As a guy, it’s not common to fall like an anvil for a woman so quickly, yet remain patient. I’m a sophomore in college and we were friends for a year before we started dating.

I never thought I would fall for Audriana, but unfortunately, love has a schedule and agenda completely different from my own; I was caught off guard. I guess it was because I had a hard time finding a girl who lived up to my physical, emotional, intellectual, moral and ethical standards. In October of 2011, I fell like a 200 pound rock without warning. However, I found she had been waiting for a couple of years for a guy she knew in high school, so I almost lost hope. Then, in February of 2012, the college’s Fire & Ice Ball came along. I asked her as a friend and she immediately said yes. We had a great time that night, but I didn’t mention a thing about my feelings.

Then, right after the dance, the winds changed. We talked for awhile and then came the daunting question I wasn’t sure I was ready to answer: “Do you like me?” I saw no reason to lie and laid all my cards on the table. I said, yes i do. She confessed that before the dance, she had no feelings for me- but the dance seemed to change thIngs. As a result, we decided to go out and I’ve never been happier. I now know that i am deeply in love with her and that she is my soul mate and I feel honored to know she feels the same way about me.
