Alex and I met 5 years ago through our mutual friend, Evan. Evan was holding a party and I asked Evan to introduce me to Alex. Alex had such warm eyes and a friendly smile. I just had this weird feeling after talking to him that 'I'd be seeing him more often'. We eventually went on about 2 dates, but nothing panned out because he was grappling with a recent breakup (months before we met). We remained friends and saw each other a couple times a month when we hung out with our mutual friends. To my surprise, a year after we met, on July 4th, (2005), Alex formally asked me on if we could start dating. We've been together ever since. I feel like we're an old married couple already!! I'd say about 2 years into our relationship we planned to marry. We love each other very much and we also love each other's family---which is great.
