GTKY: H and me
I am Sam, H is Ted. I just turned 31 earlier this month, Ted is
33. We grew up in the same town and went to the same high school in
the Southwest suburbs of Chicago. We have a ton of friends in
common, but somehow we never met. I moved away from my hometown
halfway though my junior year of high school and didn't move back
until after college. We met through one of those mutual friends in
the summer of 2006 over drinks one night to celebrate my moving back.
Neither one of us was looking for a relationship, and to be quite
honest, we wanted nothing to do with each other. In December of that
year, my friends and I went to go see a band play and I invited
everyone I knew. Ted came along with a group of those friends.
After a few (OK way, way) too many Miller Lites, and singing
along to “Jesse's Girl” Ted asked me on a date the following
week. He missed his train on said date, so he had to spend the night
on the couch in my apartment. Instead of getting up early to catch a
commuter train, we spent the morning nursing hangovers and have been
together ever since. One missed train and approximately one billion
singalongs later, here we are.
We've been through a lot in the last 8 years. Had it not been for us being “forced” to spend time with each other because of our close mutual friend, we never would've found each other. I'm sure of that. We're quite the unlikely pair. We're lucky we had “Jesse's Girl” because all we really have in common is our taste in music. But, we compliment each other nicely and we provide each other balance in ways that wouldn't be possible if we were more alike. We have our difficulties finding compromise sometimes, since we generally want exact opposite things, but we have found a way to navigate our differences in a way that works for us (most of the time).
