Did anyone or someone you know end up with someone they've always known but didn't consider a relationship with?
I ran into a girl from college and when she told me who her husband was I was shocked because it was someone we've always known but they never showed a romantic interest in each other. So it was weird to hear they got married. She said she was always attracted to him but she knew he was a nice guy and didn't want to get involved with him until she matured. Five years later they run into each other and are married in 6 months. I thought it was a cute little love story.
Yes, my husband and I met as freshmen in high school. I liked him and we dated a couple times, but he changed schools after two years, and I started going out with another guy. He moved away and joined the army reserves. He called me from time to time, and I'd see him when he came home to visit his family. I dated the other guy (the boyfriend) for several years, but when we broke up, I called my old friend from high school. I always thought of him fondly, and he had told me to call him if I was ever single again. I found his parents' phone number in one of my yearbooks and tracked him down. He had moved back to California and was living about an hour from me. I called him, nervous because we hadn't spoken in a couple years, and ended up leaving him a voice mail that started with, "I don't know if you remember me ..." He called back and said, "Of course I remember you. I've loved you since we were 14." How could I not marry him?
Well, I dated this really sweet guy in college, but our lives were going in completely different directions (and countries). He was graduating a year ahead of me and moving to NY and I planned on moving to England when I graduated so we broke up because I didn't see us staying together through all that. We stayed friends over the next few and eventually, I realized I still had feelings for him and he still had feelings for me, so we started dating again and are now planning to get married.
Apparently I was the only person who didn't think we'd end up together because when I told my friends we'd reunited, I found out they had a betting pool on how long it would take for me to come to my senses and get back together with him. I'm glad we took that break though, because I needed to date a few less than perfect guys to see how wonderful he is. I don't take him for granted the way I did when we first started dating.
Yeah, it's great to know that my friends were gambling with my love life. I am slightly curious to know if anyone had a bet for us not getting back together at all, but it would taint the friendship so it's probably best that I don't know. My best friend had us at two years, but I thwarted her by extending my visa in England for another year. If I hadn't done that, we probably would have gotten together earlier.

Yeah, he's pretty great. I'm going to go home and love on him.
