(6,578 posts)My ex and I had broken up in January four years ago, but he still lived with me (we had moved to Arizona together, and he really had no place else to go, so I let him stay until he moved back to the south). We had both joined a gay softball team (in a gay league), and were helping with registration for our big tourney. After registration was over, we were looking at the t-shirts etc for sale. I noticed Alex browsing as well. I smiled at him, he smiled back. That was the end of it that night.
Two days later, we had been eliminated from the tourney. I noticed Alex was there cheering on a team (his team had been eliminated as well), and one of my teammates Jeff was talking to him. I questioned Jeff about Alex, and he introduced us. I got his number.
We dated on and off, but nothing serious until after my ex moved out. Within a year, we were a couple, and he moved in shortly after that.
