My Love Story, Funny and Tricky

Along my life I only have had one experience related to what is called love. The experience I am going to talk about is with my current girlfriend. We never thought we were going to be together. We met each other the first day of classes at university but, she told me she had seen me many times before.

The first time she saw me was in Carrefour supermarket one Saturday, two years ago; I did not see her in that moment. The second time, and actually the funniest, was when we had to come early at the university to practice some medical exams in order to be accepted. I said funny because according to her, we were so close and she noticed my presence but I did not notice hers. She was with some friends and I saw them but I do not know why I did not see her or why I did not remember her if I saw her in that moment.

Then, we met for the first time at the university and our relationship started as classmates. We did not expend a lot of time together, but the few times we talked, she told me I liked her. Two terms passed until we decided to be together, because the times we tried before, we did not agree with each other. When I told her if she wanted to be my girlfriend, she told me no and when she told me that I also said no. That is the reason why we never thought we would be together.

At the beginning of third semester, we again initiated to meet and as a consequence of that, a feeling grew inside of us. I still remember the day I decided to ask her again to be my girlfriend, it was a Wednesday and that day I skipped English class in order to meet with her. When I told her again, she was beating around the bush for a moment and I said to myself: “If she says no, I will not try it anymore”. Afterwards, I asked her in an unusual way; I said: “so what? Yes or no? She looked at me surprised for the tone of voice I used, but she finally answered yes.

Since that moment I have been with her. We have lived important and happy moments in our relationship and as many couples we also have faced many problems, which have caused our relation teeters on the brink. But we have overcome all those problems and in this moment we are together.
