He saw me and thought hed like to get to know me, so he came over and asked for my number. I said no, and he was respectful and let it go. But from then on, wed see each other from time to time and exchange small talk. A good year or so later, I finally gave him my number, we began talking, and eventually started dating. As I like to say, we had a very slow start to what will be a very long and beautiful history.
