A new thing, and I kinda like it.

Good things are happening, and I am enjoying it. The long time spent wondering, well, it's not so much wondering now as it is finding out. I mentioned in an earlier post that I had met a guy through match.com who sparked my interest. I guess you could say he has my full attention now.

We've been on a bunch of dates and things are going really well so far. Being the straight forward, cards on the table, kind of girl I am, I gave him the "this is a pretty new scenario for me" speech. And his response, well, it couldn't have been much better, "I like you too much to rush anything" Hehe.

It's a lot of fun this dating thing. And now that it is really happening and I am not just imagining what dating must be like through a sad girl's eyes, I wonder what the heck my problem was. Perhaps I have happened upon something better than I was expecting, but so far, the ease with which we can talk to one another, and how comfortable I am when I am around him, make me glad I waited until I felt this way about someone and didn't just settle for some guy I never really liked to begin with, just to say I was dating someone.

I am definitely enjoying this new side of life, and of me. At the same time, I am trying to keep my head at least a little. I know myself well enough to know how I care about people. It's an all or nothing kind of game. The last thing I need is a relationship that moves way faster than I am ready for. But he is in on the secret, and so far he's been pretty great about my slowish pace. I am excited to see how this plays out :)
