when you meet someone,
you may not find them
attractive, but maybe they
will grow on you. That's
what happened to this couple.
"I asked him if he would
ever date me and he said
no, not really," said Jamie
Taylor, 20, an elementary
education major at
Kutztown. Some may know
her, since she lives around
the Levittown area.
"The first time I saw Michael
he had blue hair and I thought
he was geeky-looking. I wanted
[to date] the preppy guy who
wore Hollister," said Jamie.
Mike Irwin, 22, a social
work major at Kutztown;
had a roommate who was
trying to get the two together.
Constantly saying they
looked cute together.
After his roommate put a
note under Jamie's door
saying 'Jamie come over,'
she started hanging out with
them. Eventually Mike and Jamie began
to get closer.
"We saw each other
every day," said Jamie.
Since this was Mike's
first girlfriend, Jamie asked
him out.
"I asked him 'Do you
want to give it a try' and
Michael agreed," said
Jamie. That was October
20, 2009.
Some guys are too shy
when asking a girl out.
Here's a tip guys: If you
like her and you know she
likes you, make the first
move.
Jamie and Mike's relationship
was pretty serious
in the beginning. They
quickly became comfortable
with each other. That's a
rarity with some couples
and it may take others a
while.
"My relationship started
fast. For a guy that never
had a girlfriend, he was
pulling all the moves, it
wasn't me," said Jamie.
The special thing about
Mike and Jamie is they're
both Christians. "We try to go by the
Bible which most couples
don't do," said Jamie.
Some people may think
they fell in love too quickly,
but if you care for someone
that much, it's possible.
"I think I fell in love
with him within three
months, it was early. I didn't
want to say it first. I
would just say 'I really,
really like you'," said Jamie.
One day when they were
laying down,
Miked looked at Jamie and said
"I love you."
"I was estatic and happy when
he said it," said Jamie.
Now the cute thing about
them is it's their first relationship.
Sometimes people
get lucky and have great
firsts.
