Joe was nothing more than an average kid with an average life; that is until his senior year when he met Jane.
Jane, a new transfer student, was anything but average. She had it all, great looks, great grades, and a great personality, she was perfect. So perfect, she would never even look twice at him, except as a friend that is.
One day, Jane broke up with her boyfriend, and was very upset about it. She came to Joe wanting to talk.

“Joe, I don’t understand why guys are all jerks. Every boyfriend I have ever had was a jerk!”

“You know, Jane, I can’t understand something.”

“What’s that?”

“I can’t understand, why you let guys treat you the way they do. If it was me, I would always treat you with respect. But someone like you never seems to appreciate a guy like me. Girls like you always set themselves up for heartache and trouble. They always choose the jerks and then come to the sweet, nice guy that actually cares about them for a cheer-up session. You can never see that all this time I have been here for you. I have been waiting for you to be happy. When it’s you and I, you always seem happy. But with the guys you date, you’re miserable! So what I can’t understand is why you do it. Why you put yourself through Hell, when you could be happy with me.”

“Joe, I never knew that you felt that way about me. And you’re right, when I’m with you, I am happy. I guess I just have never thought about an “us”.

“Jane, I know you just broke up with your boyfriend, but how about being my girlfriend. I can promise you that you will never be treated with anything but love and respect. I will treat you like a queen.”

“Yes, Joe. I want to be with you.”
That was 10 years ago, now. After three years of dating Joe asked Jane to marry him. Jane, of course, said yes. Then have been living now happily married. They are now expecting their second child. Neither could be happier.
