My girlfriend (22) and I (F23) have been friends since I was eighteen and moved to the U.S. when she was my neighbor. It’s been almost six years since our friendship, and I’ve been into her for quite a while.

We’ve only been on a few dates, but since we’ve been long-time friends, I trust that this relationship will last. By May or June, we’ll have dated for about 3-4 months (but like I said, I’ve known her for far longer). I’ll be 24 by then, and hopefully she’ll be my fiancée.

Before then, I’m staying at her house for a while to see what it’s like before I move in.
