And then she met this guy...

Why is it that when you are telling a story with that line in it, "And then she met this guy" or even "And then he met this girl" that the story always goes downhill?

"And then she met this guy" and she changed, totally lost herself and her friends, became completely absorbed in him, stopped caring about her interests, lost sight of reality....the list goes on. We've all been there when a friend has done this. 

Why can't the story be...."and then she met this guy" and she became even more awesome. He supported her dreams, brought out the best in her, challenged her to become a better person, encouraged her interests and appreciates her friends, allows her space to be who she is and now she is even more fun to be around because she appreciates herself and the world.

Why don't more stories end like that? Clearly, I'm not over it. My story is the former one, and she's marrying him next weekend. I miss her.
