon as you met? Let’s give some reassurance to all the single ladies and gents that love will come their way, and that you’ll know it when it’s real.

Warm wishes,
