Card29 VIII

[Card29]

You have it right. Well there were almost two years between the HS breakup (that R only last led three months, but it was my first lost love so it still cut deep [relatively, lol]) and truly dating W. And I was very happy during those two years. I wasn't pursuing any R, and since I was a virgin by choice, I really wasn't chasing girls outside of an R, either. I was enjoying time with friends, focusing on school after an abysmal first semester of college, doing work/volunteering for a Christian student union on campus, getting into the spirit of the college athletic teams, playing lots of pickup basketball at the student activity center, etc. W was the one who pursued me for a few months before I committed.

For a few years during my M, the worst of the years for me (sex virtually non-existent, W taking any and all frustrations out on me), I wished that I had had more "on my own" time. I settled into the M, though, then fell back in love with W.
