Jeff and I met on my birthday in 2005. My older brother's birthday falls the day after mine and he was turnung 30 that year.  Being a milestone, we left it up to him as to how he wanted to celebrate. A friend of his owned a bar and was having a grand re-opening party the night of my birthday.  So that is what we did. It was a biker bar and not my typical surroundings at that time in my life (I was 23). This guy started buying me drinks and the next thing I know I was kissing on him in front of my mom (but hell it was my birthday afterall!!) Turns out that guy was the son of my brothers friend. He lied about his age all night and at the end of the night I found out he was 19.  I didn't ecpect to see him again (though I did give him my number)  he wasn't "my type", so I chalked it up as a fun time. He did call and I wasn't going to go out with him, but he asked me to let him take me out once and if his age was still an issue I didn't have to see him again.   We went to dinner the next week-end and after to play pool and have drinks. He was carded at the pool hall and had is fake ID taken away, we ended up falling asleep watching movies on his dad's couch. I still had my doubts after that night but he was a hard one to turn downand you can imagine my surprise when he turned out to be the love of my life. We are going on 5 years now , and those years have been filled with contriversy and drama, the 2 people that brought us together now hate each other, but the one thing that has remained constant and easy is the love and respect we have for each other. It should be harder than what it is but the simple fact that it is not is how I know that he's the one.
