And I like him more when he's not around versus I try to shut my brain off and just see how we are.

I mean, he asked me like two weeks ago to be his girlfriend and I said yes.

But I mean, it's like I said, it's a very new kind of thing.

I don't see this as like we're not in a serious relationship at this point.

It's the beginning.

I think the only reason I would be feel any sort of way about it was because he asked me to be his girlfriend and there's like those things.

And because he, and I have been exclusive, but other than that, I don't, I mean, I think maybe there's a better person out there for him than me.

okay that sounds kind of like you have your like love him more and like be like if someone's telling me like i want to take pictures with you and post you and i want you to meet my family and stuff like that i would hope that your person you're seeing is excited about those things and like i think he deserves that i mean if natalie would have told me that i mean hell even after we were boyfriend and girlfriend a month in i would have been like a little like anxious about that i'm like okay calm down

Just one more little question.

I do think most people do, like you said, value that chemistry maybe way more than somebody should, but do you think that that's a necessity for relationships?

You know what I was thinking last night as I was watching that.

isn't feeling right and um you found a nice friend you respect him but like he's you know not your guy oh thank you so much i i really think that i i don't think i value chemistry too much i just have realized that it is something i do need is like a a pull towards each other and um

And I think that just goes along with like the things I want as in like compatibility and timeline and all of those things too.

So this is really helpful.

I really appreciate your time.

I know Marissa from high school.

We have known each other for about 13 years now and have stayed friends ever since.

Marissa is one of the most giving, kind, selfless people that I know.

And that's actually something that drew me to her all those years ago.

She is a really, really good friend.
