And you're right. So date two was the night after that. And literally 30 minutes before our second date, he was told he was going back to London. So what do you do when you know you already like someone?

I felt safe with him. I felt immediately like I could talk to him about anything. I didn't know whether that was true or not, but I felt very comfortable with him. Also, I have to say, and this applies to us, but I think that he was not from New York and there was the possibility of him being here or not being here. As someone who felt she was losing herself in the dating process,

He was low stakes. He could move back at any time or this could not last. So what it allowed me to be was 1 million percent me. And I liked me, but I was losing me. But with him, I found that I was not running my texts by anyone else, by my girlfriends. It wasn't like, hey, can I text this? What do you think he'll react?

That's clue that maybe you're not totally being yourself there or maybe there are some games happening. And so we got to a point, he and I kept on seeing each other. So he was back in New York a lot, but he wasn't constantly in New York. And we were on FaceTime one night. And honestly, I don't remember what I said. I did not know I was on the cusp of a pivotal moment, but I said something to him.

And he had this reaction, this visceral reaction. He said, I just don't know you well enough yet. Oh, that like hit me in the heart because I thought I was opening myself up to him. And I was. But for whatever reason, he wasn't as fully there as I was. Because he's British. He's British. That's what it was. We just blame it on his culture, right?

So we got off FaceTime, and I could have done what I'd done in the past, what you knew me to do. millions of years ago, and I could have retreated. But something in me said, face this. Face what he is saying. And I remember, I remember exactly where I was. I was in my bed, in my pajamas. It was evening. And I Googled at that moment how to get to know someone better. That was my first instinct.

I listened to him. I didn't say, well, he's wrong. And I'm just going to retreat. And there are better guys in my city. I didn't go there. I liked him. So I leaned into what he said. And I thought, OK, if he feels we don't know each other well enough, I'm going to try and get to know him better. How do you do that? I started reading articles on different things.
