I honestly believe in love at first sight. I believe this
way because it happened to me and my husband. One of my friends was friends
with one of his friends and they wanted to set us up. I had never seen him or
talked to him before. We decided to meet each other at lighthouse lanes and go
bowling and get to know each other better. We met there, and from the moment
that our eyes met, I knew that he was the one. It wasn’t that easy though. That
night we got to know each other better and gradually did over the next few
months. At first I was being stubborn and didn’t want to let him know that I
liked him so I tried to avoid him. It didn’t work. With trying to avoid him I
quit talking to him and didn’t answer his texts or phone calls. When I quit
doing that he decided to show up at my work to see what was going on. I didn’t
talk to him then since I was working. I didn’t want to get in trouble at work.
I told him that he needed to leave and that I would talk to him later. He
eventually left and I kept working the rest of my shift. What I didn’t know at
that time was that he had left the actual building, but he hadn’t left the
store. He was parked by my car waiting for me to get off of work so he could
talk to me. He knew that if he didn’t talk to me then that I would probably
ignore any texts or calls that he sent to me. We talked then about what was
truly going on and began to date then. We had only know each other for a little
bit of time at this point but we still decided to date anyway. While we were
dating was when I was starting at OTC for the first time. My parents were very
protective of me when I was younger and in high school also. I could hardly do
anything, so when I finished high school and had a bit more freedom, I went way
overboard. I wanted to be able to spend time with him, but my parents didn’t
want me to because he was 5 years older than me. At that point they thought
that he was too old for me and didn’t like the age difference. At that point I
was 17 and he was 22. Since my parents didn’t want me spending time with him, I
began to skip school to spend time with him. I would leave at the normal time
that I needed to get to school, but I would go to his apartment instead. We
would talk, spend time together, watch tv, etc. I got to spend time with him
without my parents knowing. However, by doing this, I was unable to keep up
with school. I was missing too many classes and couldn’t catch up. Also at that
point, I didn’t care about going to school. I was tired of having school work
since I had just finished 13 years of schooling prior to starting at OTC. I
decided at that point to drop out and not pursue any schooling. I instead
increased my hours at work and began to spend more time with him also. I told
my parents that I was going to spend time with him regardless and that they
needed to deal with it. We weren’t doing anything wrong and were just hanging
out. Shortly after this time, I decided that I was sick of being treated like a
dog on a leash and that I wanted to move out. I told my parents that I was
going to move in with him and would come home
