So I met someone. It's really early on to get too excited but it's a sweet story.
So, after my reunion, my friends and I went to the local bar. A guy started talking to me and he was cute but I wasn't there to be hit on by strangers. He said he was at my reunion too. He said his name. The name was familiar, but I couldn't remember his face and didn't know him in school. He also didn't remember me. We talked and couldn't take our eyes away from each other. He got my number and we went our separate ways.
I did some lurking and noticed we have mutual friends who seem to approve of him. He has my butch lesbian friend's approval and that's a very good sign to me, personality-wise. He seems trustworthy and silly like me. We grew up in the same small town, so we understand things outsiders don't, and have the same humor. It's like we speak the same obscure language. We have the same basic values and philosophies about life. I like that we somehow managed to have different teachers and spent our entire teenage lives separated by one building, and never met until now. Because it's like...new and exciting, yet feels safe and familiar.
He's a witty communicative texter. We talk about wholesome things! A week after some texting, we had a proper date. It was really nice. He opens doors for me. He has intuition! We talk easily. It's comfortable. He enjoys cooking! He bought me a big bouquet of roses. We talked in nature and ran around being silly downtown and passed out at his place.
The next day he took care of my hangover and made me breakfast in bed, and dinner. We cuddled ALL DAY. It felt really natural and not at all weird. We clearly have a whole lot of chemistry although we didn't have sex yet. But hooooo wow we both want to. I just wanted to try to wait this time because I'm not looking for a fuckboy. We did a whole lot of making out though, and it was super fun! Butterflies! Weee! He didn't want me to leave. I felt very safe with him. In a way that I haven't felt in a very long time.
Anyways, I'm happy. I'll just leave it at that for now...
