He was outspoken and did not fear anyone. These were the qualities that drew me towards him. I thought he was my knight in shining armour. He would love me to death and protect me from all the evil forces in the world. My friends advised me to stay away from him and I knew that my parents would never approve of him. I did not pay heed to any advice or warning as I was sure that this is the guy I am destined to spend my life with. If you think that it was easy to woo him, you are wrong.
