>Meeting my now husband a more than a decade ago during Fanime 2009

While I was a shockingly immature and impulsive little shit things ended up being pretty much perfect timing for both of us meeting. He at the time had come all the way from Texas to meet up with his friend he hadn't seen in years. We had hung out for hours and apparently his friends had bailed on him and went back to their hotel. He was like "guess I'll just sleep on the convention floor" .
I don't know why I thought this was a good idea and in hindsight it was dangerous but I was like "absolutely not you're coming to my room and I won't take no for an answer ".
Well I had him staying with me and my friend I had come to the convention with and well she didn't like having a man in the room and was like I'll sleep in the tub.
I was like how weird why would she have a problem with him? In Hindsight I understand I was very inexperienced and kind of a prude myself but I had never made the connection that he was interested in me until he ended up confessing later . I was like well I will go on a date with you but I don't want to commit just yet if I don't love you. Well we had a lovely dinner at the Marriott and walked and talked so much. Him about his job and friends and me about my overbearing mother and how this was my first real experience of freedom from her presence.My most prominent memory of that con was staying up on the last day to watch the sunrise together from the top floor of the Fairmont being sad because I wasn't sure if he was going to actually call me or not and I was wasting my time. Honestly it shocked me that the first 2 months that we ended up talking we had shared so much intimacy without sex without even talking about anime. 11 years together now and it's still fresh in my mind. In a way I know my story is pretty unique in that it was a con relationship that worked out . Also me not getting hurt in the end like a whole Anna wanting to marry a man she just met scenario
