Truth be told, when I first met you, I never had the best first impression of you. Never had the best second or third impression either. Used to think you seemed stuck-up, or ignorant. And as a quiet boy who was still relatively shy and socially inexperienced at the time, I used to think that you were the kind of person who I could never, ever get on with – not in a million years.

Over the past four months I’ve realized that I was so very, very wrong. More wrong than I’ve ever been. And I couldn’t be more thankful for that.

The truth is, you are one of the most kind and selfless people I have ever met. You are far from ignorant; you are caring and loving. You are independent, and you are strong of heart and mind. You are hilarious, and at times you probably don’t even realize it.
I personally disagree that it isn't "optimistic," as you label it.
I think I was suggesting to make it MORE optimistic. Still, it carries judgmental statements. Maybe it's ok sense it's not currently how you see her. But, it's one thing to say I'm shy and thought you were out of my league (which is another can of worms) yet another to say stuff like "you give off a bad first impression" - can't you see those statements (even in context) as put downs. I don't think it's truer either. She didn't give you bad first impressions, you were having you own judgements or insecurities, perhaps.
