My fiance and I have gone to school together since middle school. I thought he was such a nerd - all I knew about him for years was that he knew how to build a nuclear bomb and that he had a lot of porn. And he wore denim shorts EVERY DAY - even in January. Really, I was pretty horrified and just kind of avoided him. We finally began to talk to each other during our senior year of high school, and I realized he was actually not scary. We wound up at the same university, and started dating dating freshman year. Now, four years later, we're still together
(And I'm very happy to say he no longer owns a single pair of denim shorts!
