Have you ever fallen in love with a woman because of her personality, even though you weren’t initially attracted to her looks? How did it turn out?

Yes, I talked to her for about three years in total and this is the story.

We started out talking through mutual friends and eventually it went from just hanging out once with a group of people Snapchatting everyday to talking on the phone and then hanging out in person.

I didn't even realize it while it was all happening because it just felt so right but over the course of about 9 to 12 months somewhere along the way I ended up falling for this girl extremely hard. (Which is really weird because I never would have imagined myself with or even being attracted to her)  Things between us flowed really well and I genuinely loved her heart and the kind person she was. A lot happened over the three years but she ended up making a couple decisions that really ruined things and at times it was really hard to be perfectly in sync in terms of relationship and what we both wanted

I do not hold anything against her but I still think about her and It has been about a year since I mentally and physically started separating myself from her. A part of me thinks back and wonders what could have been but I try not to ponder on the past as much as looking forward to the future. 

I wanna ask you good people of Reddit, Has anything similar happened to you personally and how is everything now in your life?
