Jake and I met at  the dental office where I work. He came in once, and I saw him, and thought he was really cute, but i was way too shy to say anything. The next time he came in, i made sure i was around, and that he saw me. he claims he flirted, but if he did.. i didnt notice! He was leaving for boot camp, and didnt think I would be interested, so he didnt ask me out. while he was gone, his sister continued to come in, and i would ask her how he was doing. at the same time, he would as her how his "future wife" was doing! when he came home, his sister came in, and asked me if i was single, and said that she thought he was going to come in and ask me out. He had bad timing. I had just gone on a date the night before, and i couldnt date two guys at once. He came in that week, and I avoided him. The next time he came it though it wasnt as easy, i was walking down the office stairs right as he was standing at the bottom. I awkardly walked by, hoping he didnt know who i was. i hid in the back, panicking, until i came up with the bright idea to carry a 2 year old up the stairs, "blocking" my face. i thought i did a good job. A couple weeks later, i still couldnt get him off of my mind, and i contacted him online. One of the first things he asked me was why i avoided him! i wasnt as slick as i thought. We have a good story now though!  We were engaged 2 months later, and about 2 months after that Jake left to begin a 1 year deployment. now i am anxiously waiting for him to return, and in the meantime i have been slowly picking up ideas for our wedding.
