I ended up having a relationship with someone who I completely did not expect I would. She was a coworker and we would see each other and talk every week. At some point, I slowly got to know her and we started confiding secrets. I felt really comfortable being myself around her so I decided to ask her out. We parted ways when I had to leave for college.

I feel like most women expect relationships to just happen instantly nowadays. Sometimes I meet women and I can tell they really want me to ask them out. But I barely know them? Even if I find them cute, it takes so much effort just to get to know someone. Even if I'm attracted to someone and decide to ask them out right away, I end up disappointed because they end up just being normal girls like everyone else. But as I keep talking to them, I end up finding out that there IS something interesting about them that I would never have known unless I kept dating them. I don't know why it's not normal to just start out as friends first and THEN choose to date from there. In fact, many women seem to look down on that which is incredibly stupid.
