My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 and a half years.. We met when I was 18 and he was 19, in class.. I introduced myself (which is really rare, I'm usually super shy) and we just started sitting together all the time, and then he finally asked me out about 3 months later.

We're alike in a lot of ways, and very different in others. We have a lot of the same priorities in life, which I think is really important. We're both total goofballs at times, which keeps things fun. I'm a lot more short-tempered though, he's a lot more level-headed and patient. He keeps me grounded. He's a lot neater, and I'm a slob that spreads my stuff out everywhere. I'm a lot more athletic than he is, but he still jogs when he has time. I'm hoping he'll get more into cycling later! Right now things are kind of at a weird point, we're both still in university and still figuring out who we want to be.. But so far it's working out really well. We moved in together this past September, and it's been fabulous so far.

It's great to see that there are some couples out there who met around the same age me and my boyfriend met! I like to think that this is the man I'll spend the rest of my life with, but sometimes it seems pretty unlikely.
