Cupid’s Corner: From friendship to forever

We met through a mutual friend through college, I liked him from the very beginning, but he didn’t notice. He was funny, kind and I was a very shy person, He also had a crush on another girl. She was not interested but liked the attention. We would hang out with mutual friends. I didn’t talk much but he always knew how to get me to laugh. Eventually he made me comfortable talking more, I wanted him to think of me more than a friend, I would come over just to talk to him about anything and everything, his parents loved me instantly.
