30 DBC #3- Love

Day #3- Love
ummmm, not quite sure what to say here. The challenge today is supposed to be about my first love but I don't want to give the title "First Love" to anybody in particular so I'll just briefly summarize my life experiences on liking members of the opposite sex. I guess I could say that there's always been girls I've been smitten with ever since i was a little boy so it really has been a lifelong search.

Being really small there was a girl who used to live across the street, one who lived a block away, and a couple others that I'd see several times. Going to elementary school there were one or two girls I had my eye on, a couple I actually got up the nerve to ask out in 5th grade. Nothing really happened with either of those occurrences, mostly cause I was extremely shy and didn't know how to interact with girls in that more than friendly way. This pretty much scared me away from really trying anything in Junior High and High School even though there were a couple girls I really had the hots for.

It wasn't until 2007 when I started to not worry so much about little things and just be myself around everybody especially women. I actually had the ambition to make more female friends. With that I started to meet girls left and right all of the sudden whether it be mutual friends, co-workers, or people on the internet. In that time I got the experience of fulling falling in love for a couple girls, however they were girls that I couldn't have for one reason or another. Dealing with the frustration was a great lesson to not be so gaga about someone when there's no sign of real romance.

Then in the fall of 2008 I started going out with my first official girlfriend which was exciting but strange cause the world of serious relationships was so new to me. The first serious relationship didn't last very long and shortly after I started going out with my second serious girlfriend (which you could read about on the blog from August 2009-May 2010). This relationship lasted 16 months which I expected but always had a hunch it would never move beyond that.

So for the remainder of 2010 I was really thrown out into the dating world like never before. There were good times and some other times I wish not to remember but overall it was good to gain more experience and realize that not every girl is for me. So that brings me to the current day and my third serious relationship which has felt the most real and right out of all of my silly crushes and other interactions with women. There's not much more I can think to say except that I am excited for my current love to grow.
