I’ve been posting on here for about a year now and I’ve never really gone much into detail about my personal life. That’s the type of person I am, though. I don’t mind people knowing who I am, but then again at the same time, I’ve always been one to keep my private life private. Every once in a while, something happens that I’m proud enough about that I’m more than willing to share with people.
I’m 30 years old and have always been single. Single as in never married. Have been in several relationships. I’ve just never found that one I knew was going to be the one. I decided at an early age that I was going to be extremely picky. I wanted to avoid getting into a bad marriage as much as possible. Yes, I know that sometimes you don’t realize it until afterword, but I’ve also seen more than my fair share headed for disaster right from the beginning. With me, I just also knew I was young and had a lot of things to do and some living to do before I decided to get married. I’m glad that I did the things I’ve done, also. I don’t really have any regrets. I’ve done several stupid things and other things I just could have done a lot different. That’s the stuff that’s made me who I am, though. And you know what? I’m happy with who I am.
I always said, though, that if the right person comes along then I need to not ignore that. I’m still going to be picky about it, though. Well, a few years ago I made the decision that I need to make more of an effort to find this person because I had decided I was ready for that stage of life. Easier said than done, of course. I’ve dated my fair share of women and had fun doing it. I’ve met several wonderful women who are very close friends. I’ve also made an enemy or two along the way. That’s just part of the game, though.
Well, there’s been this one woman who over the last 6 months or so who always caught my eye. She works in a different department than I do so we never really got much of an opportunity to talk. We finally started the small talk and exchanged numbers. After our first conversation I was blown away. Not only is she really pretty, but she’s really smart. We didn’t have exactly the same interests, but they were close enough. The way we clicked was absolutely unbelievable. We almost immediately were finishing each other’s sentences and realizing we were thinking the exact same thing on a lot of things. She’s just under two years older than me so it’s nice having someone my own age and a higher maturity level than some of the other girls I’ve gone out with. (Yes, I know that age does not always mean maturity and vice versa by any means.) Anyway, long story short, I’m completely out of my apartment the 19th of September and I’ll be completely moved in with her. Right now, the tentative wedding date is set for April ’06.
