Life is good finally

[Andrea85]

I'm not sure if anyone paid attention when Melody and I mentioned her introducing me to another trans woman local to me. Well, Melody has been gettin onto me about posting this, so here it is. :)

Well, a couple weeks ago, Melody introduced me to Julie. I knew Melody from here and Julie knew her from Facebook. Really sweet woman, and she and I had a lot in common. We talked on the phone for a couple days, and I thought we would make some really good friends in that short time.

Then we met last Friday (Oct. 21). I went to her house on the total opposite side of Knoxville, and met her and 2 of her room mates. Everyone there was awesome and really nice. Here is the first pic of us, before either of us knew something would actually happen.

That night, we hung out and drank Corona for a couple hours. Really got to know each other and stuff. I parked in the driveway, so when her bf called and said he was on the way home, she and I moved my car to the guest parking. Yeah, I know, not good to drink half a case of Corona and drive. :P
Well, got the car parked, and we sat there talking, smoking, and listening to music. She asked me if I was into girls at all. I said no since I really wasn't, and since I had a bf too. Then, out of nowhere, she leaned over and kissed me with a long, passionate kiss. :heehee: At first it caught me off guard, but I didn't stop it since it just felt so right. :daydreaming: I mean hey, how could I since she is just so freakin' hot and we were so alike? :)

After that, we went in and just kept talking and kissing and drinking most of the night. I remember telling her that I wanted to be with her forever, and Julie kept asking if I was sure and if I would feel the same way sober. I may be a lightweight when I drink now (pretty much sober now for 5 years), but I remember what I say and do when I drink. Long story short about our meeting that night, she wanted to be with me too, and lots of making out with a little fondling in there, lol.

That night, well morning since we didn't stop drinking till 7 am, lol, we curled up on the couch together. Next thing I know it's morning and I was alone on the couch. :sad: We spent the rest of the day together, which was tough with her bf home for the weekend. I left out that night, and spent Sunday at home. We did text all day though. Neither of us can figure out why we didn't spend Sunday together too.

Well, so this isn't too long and boring, she and I spent every day together except Sunday for a whole week. She broke up with her guy to be with me. She did that with me next to her and that had me freaked the hell out. Not a situation I'd ever been in, but it showed me how she felt for me. IIRC, that was the day she told me she loved me. I told Melody the night before I loved Julie, but even after she told me, I was too chicken to say it back, lol. I eventually did of course. We officially started dating that day too.

We haven't been together long, but she and I have already been through some rough stuff that woulda broken most couples up. Mostly issues since she still has to live with her now ex-bf. But, after last night when he spoke his peace to her, then both of us, things are goin to get much better now. I'm in the process of looking for work, so she and I can get a place to live together and so she can be away from him. I'm an extremely jealous person, so yeah, her being there won't work for much longer. So far, she has spent the night with me for 2 nights, and things get better daily. We can't be away from each other too long we're so in love. BTW, here's a pic of us now that we're together and in love.

Julie should be on here soon enough to comment hopefully. I'm hoping I got all that right. But lastly, I gotta say once again, thank you Melody, for introducing me to my soul mate. :yahoo:


I love you Julie!

ROTFLPMSL, yeah go on blame it all on me.

Yes it is true I did introduce these two lovely ladies. As Andrea mentioned, I met her through this forum and have been friends
on facebook for over a year. As many people would know Andrea hasn't had much luck with relationships in the past year and
has had a few different partners that haven't worked out for whatever reason. I really felt Andrea needed a friend more than
anything else. About a month or so ago I joined a new transgender network on Facebook and that was where I met Julie who
also happened to also be from Knoxville. I asked her Julie she knew Andrea and I was surprised to find out that she didn't, But
as Andrea said they lived on the opposite sides of the town.

Just looking at their photos and reading their profiles I was like "Wow these two really do have a lot in common with each other",
and I just assumed that they would most likely make good friends. I never expected with of them to fall in love with each other
especially since Andrea was already dating a guy who I already felt had some commitment issues, and because Julie was already
in a relationship. However since these two have met they have been inseparable and Julie told her former boyfriend last Monday
that it was over between them and that she loved Andrea. Julie told me that Andrea already fulfils at least 80% of her needs
whereas the ex boyfriend only fulfilled 20% of her needs, so there is no comparison for how deep their love for each other is.

Since these two met each other I have spent time helping them to overcome some huge obstacles so they could be together and
have spent several hours on the phone from Australia to the USA talking to both of these girls to make sure they were both happy
and that this was what they wanted because of the complications their relationship was going to present for itself. I have no doubts
how committed Julie is to Andrea, but as Andrea points out, she is easily made jealous and isn't comfortable with Julie still living
with her ex-boyfriend so that is now present a who lot of new issues for Andrea to have to deal with. This is also why I wanted
Andrea to post her story here and gather some feedback from others about her insecurities with Julie.

As Andrea said it has been rough, Julie's ex-boyfriend is heart-broken although he was forewarned this was coming
and then Julie told him outright she was in love with Andrea and that their relationship was over last Monday. Despite
this he was still trying to kiss Julie and touch her which made Andrea feel extremely uncomfortable and unsure. Julie
was trying to reject her ex boyfriend but he was persistent and made Julie feel very stressed out. When I spoke to
Julie, she told me that her ex-boyfriend was a crossdresser and this was something she really didn't like about him.
She felt he was hiding behind this female alter-ego which felt so fake to her instead of being the real him. She finds
Andrea to be very open, honest, down to earth & true to herself which is what she really loves the most about Andrea.

Anyway, Andrea has been a bit worried since the ex-boyfriend has decided to still let Julie to live there & allow Andrea to visit
whenever she wants. She thinks the ex-boyfriend is up to "no good" but I tried to tell Andrea that maybe he just realises there
is no sense in acting like a jerk about everything and doesn't see any need to kick her out. Andrea is worried that isn't normal.
I told Andrea, not all relationships have to end with two people hating each other and there was no problem really with them still
being unless he tries to force himself on Julie.

Anyway, just to look at their photos together, I have never seen Andrea this happy and contented in a photo ever.
So to me it is really obvious these two are perfect soul-mates, they have been inseparable since they met each
other, I have no doubts that their love is extremely strong and it is very mutual and flows on a two way street.

Andrea has been driving me nuts with her insecurity and jealously issues, however I have spoke to Julie and have
her assurances that she wants to be with Andrea more than anything else in the world. I have been trying to tell
Andrea to relax, sit back and enjoy the ride and to just be patient and to work on how they can get go live together
because this is what they now want. Andrea currently has no income and lives with her parents, so she knows that
she has to find a job now so they can afford to get their own place together.

So I would really like to hear other people's feedback and suggestions now to help Andrea get over some of her other hurdles.

Anyway Andrea, I am soooo happy for you and as far as I am concerned you deserved to meet someone really wonderful
instead of all the other jerks that you have done in the past in your life, but I really hope that you can learn to let go of
the baggage you have from past relationships and give this new relationship every bit of a chance to survive. I get a bit
concerned that your own insecurities could get in the way and destroy a really great relationship. I just wish you could
sit back and relax and just enjoy the ride. I am sure you have many more wonderful experiences to share together, this
is just the beginning.
