I want to introduce you to my love, "Dino" as I call him here. This boy is wonderful. He's my first real boyfriend (I don't think the high school "boyfriend" I had counts...), but somehow he's turned into the one guy I want to be with forever. We met via the internet (oooh, online dating....), and I had NO expectations. I thought he'd be a nice guy to meet, have some fun with, gain some love experience, and just basically met him on a whim (he was also the 3rd guy I met from that dating site, the first two turned out to be duds, so I didn't really think anything would happen with Dino). Boy was I unprepared for him! I was really cautious and tried not to fall for him very quickly, but before I knew it we'd been dating for 6 months, were going on a cruise together, and had said the L word. I hardly knew what was happening, I wasn't a boyfriend kind of girl and here I was in a long term relationship!
On maybe our 5th date, he told me that he was hoping to get married soon, since all his friends were married, one couple with a kid already. It totally freaked me out. I was so not ready to even think about marriage. After a year, I started thinking about it more, and thought I was ready to at least start hoping a little, and then a couple months later we started talking about the possibility. Nothing concrete, just the idea of someday. Now it's been two years, and I'm thinking about it more than ever. We talk about it occasionally too. I was watching a wedding horrors show, and he said something about how I will be the best wedding planner ever, since I watch all these wedding shows - if he only knew!
He also asked one time, while drunk, what kind of a ring, if someone were to buy me one, I would like...
A long time ago, we had a discussion about living together. We don't live together, but also decided we won't live together until we're married. We talked about it a bit, but I think my main reason is that if we lived together, nothing would change once you got married. There was also the issue of jobs (we work in different cities) and he has a roommate. But mainly it would be nice to have something distinctly different once married, something that makes you feel different all around in your life. So yeah. It would be NICE, especially since I am losing my job and moving back to my parents' house (long story...), but I wouldn't want to break our agreement and force him into anything he wouldn't want!
Anyway, there you go, a little history on us and our relationship. I truly love the boy, and am really hoping and excited by the idea of being together forever, once that happens!!
