Met during one of my trips to DR in '09. At the time, I wasn't looking for a relationship. He declared his feelings for me about two weeks before I came back to the US. I'm glad he did first because I was starting to have feelings for him, but wasn't planning on telling him lol. I can't lie, I was scared to be in a long distance relationship so my response to him was "you're crazy, how are we going to get through this?' He answered, "Don't worry, if there's love we can get through anything", and he was right. We have been together ever since and I couldn't be any happier. He is truly the love of my life!!
