i hung out with a very dear, old friend recently. we had this conversation.

me: bla bla bla

he: bla bla bla

me: how do you know she's the one?

he: it's very simple. i'm happy when i'm with her. she makes me happy.

me: how was it right at the start? when you met, was it awkward?

he: with encounters like yours and mine, it's always gonna be awkward at the start.
