We first met when we were 13 and he was the 'new boy' in year 8 at high school... he was small, ginger and very cheeky. He asked me out back then and I refused (because a guy shorter than me makes me feel nervous, he was like 4ft5 and I was 5ft7) but he was very persistant. We left school and lost contact for a few years.
Then when I was 19 I found out I had DVT and was on the way to hospital when I bumped into him and he gave me his number.. we kept in touch via text until beginning of 2007 (3 years later) he got drunk and told me how he felt via text but I had a boyfriend. STILL didn't give up, when my dad died in March 2007 he was there for me, even sent me jokes to check I was okay and to make me smile..
My boyfriend didnt care, called me a drama queen and miserable cow when I cried over the loss of my dad so I finished him and realised Simon was the only one who had supported, cared and was there for me through everything, so when he found out I had broken up with my ex he asked me out again and I said Yes.
Been together a year and 3 months now, and been engaged for about a month.
He waited 10 years for me..and I am glad he did!
He's also only half an inch shorter than me now! :o
