and I got real lucky with my woman, that's really the whole reason I think

to this day I don't know -- I sat next to her in an engineering course a year prior and then transferred out of that class as I'd already taken it, not even a month before I asked her out I was going for another girl who turned out to a) be a whore and b) ghosted me because of what some other girl had told her, said other girl happened to be my girlfriend's best friend but said best friend didn't know the woman who would become my girlfriend liked me at the time, I realised she liked me and that she was both amusing and nice so asked her out, one of my friend's girlfriends had drama with her and told me about it all right before I saw her and as such I honestly gave her a bit of a mediocre time, somehow managed a second date (which we counted as a first later on) in which I didn't even hold her hand, then the date after that we ended up doing a fair bit more than hand holding and about a month later I told her I love her

whole series of stuff that I genuinely have no idea how on Earth everything lined up in my favour but I'm glad it did
