I was at my college orientation in a new place where I knew absolutely no one at all.
I walked around at lunchtime trying to find somewhere to sit when I noticed a really cute guy eating alone. I thought about asking him to eat with me as I got closer to him, but I felt more and more nervous as I approached him. Before I knew it, the words kind of just fell out of my mouth and, thankfully, I was able to sit with him and start up a conversation.
It was sort of a crazy feeling because I didn’t expect myself to ask a stranger to sit with me and I don’t even know what drew me to him so quickly. After lunch, he asked me for my number and I, of course, gave it to him, even though I had a boyfriend. A few months later, we started school and started hanging out more and more. I knew I was falling for him and so I broke up with my boyfriend back at home.
It was a bumpy and complicated story, but in the end, it was clear we should be together, falling quickly in love. Last month we celebrated our 2 year anniversary. This was the perfect gift for him, an astronomy major, who is always teaching me new things about the night sky.
It’s also amazing to remember that exact day and time and place where we thankfully met and began our story. ❤️
