Day 23- "He's probably not your type"

This next friend is very near and dear to my heart.  I met him (probably for the 2nd or 3rd time without even knowing that I had met him previously) at my friend Amy's wedding.  I remember thinking he was cute and funny.  He asked me for my number at the end of the night and then that was it.  He didn't try to call or anything. 

I brushed it aside and continued on with my life as normal.  A couple of weeks after the wedding I had received a facebook friend request from him.  I accepted but thought it was strange since I hadn't heard from him from when he requested my number.  Nonetheless, I went on with my life again.  He occasionally would comment on a post or a picture, but that was about it. 

Sometime towards the end of November my sister, mom and I had had a talk about guys and my mom put some things into perspective for me that night.  I was viewing guys all wrong.  So later that week I decided to talk to my friend Amy about this guy that I met at her wedding.

Amy told me that he was a super sweet and great guy.  She worried that I might of not been the type that I went for, but that seemed to always be my problem.  I was going for the wrong guys.  After talking to her for a while, I decided that I was going to ask him out.  I thought, what the heck, the worst that can happen is he will say no. 

I facebooked him and asked him out for a drink.  He accepted and we met that following Sunday.  We had a great time and from there the rest is history.  I can't not even begin to tell you how lucky I am to have found this guy.  He is everything that I have ever wanted:  Funny, outgoing, caring, will do anything for you, thoughtful, helpful... well I could go on forever!  I look forward to our talks, hanging out low key or even going to a sporting event.  We can do anything together and we seem to always have a great time.  I've been blessed and am forever thankful that I asked him out.  I am sure that we would have gotten together eventually, but the timing couldn't have been more perfect.  He is amazing!  I love him and I am happy to call him one of my best friends. 

So.... Here's to you Gary!  I love you always!
