A Growing Experience of Love
December 23, 2008
When it came to dating in high school I would’ve been considered an introvert. I was really shy with the ladies hence I was a nice guy, but just way too shy to ever try and get a date. I would much rather hang out with my friends and do boy things like lift weights and play sports. After graduating high school I decided to move out of state to Denver Colorado to sort of find out who I was on the inside.
As I got a little older, being away from my comfortable and usual environment, I began to get a little more confident in myself and in my approach to speaking with the female gender. As I entered the twenties I finally got my first girlfriend, with whom we were friends to begin with, so it was a lot easier for me to be myself.
After dating for a couple of weeks, there was this one day in particular that I remember, I made a Flower Delivery to her parent’s house for her to receive because she was still living with them at the time. I never did do anything like that before so I didn’t quite know who to call, how much money to spend or where to look. So I called my mother in Arizona to ask her for a little guidance. So after she gave me a little help, I ended up finding some Online Flowers for sale at a reasonable price. The end result was priceless! My girlfriend loved them and was very appreciative. I definitely scored some brownie points with that one. Well, time moved on and so did I. As I grew older I dated more but never really had anything that was considered serious.
I traveled quite a bit and needless to say, I was growing and maturing very rapidly. The shy and introverted high school kid I once used to be had been becoming an independent, confident and more social young gentleman. Being away from home made me grow up a lot and really gave me a sense of purpose in my life. After a couple years of being gone I decided to return back to my home state of Arizona. Within about a month time, I started dating a Pastor’s daughter, whom I was reacquainted with. Ironically, both of our family’ had known each other for a few years before then. So back to dating I was, and it was kind of nice because I got to work on my new identity within the confines of my original hometown.
On the night of her birthday, I made a path of Rose petals starting from my front door leading on to a blanket in my back yard so we can lay out underneath the stars together. That was the beginning of a 3 year relationship being the longest that I had ever been in. We had good times and we had bad times just like all relationships do, but I can safely say that we were just not meant to be together for the long run. Time made it known to me and so I moved on.
I am happily married now and have a beautiful son and two bright and beautiful step children and can honestly say that I am on a continual and expanding process of learning how to be romantic. There is always something that can be done or said to spark the romance in your relationship with your spouse or loved one like occasionally Send Flowers to her work or just randomly going on dates together. I have learned a lot about relationships throughout the years and so I can simply say that I do understand the importance of doing and saying things to let her know how much you care.
Got something to say?
