Woman Crush Wednesday: Alex Gillett edition.
Shout out to my last girlfriend I’ll ever have, Alex.
Our first date was a presidential primary debate and then @slabpizza
She asked me on our second date, where we frosted cookies. Ours were the most creative of the group, and I made one of them
hint, hint.

On our third date, I told her I was gay. We went to the chocolate in Orem and watched West Side Story at the Hale Theater. We held hands for the first time.
What followed turned into a beautiful relationship. We are so good for each other. Our intellect, humor, moods, diets, wanderlust, book addictions, politics, playfulness, spirituality, hobbies....they all matched up.
We just had one big problem: I’m gay. We weren’t matched up sexually.
Kudos to the therapist that we saw.
We broke up three times. The first time I broke up with her because I loved her enough to know she deserved to marry someone who was sexually attracted to her.

The second time she broke up with me because she loved me enough to know I would be miserable being married to a woman.

We broke up after a week because we both knew it couldn’t work.
Without Alex, I would still believe in sexual orientation conversion.
If I couldn’t be straight for her, then conversion was a lie.
She’s the last girlfriend I’ll ever have, praise God.

We went to Europe together and saw wonderful things.
One time we drove from San Diego to Washington, DC and stopped over in Missouri’s Mark Twain National Forest to watch the total eclipse of the sun.
We cried over inauthentic Amish food in the rain in Indiana. Terrible memory.

She is empathetic, passionate, creative, cuddly, intelligent, gracious, courageous, forgiving, tough, diligent, earnest, driven, flexible, bilingual, cosmopolitan, gentle, witty, exceptional, merciful, judicious, stylish, tactful, emotive, honest, curious, beautiful, and kind.
Alex and I were dating in November 2015, when my church decided to exclude children of LGBTQ+ saints from getting baptized.
We cried.
A lot.
She scraped me off of the floor and mopped the rest of me up.

She met my family that thanksgiving.
They still raise their eyebrows when we FaceTime.
She invented our own air conditioning in Venice, when our Airbnb host shamed us for asking to turn on the double split.
We watched and sang along to the Sound if Music in Salzburg.

She gave me space to cry at the Gloriette in Vienna.
We saw Imagine Dragons in Virginia, and Dan took his shirt off—turns out we’re sexually matched up after all.
We went to Taylor Swift’s Bad Reputation concert in Maryland (same day$35 tix!)

She gives good back rubs, advice, warning, admonition, energy, renewal, and time.
Right now we’re watching the Witcher simultaneously, but apart.
She’s the last girlfriend I’ll ever have, my forever friend, confidant, and playmate—the ultimate woman crush Wednesday.
