"I was the one to show interest in her on this site.  She emailed me back a couple days later with her email address.  We began talking through email and IM's and began to get to know each other.  She informed me that she was seeing someone already, so I suggested that we stay friends.  I went home on leave for New Years.  When I came back I was delighted to hear that she was single again.  We planned on meeting one night at Starbucks.  She was giving me crap because I wasn't going to shave or dress up to meet her.  I gave her crap right back, I wanted her to see me as I usually am.  Because I didn't let her get away with it, she agreed to meet me.  After meeting we talked and at the end of the night she got a goodnight kiss.  A couple of nights later we met at a park.  We lay on a blanket, looked at the stars and snuggled.  That is when I really began to fall for her.  That night I gave her a pink rose.  After that night our love began to grow.  We spent all the time we could together.  Any excuse for us to be together, we took advantage of it.  Anything either of us did with friends or family the other one was there.  The only thing that kept us apart was me going out to sea.   It has now been 4 months.  I am deployed at the present time and she has vowed to wait for me.  Our engagement and wedding day should follow shortly after I return, and then we can start our family.  I have never met a woman like her; she is so perfect for me."
