Steve was the mate of my manager (pub landlord) and he would hang out at the pub and give us (bar staff and me (chef)) a lift home after work.
He was my shoulder to cry on while I was splitting with my violent ex and he was (still is) my health forum partner while I went out with a few other lads.
3 months after we met I decided I really fancied him and was gonna get him into bed. 6months later and everyone else had realised I was flirting with him and stuff except him so I sat him down and told him I really liked him (on the phone). He answered yeah I like you too - "no no I said not like as in like like but like as in you know.". 3 months later he finally stayed the night, was nearly 6 months after that that we finally did the dirty deed.
3 years on and we are still together - i'm sure i'm still here cuz he made me wait and wait and wait rather than just jumping into bed like other guys would (i got bored quick, but even now I still have to do the chasing lol).
I'll admit I was a bit of a tart before steve so he's been really good for me.
The longest any other guy was in my life has been a few months.
