History

I’m 32 and had been single for almost 4 years after a string of unhealthy relationships. In that time, I dabbled with dating apps on and off, eventually becoming completely comfortable with the idea of “being open to love, but not willing to settle.”
2019 was my year, I turned some major corners self-growth wise and by the end of it, I’d purchased my dream home, a 3 bed suburban house that I would make my own but dreamed about it being filled one day with my own family (even if that was to be a doggo or two!).
Little did I know that I’d move in 4 days into a pandemic and like many others, have any love prospects completely stall for months! So I focused on making my new house a home. They say that you find love when you least expect it..
I’d been following a local history Facebook page for about a year with no idea who had been running it. Then, the FB page posted a video with him in it. I recognised him from school but we’d never spoken and he certainly wasn’t the awkward teen I remembered him as!
I decided to add him and started stalking his profile like most girls would... couldn’t see a girlfriend. Still, I didn’t know what to do. This wasn’t tinder, it was FB!
A few weeks later in July, as I was working from home, some hot bloke walked past my house (slow work day) and it was him! I sat there thinking for a moment and decided it was the universe nudging me to message him, and so I did!
On our first proper date he gave me a tour around a historic mansion and what should have been a 3-4 hour date ended up lasting 9 hours! We’ve been inseparable ever since, becoming that annoying couple that say things like “when you know, you know!” and we now live together with plans to eventually get a dog. My dream house has never felt more like home.
I couldn’t be happier and the rest, as they say, is history!
