My Best Friend Wanted to Date Her

Share Your Story: How did you meet your partner?

From CandaceLovesAshley

Where I met my partner?

Well I met my baby girl Ashley through my old "best friend” Bree. See me and Bree were always together and we were really close. I never really told anyone I liked girls considering I didn’t want to be judged or it to get back to my parents. The only person that knew was Bree and Bree started "talking" to Ashley because she likes girls too. So one day Ashley was on Bree's myspace and seen me as her top friend and added me. We started talking on there and I came out to her. We started flirting around but nothing serious because I have never done anything with a girl. So we were just friends.

How we fell in love

Here is where it gets good. See bree was not comfortable talking to a girl so she told Ashley that she wanted to just be friends with benefits. Ashley was not comfortable with that and me and her were starting to get awfully friendly. So her and me started to actually talk as more than friends. I never met someone so beautiful and sweet. I could be myself around her. So on December 15, 2009 I decided to ask her out. She said yes and the next day after school she came home with me. She spent every single night at my house with me. We had to hide the fact that we were dating for this to happen. Her lying in my arms at night as I fell asleep and me waking up to her face was that happiest moment of my life.

It felt so right and I would never change the fact of us being together. Her dad found out and flipped out and we couldn’t see each other for like a month but we got thru it and he eventually came around and let us hang out and see each other for about a week. Now we are not allowed to see each other and it’s the hardest thing for me. I love her so much and she and I are engaged now. I can’t lose her but I got to keep strong for her and get through this so I can be with her. It’s worth it in the end. Because the day she turns 18 she is mine forever. Its still two years but I can wait. I love her. And she loves me. And nobody can keep us apart from each other in the end.

Advice

  • my advice to you all would be never give up for what you love. it may be hard but it is worth it, if you really care about them.
  • don't let other people get to you because people will talk about it and make fun.
  • be patient with them.
  • don't rush into things too fast, take it slow.
  • show her you care in any way that possible
  • never put her down
  • cherish every moment you have with her because you never know when those moments could get took away from you.
  • be yourself and don't worry about anyone else. as long as you're happy that is all that matters.
