met about 2 years ago now when we were both just finishing high school. He actually grew up on the other side of the country from me and had just come to Ontario to do his final year of high school and live with his aunt and uncle, but I hadn't met him all year. Anyway, some of my (male) friends were at my house just hanging out and they asked if they could invite over a friend of theirs (touting that he was really hot, but unfortunately straight, lol). When I first met him I totally misjudged him as this major idiot jock - he was on the basketball team, while I was (am!) a total dork who would never ever picture myself going for a jock-type! lol
Anyway despite the misjudgement, by the end of the night it was fairly obvious that there was chemistry between us... So we saw eachother a few more times and I discovered that I was very wrong about the idiot-jock judgement and that he was (is!) actually extremely intelligent and into literature (like me). By the end of the week I was head over heels, and a few months later we were making plans to move in together! See, I was going to university in a few months (in another city) and he didn't know what he was doing so he decided to come with me and do the same - he'd never really thought about going to university to study English because no one ever really encouraged him to do that, etc. (now he's more of a hard-core student than I am! well, almost... lol)
The moving in together so soon was really a financial decision more than anything - and it just kind of 'made sense' too. We both figured we were going to be together for a really long time at that point (probably forever) and honestly it didn't seem scary at all. Now my extended family are nudging me about marriage (as suddenly all my cousins are 'getting hitched')!!! Well, not anytime soon, THAT'S for sure... lol!
