For 9 months I abstained from romantic relationships.

It’s a choice I made after stepping out of my longest romantic relationship (over 3 years) and my most committed (we were engaged).

Our relationship in many ways had been a fairytale. I first saw her across a dance floor and was drawn to her immediately.

We were friends for a while. My crush was apparent to both of us. Her attraction took more time to develop.

We had an intense first date in a far off city. That left both of us wondering if this thing was going to happen. After all, we lived across the country from one another.

And then I showed up on her doorstep with flowers two days later. Saying I was moving to her city if she’d have me.

She said yes and the fairy tale began.
