“I wish I’d taken us more seriously”
Stefan Tomlin, 26, is a model from London
I spotted a stunning blonde at college one day, and was instantly into her. This girl always seemed to walk past me, and I wanted to know her. I was too nervous to just walk up to her, so I did some digging, found out her name and added her on Bebo.
After our date at TGIs I went in for the kill – we kissed and that was us together. It was like we’d known each other for years. She lived down the road from our college so I’d go round pretty much every evening. I’d always end up having to run for the last train home, because I’d leave her house at the last possible moment.
I was too young to realise what I had with Katy, so she ended it because I never made enough effort. I wish I’d taken us more seriously. We saw each other occasionally after the break-up until she got fed up and got a new boyfriend. She deleted me on social media so I used to make my friends give me updates.
My mum loved her. She still does. Whenever I bring a new girlfriend round she always compares her to Katy. When I first saw her again I thought she looked so beautiful. She has a more edgy style now. At dinner we reminisced about the past, and I started to fancy her again. We had a really sweet moment when she told me she still had a charm bracelet I got her for her birthday.
By the time our main courses arrived I was thinking about us getting back together. I made her sit next to me and went in for the kiss. We were kissing all night after that.
