- One and a half years. More or less. We were sort-of friends, then
- friends, then romantic. He liked me for about 6 months before I liked
- him; I was ditzoid over someone else at the time, and _he_ liked my best
- friend. She, on the other hand, was seriously dating _another_ guy, whom
- she later married. It was one of the wackier chains I've ever been part
- of. Did I mention that there was a woman who liked my SO at that point,
- too, while he liked me?
-
- Woman A liked man #1 (my current SO).
- Man #1 liked me.
- I liked Man #2.
- Man #2 liked woman B.
- Woman B liked man #3 (and later married him.
-
- Yeah, I think timing is important.
