My name is Esther Kim and my Fiancee’s name is Jae Lee. We’ve been dating for 7 years and we finally got engaged on 10.25.2009. We met when I was in high school but didn’t start dating until my freshman year of college. I didn’t know but apparently he had liked me for a really long time. I thought he was just being really nice to me. Yes, I am that clueless. So he finally asked me out and I had rejected him at first because I didn’t want to ruin the “friendship” that we had. My freshman year roommate had to convince me to give him a chance. So I did. We started dating, and he was so happy to just be dating me. I, however, didn’t start to have feelings for him for almost 3 months…I know. Shame on me.
We’ve had our ups and downs for 7 years, but never considered dating anyone else and talked to each other every night before going to bed (even when we were on “breaks”). After 4 years of dating, I finally decided I couldn’t be with anyone else and started to wait for a ring. Oh how the tables have turned. So patiently for 3 years I waited for a ring. I have even not so subtly hinted that I wanted a ring by waving pictures of exactly what I wanted in his face.
