View →He goes to a school a town over from me, and I knew a lot of people from that town but I had no idea he even existed. I saw him one day at a wrestling practice at my school, and I literally thought to myself, “Him. This is it. What I’ve been looking for all along.” I guess in some weird sense, that could be considered love at first sight even though I don’t believe in that. I went home that day and being the creep that I am tried to find him on Facebook. I had little to no information about him, so of course I failed. I needed to know who he was because I had such a great feeling about him. I didn’t know him, but every time after that, that I saw him.. I got such amazing butterflies. He probably didn’t even notice I was there. I finally got the guts to ask my friend who was on the same team as him what his name was. I put his name in the search bar on Facebook and added him immediately. The only bad news I got was that he was in a relationship and had been for quite a while. Of course that’s extremely discouraging so I tried to forget about him. But I guess I was in luck because they broke up soon after. Things were lining up for me.. so I began to put effort.
I liked his statuses quite a bit. I just wanted him to see my name.. maybe he’d look at my page or something. Give me a chance. Then one day… he liked one of my statuses and let me tell you.. just seeing his name there as a notification made my life. In return I liked one of his statuses and it went back and forth. Then my birthday came around. One of my friends had told me that they saw that he had written on my wall. Best birthday wish I received all day. I wrote back, thanking him and he said your welcome. I wanted to talk more but all I put after that was a smiley. To my surprise, he started up a conversation.. asking how my “snowy birthday” was going. From that point on, we held a conversation for several days on that post writing in paragraphs. It ended with him giving me his number. Sweet, sweet success!
I had been such an unhappy kid before I met him. He’s made me the happiest I’ve ever been. We texted everyday from February 12th to May 7th where he finally asked me out. I waited for him because he was exactly what I needed.
We’ve been going out now for a little over three months. And let me tell you, I’m so in love with him. I worked so hard for this from the very beginning, and I promise to never give up. I know it’s cliche to say, but with the way things worked out.. it was just meant to be.
I love you, Anthony.
