Nick and I met on an online dating site. We both feel that the best part of this is that we grew up in the same town and went to the same school yet never knew of each other. He is two years older than me so we never had any classes together. His sister is a year younger than me and is friends with one of my best friends, yet we have never crossed paths.  I truly believe that fate brought us together. We had both been through rocky relationships and were looking online for no reason other than a “Why the heck not?” He told me after we met that he was going to delete his profile soon and was shocked to get a response from me.  We talked for several weeks before we met. We talked for hours each day and got to know a lot about each other, never a dull moment in the conversation. We met in May and spent most of our time together until I went back to school in August. I would say that August was when I knew that I was in love. The day I moved back to school and couldn’t imagine being apart. He cried because he didn’t want to leave me, which in turn made me cry. It was truly touching to see how much he cared about me. For the two years that I was in school we made the most of the distance and tried to see each other as much as possible. He proposed one month before I graduated from college. I truly cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
