How it all began ... (how you met, first date, first kiss, how long did you date? first picture together.....etc.)
I had spent the better part of 4 years with someone I shouldn't have. Truth was, that boy had a power over me that I'll never understand. That being said, when that relationship came to a crash and burn ... I was making up for the fact that I'd been in a monogamous relationship between ages 18 and 22 with a reckless abandon. An irresponsible and hoe-bag kind of abandon. I was all about having "Fun" without being committed. In December 2008, one of my bestest friends on the planet, Sarah casually mentioned that she was having a small get-together and if I was looking for someone to have "fun" with for a few weeks ... that her husband's friend Andrew was going to be around. As it turns out, Andrew was thought to be a pleasant guy; except when it came to dating women. He had a tendency to be ... well ... not exactly boyfriend material.
I think one of the things that stuck out to me the most was the fact that Sarah's husband Ben was deployed at the time, as was her friend Jill's boyfriend. And out of the goodness of his little heart ... drove 20 minutes out of his way frequently to kill any bugs that Sarah was too petrified to do herself; and to make sure both girls were making it through in one piece. Ben, Jill's boyfriend Jay and Andrew were all buds in the same unit, you see.
I ended up liking Andrew enough to say "yes" when he asked if I wanted to catch a movie and dinner afterward at some point. The part that I find odd .... the two people on the face of the planet that wanted the furthest thing from a relationship ended up falling head over heels for each other.
