Coleman and I had been best friends since I was in 8th grade and he was in 9th grade. We met through a guy I was hanging out with at the time. We hung out everyday and he even drove me to school most days!! He had asked me out a couple times but never wanting to ruin the friendship we had I said no every time. We continued to be best friends all through high school and after both of us were graduated. Shortly after we were both graduated he decided to join the army, I felt like he was leaving me!! We continued to keep in touch and I though about him every day, probably more then most usually think about someone who's just a friend!! We had both signed up for this online dating site and neither of us had met anyone that was good for us. One day I was looking for matches on the website and came accross his profile. I clicked just for fun and was reading what he was looking for in a relationship. Thats when it hit me, everything I had been looking for was in front of my face the entire time and I never realized it!! So I emailed him and we decided to be together. I waited 5 months for him to come home on leave and we were together as a couple for the first time, everything was like it was meant to be. He drove me to Virginia Beach in the short time that he was home and on a cold night on the sand in front of the ocean he popped the question!! Now were waiting another 5 months to be together again only this time when he comes home on leave we will be getting married!!! It's so great to be marrying my best friend of 9 years, I couldnt have asked for life to take me in a better direction!
