A year ago today, I sat on a couch next to this really awesome guy as the sun began to rise. He turned to me and asked a bunch of questions about relationships, to which I gave a bunch of stupid and awkward answers. I’m so glad that didn’t stop him, because his final question was this: “Will you be my girlfriend.” I replied, “Sure.”
Thankfully, he was totally cool with that dumb answer, and he’s still totally cool with all the dumb answers I continue to give.
