How I met my boyfriend...
I love to hear about how people fall in love. Not for the romance but for the story. There might be those who are like me, who just like to hear about other people and the lives they lead. And so, I want to share my “love story”
In my grade 12 year (senior year), my high school was putting on a production of the “Addams Family Musical”. At the time, I was already an established goth and my hair was (dyed) black and down to my waist- I definitely fit the profile for Morticia. Now, I was not a person who liked to sing in front of others. It was just something I had never been interested in. But, being the goth that I am, how could I pass up the opportunity to play Morticia Addams? So I put all discomfort aside and auditioned.
I attended both of the auditions that happened, and I’m glad I did! For the second audition, there was this guy that I had never met before. I grew up in a small town, so I pretty much knew everyone in the school. But this kid was new. And he did a PERFECT Gomez impression. It was at that moment that I realized I had to play Morticia. So, I did everything I could to get the part... and I did! At this point I had a *slight* affection for this new kid and we were to play husband and wife.
Now, he was a shy person at the start- and I’m naturally a “outgoing” person. So I decided to make it my goal to make him very comfortable with me! From November on, I was not-so-subtly flirting with him (he was oblivious to this). Even before we started dating, I made it clear to everyone that I wanted him. Now, I may be short, but I can make anyone fear me. So, I did :)
March rolls around, and he finally asks me out! He didn’t even get to finish the speech he had prepared, I just said yes to being his girlfriend. He was definitely surprised by that! Turns out, I was the first girlfriend he had ever had, and he was the first serious boyfriend that I had ever had. And here we are, 2 years later, and we still are very much in love!
To whomever may read this, I hope you enjoyed it!
Sincerely,
Your friendly neighborhood goth chick
