My ex-girlfriend had a bit of a tragic past, and as a result we never had sex, and she couldn't even bring herself to look at my stuff. We dated 2 and a half years, and though I loved her, she dumped me when she moved for Uni, citing first the distance (between YORK AND NEWCASTLE), and then when I asked again having proven the distance to be as long time-wise as the distance between our houses when I cycled, she said because we had arguments (we never argued). That pissed me off and hurt the most, because having broken up with me, she tried to get me back, and then when I simply facebook messaged her one day saying I had reconsidered her proposal to get back together, she blew her top off saying I was ruining her life... Weird... So I suspect the reason was mainly to go shag other dudes

, but hey ho.
Once this realisation set in, I was of course, very depressed. So I typed "happier" into my iphone. Up pops this app, so I download it without looking at what it might be. When I signed up and had a look, it was like facebook, only random strangers posting thoughts that made them happy, to keep their outlook positive. It really helped with the pain. A few months later, having built up a weird cult like following, a young lass starts a conversation... The profile pics are tiny, so I wasn't really sure what she looked like, other than that she was blonde, and what I weirdly found was that I didn't care. On this app, I just liked being happy, and talking to her made me happy (literally the only girl ever to make me intentionally laugh repeatadly... sorry female comediennes). So I asked her if we could talk on other forms of social media. I asked her out one day later, over twitter. Still not having seen her face. I told her, "you might be a 60 year old man, pissing about pretending to be a young lady, but I still think you're cool, I'm coming to meet you". I asked her out with my next sentence and booked tickets to CANADA.
It took two weeks before I even had the courage to skype her, to see if she was attractive. All I knew was that I loved them, loved talking to them, loved laughing with them, and had a return ticket to Canada to see what was most likely a catfish, but at least someone funny enough to be worth such a trip. Then she suggested we skype. Holy Thor's Hammer. She was the most gorgeous girl I'd ever seen.
We've been dating 5 months now, 4 months of which we've been engaged. I visited and fell in love with her even more, and she even came over to ****ty Newcastle!
It's funny how life works out. I promise you, no matter what your pain, there's always better things to come.
