Everything I'm Looking For

It's almost been 3 years but I'm so happy that I can say I have a boyfriend! What?! Yeah...I seriously thought it would never happen.

I met Dann about a week before I went home for winter break at Michael and Kristen's housewarming. Dann is one of my cousin, Micahel's, really good friends.
Two weeks ago, we all went out for Michael's birthday and Dann was there. He seemed like such a nice guy (which I had also been told) and he's one of those people that usually has something to say so conversation is interesting. (Unlike this dude Kristen introduced me to ... SO unbelievably BORING.) Towards the end of the night he bought me a drink and we started to talk a little bit.  When we left I gave him a hug and told him it was nice to see him again. Stacy and I instantly decided that I should add him on facebook when I got home. So, when I got home I tried to find him but, to my disappointment, I couldn't. Not even 5 minutes later I received a friend request from Dann Russ! Hah Needless to say, I was pretty excited. He sent me a message almost as soon as I accepted and we chatted for an hour. We talked some more the following day and then decided that we should hang out. I went over to his house that Monday (which also happened to be The Hallmark Holiday) so we chilled and watched some pretty lame “scary” movies which definitely broke the ice. LOL I had a great time though. We hung out again that Wednesday and we've pretty much hung out every other day if not more since we started talking.

Last Friday we met one of his friends, Sarah, out at a bar. Later that night he told me that he wanted me to meet her for a reason...to sort of get her approval. I thought that was pretty cute and sort of thought that was happening as I was talking to her. He showed me a text she sent saying that she was glad we came out and that I was a sweetheart. He said, “See, that's what I always say.”

I really like him. He's super nice, sweet, fun, funny, respectful, and we have a ton in common. Basically the exact kind of guy that I've been looking for. (Yes, I just said one of the things I hate to see or hear other people say.) lol
He mentioned being his girlfriend last Friday but since it's been so long since that thought has even crossed my mind, I wasn't comfortable with it yet. Last night when we were on our way to return a movie we had rented the night before, he asked me if he had to wait til tomorrow (today, Friday) to get an answer. I told him no and that yes, of course I would.

I NEVER expected this to happen! But, so glad it did! I'm pretty happy right now. :D
