I'd have to say that my Valentine's Day was downright peachy.
I met this girl a few years ago. At first, I'll admit that she didn't really stand out to me. I figured I'd seen her type before, and while I did think she was pretty, I just didn't think much beyond that. But let me tell ya, after getting to know her even a little, I realized that she was much more than I'd given her credit for. I can barely even describe her. She just defies any black and white label, and I mean it in the best of ways.
So a few months pass, and by this time, I've completely fallen for her. But of course, how could things be simple? The problem was, I knew her through a friend of mine. And while the two of them weren't together by any means, she'd been taken in by his family, and I felt that it would be inconsiderate to pursue anything with her before at least talking to him about it.
The conversation didn't go well. I told my friend how I felt about her, and in return, he said some things that are probably much too vulgar for this sub. If I'm being honest, his reaction was about what I'd expected, but it was still disheartening for a lot of reasons. I lost touch with him and her for a couple of weeks. It might not seem like long, but when you're living down something like that, time just seems so much more impacting.
After that week I got a call. It was my friend, saying that he didn't understand why I was interested in her, but that she seemed to like me well enough, and that I was a decent enough guy. I went over, and we all took the time to sort things out. I don't think it was easy for any of us. But even 'til this day, he and I are still good friends, I have his blessing, and she and I couldn't be happier spending today together.
So yeah, that's the story of how I ended up spending Valentine's Day with a horse. That was actually a lot longer than I intended, sorry about that. I just felt like getting everything out there. I'm also sorry to hear that you got stood up. If you'd like to get the story out of your system, I'm all ears.
