How I met your Father...

Lots of women are posting how they met their spouse so I thought it would be fun....



I am sure I have way more to type up so this might be a two--three--or even four part post.



First part---



I need to tell you a little about my "dating" history.



I didn't do it. I went to your dances, proms, homecoming, and I went on group dates, but when it came to one-on-one dating, it just didn't happen for me.

I was too awkward--too busy--and honestly too scared to date much.

The only guy I went on steady dates with was a Handicap guy that would ask me so we went. Always dinner and a movie---it was fun. Also there was no expectations of course so I could be totally free to be myself.

With anyone else I always felt like I had to be all prim and proper. It is funny to look back on now--I had some amazing guy friends who would have been great to date, but alas--I missed out. I think I "went out" as in going steady, with three or four guys and rarely held hands even. I think I have kissed (romantically) maybe 4 guys before I met Lucas. (Being in a theater group we would hug, kiss, and hold hands like you would with a brother or sister, nothing romantic at all-kind of like kissing your parents--normal for my crowd, a sore spot with Lucas, we don't talk about it much.-so I have kissed maybe 10 guys total.) I wasn't prude, I just didn't want to be one of those girls who had to have a guy all the time, so I was on the opposite end--never have a guy around.


BUT...I was fine with it at the time, and still am fine with my dating history.


so fast forward to college.

There were lots of cute guys, but if any one in my group (we had a good group of girls) liked the same guy I did I always told her to "go for him-you too would be cute" or "I like him, but I am not as interested as you--go for it!".

So our group got in the habit of going over the Institute building (the Institute building is a place where we take religion classes-not part of the college, but very important in our religion-no smoking, no drinking, just good kids having clean fun), to play pool or just hang out. One night I walked in and saw a guy who liked me, and I didn't like back AT ALL. I thought "great--this is going to be a long night".
But when I walked into the room where the pool table was I stopped in my tracks when I saw this amazingly goodlooking guy sitting in the corner. I litterally stopped walking and just stared for a few seconds.
He was leaning back in the chair he was in. He had on blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and I think a baseball cap. His facial hair was a little scruffy, but not unkept.
His friend (the guy who liked me), started introducing all of us to his friends. Daniel, Micah, and Lucas. Lucas was the hot one!
I thought--"great friends with C____ this guy is going to be a total idoit."
We stayed and played pool with all of them for quite a while. I totally fell for Lucas. He was smart, funny, charming, and so hot.
On the way home-of course we were talking about the guys--and one of my friends said-"did you notice how cute Lucas is?"
to which I answered "BACK OFF - HE IS MINE!" I was totally serious too. My friends all looked at me--this was NOT the normal Amy answer.

So the next night we went back to the Institute building. All day I had been thinking of Lucas and hoping he would show up again tonight....And he did!
We all played pool again and stayed up way to late. It was so fun hanging out with him. He wore a white shirt and blue jeans again, but he had shaved. still super goodlooking! and just as fun as the night before.

The next night I was so excited to see him--but he wasn't there--infact he didn't come back to the Institute Building for a week!

To be Continued.....
