I dated my wife for 12 years before we got married officially, I met my wife when I was in secondary school, we started as school friends as a brilliant student girls normally come around me, some use to bring their assignment for me to help them with it and I was attending to so many of them, because of that my class mates changed my name to king Solomon and women always like staying close to intelligent men. While some men will take it as advantage to flirt around with the girls, normally any boy that's always stays with girls every time is taken to be a flirt but my case was different.
In my SSS1 class (that is Senior Secondary school one) I met a certain girl of my class she was slim, dark skin, average height and beautiful, her name was Anna. Anna was a beautiful girl she was very social and very friendly to everyone she came from a rich family her was a Principal in another school. She always come close to me but I was feeling shirle to shoot my shot, as a matter of fact she was one of the most beautiful girl in our school that year, she has once won a beauty contest hosted in our school that year.
I use to help her with her assignment, and I always have this feeling of love anytime she comes close to me and known to me that she also feel the same. When my friend noticed that I was beginning to like Anna and knowing that I am not the type that like going after women he then went and talked to her on my behalf without my consent I was angry with him but then I was at the same time happy.
One day as I was sitting under a Mango tree reading, I like reading under that Mango tree because it's always cool and there's this cool breeze that I use to enjoy there and anytime I'm not in the classroom I will go and stay there to read my books. As I was reading my book Anna approached me and said...
"I received your message from your friend Joshua"
Joshua is my best friend anything that borders me boarders him also, I was shocked by that statement I pursed for like 60 second's before replying her...
"What message are you talking about"?
She said I thought you sent your friend to come and talk to me about your feelings for me? I replied her immediately no I didn't is true that I like you but I never sent anyone to talk you on my behalf" and she was like being ashamed and left with anger, I didn't know what to do she's angry and I was afraid to go after her. After school that very day I tried talking to her and told her how I feel about her that I wanted us be in a relationship but she rejected my proposal not knowing that she was just pretending that she really has feelings for me.
I knew it was a yes because I didn't see any seriousness in her the no she said because she said the no with a smile and ran away.
The next day in the classroom I saw an empty stool and I took it sat on it not knowing that the stool belongs to Anna but my friend Joshua knows, as entered the classroom and so that I was sitting on her stool she said
"That's mine" would you stand please"
I told her to come sit on my laps thinking that she be shirle and said no to my very surprise she came and sat on my laps even when our classmates was shouting and clapping she didn't even bother and I didn't bother also from that moment our relationship started.
Even our school teachers new about us, one of our teachers told us that secondary school relationship don't lead to marriage but we proved him wrong because we got married after dating for 12 years and we are blessed with child.
