On May 30th 2009 I was dragged to a party I was told was for a guy who was turning 23. At the time I was 27 and I went with my sister who was 18. I used to hang out a lot with my sister back then but I didn't want to hang around other people her age so that's why she lied about the birthday party. When we get there I see a darkened room with empty liquor bottles that had glow sticks in them. Not gonna lie I liked the decor but I noticed everyone in there was YOUNG! I got upset and stood in a corner for about half an hour with my sisters friends trying to cheer me up. No one was getting through to me until this cute guy offered me a drink. I looked at him trying to guess his age but I couldn't, I was just thinking "damn he's cute". I agreed to the drink and we sat down and began a conversation.Then we danced a little and after I was feeling nice from some drinks I sat on his lap and we spoke some more. The topic of age came up and I told him I was 27 and he told me he was 22. He looked it so I let it be. We exchanged phone numbers and a kiss (or a few kisses :) and I was on my way thanking my sister for inviting me to the party lol.The next day he and I speak and let each other in on a few secrets. I let him know I had a 2 year old daughter which he was happy and not surprised at all. He tells me he's not 22, he's younger. I try and try and try to remain friends with him for a few weeks and not let my feelings get the best of me considering we talk about everyday and besides his looks he's going to college, is a hard working guy, quite mature and is very interested in me. Eventually our friendship blossoms and we start dating. My fiance, Brandon, is a great man and I thank my sister, in my mind, all the time for dragging me to that party. I met a man who loves me, adores my daughter and will be a great husband! Besides our age difference we have a lot in common. A lot of people had negative comments about our relationship because of our age difference but I know people in relationships with people closer to their age and struggle to make it work or have seperated. I have been in relationships with people closer in my age and older then me and have never been as happy as I am now! You never know where love will turn up : )
