How I did it: Who knows how I "did" it? It just happened, and I definitely wasn't looking for it at the time. I had just ended a 2-year long, passionate, drama-filled relationship that completely shattered me (which followed immediately after a 6-year, extremely comfortable relationship which was more a friendship than anything). After 8 years of solid relationships, I was ready to flee. I had finished up my job, sold everything in my house, gave away my cat, and was literally about to flee the country for good when, at my going away party, I had a "moment" with a friend of a friend (a moment which went on all night!) and somehow my world was turned upside down by this kiss, and we've been inseparable ever since.

He is everything I ever wanted in a man, and exactly why I could no longer be with my ex - while our love was intense, passionate, with it came the drama, and being my complete opposite, it just wasn't ever going to work unless I continued being a doormat. Everything I wanted in my ex that he would never be, my new man is exactly it. I cannot believe my good luck, I feel completely undeserving.

While we both bring a lot of emotional baggage to this relationship, he is my complete equal. Trust me when I say, it can happen, and it will happen when you get yourself into a good emotional place where you feel good sharing your company with yourself. When you're not looking for it, it will come!
