When I first met him I felt like I already knew him and could trust him.  After seven months, we talked about being together, but I said I wasn’t certain what I wanted. He told me he was willing to walk a long and winding road on this adventure, and to take all the time I needed. A week later we kissed for the first time.

As I drove away after that kiss, a thought occurred to me-I just kissed the last man in my life. I knew immediately.

When we started dating she actually wanted to know about me. It wasn’t all about her (like my last relationship).

I was upset, telling him a pointless story and realized I was babbling like an idiot. Embarrassed I said “Forget it, I’m sorry. It’s not important.” He said “Everything you say is important.”

Postscript: We broke up after a year but that was sweet and scored him major points.

He started making our dates mini-adventures…kyaking, hiking, picnics…it was fun and exciting. I was impressed.

He wrote me a terrible death metal love song and played it for me on his guitar. The music was horrifying but I knew he loved me.

The first night I slept over I got my period and bled all over his white sheets. I was mortified. He said “No biggie, that’s what detergent is for,” and made me breakfast.

— Red

Postscript: We were together for a while but it didn’t work out. He’ still a great guy though. No hard feelings.
