Because  Kelly and  Miranda Gilbert, who was Elena's adoptive mother, were best friends since high school, Matt knew  Elenasince infancy, occasionally sharing a crib. They grew up together, being really close childhood friends, and began dating in their teenage years feeling they owed it to themselves to try.

Matt still hoped they could be together, but it was not likely to happen due to Elena's instant connection to the new student,  Stefan Salvatore. It's something he might still mourn about.

Personality
Matt is everyone's definition of the "everyday man". Out of the characters, he is the most "normal"; he does not possess any supernatural attribute, nor any supernatural artifact that makes him stand out of the rest of humanity and he wants it to stay that way (at least until he was given the Gilbert Ring previously worn by Jeremy). He is, however, aware of the supernatural world and has more than had his fair share of skirmishes with them in the past.
