I remember last year, at the same date and time, I was madly in love, yet confused, with someone in Italy. As a matter of fact, I was in Italy. It was fun, it was a good memory, but my heart was not in peace. It kept questioning the reality and I guess, by my current definition, it was giving signals that something was not right with my relationship.
However, I kept going, until August 2011.
I met a friend, who once asked me out and backed off when he found out that I had a boyfriend.
A friend who I kept thinking of when I was in a relationship with my Italian boyfriend.
A friend who I kept wondering about what he is doing.
A friend whom I expected to ask me out again, but he never did. A friend, who apparently I liked since the first day we met.
I thought he didn’t like me and I went to Italy for one more time to settle the battle in my heart that had been going on for a year of my relationship.
I was broken hearted after coming back from Italy knowing that my heart said that I should break up with my Italian boyfriend. I had arguments with him, and the more I knew him, the more I knew that it wouldn’t work, but oddly, my brain was trying to convince me that it would work. I was torn apart and didn’t know what to do. One time, I decided to break up with him, and I felt so relieved in addition to feel sad and broken heart.
Until one day, on a Saturday morning, I volunteered as I always do with Rotary Club of Caulfield, and Duncan, my friend I told you above, was there.
It was 20 August 2011, and since then, we always found reasons to see each other.
We started to develop feeling for each other and it was not easy for him to deal with a broken hearted, indecisive, confused woman who kept saying to him to stay away from her. Luckily, he stayed by my side until 16 September when I decided to move on from my past relationship and be with him.
A few weeks after we declared our relationship, I still couldn’t completely forget about my ex, but Duncan was really supportive.
One night, he was playing games with his friend and I called him telling him that I’m missing my ex and thinking about him.
Duncan drove to my place, it was drizzling, and when I welcomed him at the doorway, he kissed me under the rain and he cuddled me to sleep that night. That moment I knew that this is the man I would give my feeling to, the man who I can trust that he would protect my feeling.
and there are so many sweet things he has done to me..
We live together now, and we get along very well.
He is really loving, caring, listening, understanding, and fun to be around.
He’s cute, smart, and a good communicator.
He loves animals, he’s a family man, but on the other hand, he’s manly too; he can protect me, he parks his car impressively, and he is really skillful with computer.
I feel so lucky that I met this guy.
I guess I’m in love :-)
