Butterflies in your stomach. Cheesy ass smile across your face. Major feels about the person - this my fellow readers are signs of being sprung.
Yup I said it, I'm sprung. Don't know how this happened, well I do but that's beside the point. You never know who's going to come into your life and give you the unexpected. As you are well aware from my previous dating entries, which seemed to be going nowhere, I believe I have found the diamond in the rough. The peanut to my jelly, the cheese to my macaroni, and to quote The Little Rascals, "He melts me like a Popsicle stick on the 4th of July". Ha ha, but in all seriousness I think I may have found my match.
I was at the point of forgetting about the dating life because I was so over all the f*ckery. Then, he slipped into my DM with a unique way to start the conversation. From there, exchanged numbers and started to get to know each-other better.
Come first date/meet-up. Didn't give me a choice really as to whether or not I was able to meet on said day, but instead said with a confident, "I'll see you tomorrow Nat". Family timing lead to things not working out as planned BUT did end up meeting on said day. (He later told me that he thought I wasn't going to show up and flake, due to our conversation leading up to the meet up.) Needless to say we hit it off right away. He opened up in a way I have never experienced for someone opening up until maybe a few months knowing eachother. This immediately grew my attraction. Who is this man? Is he for real though? Yes, very much real, real since day one. We talked about our hopes, dreams, goals, family and came to find that we share many of the same qualities and have the same drive for what we want. That in itself said so much. To me, nothing is more attractive than a man who knows what he wants, and not only that but goes for it, and IS working towards it.
I've always been the one in the relationship to push my counterpart to do more. Go for the things they wished out of their life, careers, etc. Granted I had the support to pursue my dreams and goals but neither of them have ever pushed me to go for it in the extent I needed to be pushed. This is what this man does for me, he compliments me where I can't myself. Having someone who understands you need to do what it takes to get where you want with your goals, is one of the biggest support systems you can have.
Yes this is still all very new, and these feelings are for sure the first time butterflies of a new relationship forming. Can't say what's going to happen down the road, but things are going well so far and for sure as hell I'm going to enjoy it!
