This is the first time we've properly re-organised since we moved in four years ago.

Lol I don't think he cared so much, I think it's rather that he didn't want to be on his own.

In regards to everyone's responses, they are very flattering! We were inseparable best friends before we started dating, and we started dating more because we couldn't resist each other than because we had crushes... If that makes sense. I tried for a good year to avoid non-platonic feelings for him, even tried not talking to him for a bit, but they didn't go away!

The split was more his idea because he is having a hard time with some aspects of his life and the prospect of marrying somebody is kind of freaking him out. We also have some serious deal-breaking issues that we were struggling with. So either we find better matches or we come back together in the end and work things out I suppose! Either is bittersweet, but I'm old enough that I need to be smart about my relationships.

On a side note, my parents dated a total of 3 months before they got married. He was 29, and she was 20. Razz

They knew each other beforehand, but it's still funny to me.

LJ: Wow, I guess that's why you were throwing away so many things then! If I re-organized, I'm sure I'd realize that I have a lot of trash in here.

And oh, I see. ;P Well, I guess most people do prefer not to be on their own, don't you think?

Meesh: That does sound very bittersweet! I hope everything works out for you in the end though. Smile

It's nice how you two have known each other for so long though! Are you two remaining close friends now?

Wow, that's cool about your parents! xD They must have definitely been in love then. I think my parents dated for about two years before they got married.

We are friends yes, but we are considering taking a break from friendship since our physical and romantic attractions are so strong. We fear it will keep us from being able to consider other people.

And yeah, my dad was her youth leader. My mom had a crush on him in high school, but she was 16 and he was 25. He told her he wouldn't date her until she was 18 and graduated. My mom went to college in the south, and (as my dad tells the story) left college because she heard he had a girlfriend. Razz

Oh, I see what you mean, that makes a lot of sense actually. Would it be hard for you to take a break from your friendship though? I think I would really miss him if I were you.

Aw, that's really neat about your parents! Smile

It's funny about how your dad says she left college because she heard he had a girlfriend. xD Was that true?
