Contacting a girl I once hit it off with but did nothing about it.

I met this girl named Karli Royko at Lifetime Fitness over 2 years ago. She worked there and I was actually working on a promotional video. We talked for over 2 hours that day. I left that day with her number. We texted and talked on the phone for a couple of days then I got the guts to ask her out on a date. I took her up north of Colorado Springs on one of my favorite trails in my Jeep, we had lunch, I showed her how to shoot a gun as we shot targets. Plus she fell in love with my dogs. We clicked so well and definitely cared for each other especially with just meeting.

She then dropped a bombshell on me. She was moving back to Houston, Texas a week later and really wanted to be with me though. We talked, Skyped and texted on and off since. When we talked it would be like we never missed a beat. She came to Minneapolis for 4 days this last summer and really wanted to see me. I was in a very rough relationship and working construction at the time. I was taking down a two-story deck by myself and it actually collapsed on me, knocking me out, I came to in an ambulance and was out of commission for the whole time she was in Minneapolis.

I just recently broke up with my girlfriend and she moved out of the house because we were living together. Thinking of this assignment I decided to text and ask her if she’d be my Valentine. She responded with how are you going to do that. I said I would fly down there. Her response was, “It is about time, Reno. Yes come see me.” So I bought a ticket spontaneously down there and we have been talking since. I’m excited to see where this goes.
