7 years ago I met a girl online and we chatted for a few nights. She was in London and I was in Ireland. We rather quickly swapped numbers and started talking on the phone. We talked almost every night for 4 years during which time we became absolutely crazy about each other. We both went in and out of relationships but secretly were inlove with eachother and wished we could be together. At the start of the last of those four years I met a girl over here in Ireland and it became a long term relationship of 2 years. After a year of this, Alice (the London girl) realised that her part in my life was causing problems with my Girlfriend, and so Alice did an honourable thing and said she had to let me go for the sake of my relationship with my girlfriend (it was causing major problems). So, for a year Alice and I did not speak. We both moved on and that was it. I was never to hear from her again. Until, At the end of that year of no contact I realised enough was enough. I could not shake my love for Alice no matter how hard I tried to make myself feel it for Katie. I got my phone one night and I dialled Alices number and she picked up not knowing who it was. I just said "hey Alice" and she hung up!!!
Then she text me saying "I know who this is. I alsmot just fainted"
So you can imagine my stress asI though this was a negative response! She called me back that night and explained that her boyfriend who she now LIVED WITH was there and they also had many problems because of her love for me! Wow!!
After ten minutes of talking I realised I'd never felt so alive and happy and that Katie just dod not make me happy
So, Alice and I entered into a secret friendship where we'd talk late at night and have to hide it from our partners. Tis went on for a few months and then I ended it with Katie and Alice ended it with her boyfriend. We kept talking for another month and then exactly one week befire Valentines day Alice said we had to meet and that we should let go of all our fears and meet up on Valentines day!! HOly flip I thought!!!
But after 3 days of persuasion and eventually an ultimatum of "it's now or never" from Alice I agreed. I wish I'd had the xanax back then! lol
So I'm at the airport. It's valentines day 2004. And she calls my mobile - somthing I was wel used to over the previous 5 years - but this time she says "I'll see you in 5 minutes" OH MY GOD!!! I was sh1tting myself!
Next thing my phone rings again and it's her. She says she's walking towards the doors where I was standing. I had no idea what she looked like so anything could have happened. I kept thinking what if she's stunning but doesn't find me that attractive or what if I don't find her attractive enough and we end up just friends. I was in love with this girl!!
So we're talking as she's walking to get to where I am and then I see this girl talking on her phone in the distance walking towards me. She is stunning!! 5'5, very slim, but very busty, light bworn hair with blonde highlights, stunning blue eyes, full lips. Just gorgeous. She is one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen and I think to myself no way, that can't be her!! She walked right up to me and nervously says "hi" on the phone but while standing right infront of me!
I say hi back into the phone and she smiles and hangs up and puts her phone in her handbag.
Now, in all the 5 years I was so so used to her hanging up and everything going silent so you can imagine how weird it was to hear the phone go dead but still have her there!!
So I say " how was the flight"
She giggles and says "aren't you going to hang up yet?"
OH MY GOD!! I still had the phone up to my ear!! LOL
What an idot!
So we chat for a while and then get in the cab.
At this point I'm thinking she looks like a model and there's no way she finds me attractive enough to take it further than friendhip
Then we sit in the cab in silence and text eachother because I guess it was something that were were so used to doing over the 5 years.
Her first text read "I always imagined you were good looking but oh my god you are gorgeous in real life"
RESULT!!!!
So at this point I'm like phew! and I start to relax........
Next thing you know she's flying over 3 weekends in a month every month and we've been together for a year and 9 months!! And we're getting engaged all being well next year! It's been 7 years since we first spoke and I've been inlove with her for all that time!! She was my dream and I got her!
So the moral of the story is: Take the risk and meet this girl!!! You never know what might come of it!
Life is full of opportunities! Grab them while you're still young!!
