Easy. I was 18 and a freshman at college. He was the son of one of my professors and on the "10 Year Plan" as we called it, meandering around because he went for free. He was 23, in my big brother sorority, and friends with my TKE big brother...like Best Friends. We started dating-ish, then things sort of got serious over winter break. He called and talked to my mom on the phone, met my dad during the move home for the break, etc. It even snowed where he lived on campus but not at my house so he sent me some snow in a bottle (water) as a gift. It was intense. Then after we moved back in we came up on Valentines Day. He came to our sorority VDay day party at the bar, then had to "take care of some things out of town" but would be back to take me out for our own celebration on Monday. That night while I was sleeping he slipped a card under my door that said "I cant wait to see you, but unfortunately I need this medical leave because I have fallen for you and cant get up". Funny and sweet. On Sunday I called him and left him a VM that I was falling for him and couldnt wait for him to get back. Monday I see his car in the lot but he is nowhere to be found. After some asking around I found out that he had gone to NC to propose to his ex-girlfriend (who also happened to be an alumni of my college AND sorority) and had stopped in on a TKE meeting to share the news. They were out celebrating with his parents. He never brought it up again.
