I'm a sucker for love stories

Love stories are thoroughly entertaining. Though I am quite impartial to Zuko and Mai as the greatest love story ever told*, I must concede that this story was ridiculously adorable. I couldn't stop laughing, especially since I have been one of those friends who takes the picture to commemorate such a meeting. 

“I first met her in church last October. I wanted to talk to her for months but I was too nervous. I’d never gone on a date or had a girlfriend before. All my friends kept helping me think of strategies to ask her out. But I kept saying that I’d do it later. I kept saying that I was too busy with college applications to have a girlfriend. But really I was just too scared. After my applications were finished, I ran out of excuses. So I asked her to sit next to me in church. When the service was over, I walked her to the door and asked her out. My friends were all watching and they snapped this picture. I was crossing my arms because I was so nervous. I’d never had a conversation with a girl for that long.” 

*I love the animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Whoever reads this post and does not know of this American treasure, I command you to go watch it. And for the love of Appa, do NOT watch the live action movie released a few years ago.
