Sophie

I'd be lying if I said like, I didn't feel like,

the feelings were very different with him than any of the other guys that I've dated or even like how I felt about my ex in the past.

Like it was, there was genuine feelings there that was like, Oh shit, this could turn into something.

Yeah.

And we had talked about expectations like upfront, I think even before the first date, cause he had told me like about being married and his son and everything before we met.

And my answer like all along has just been, you know, I am dating, I'm trying to be like genuine in how I'm dating, but I'm also not looking to rush into anything serious.

And, um, you know, he kind of felt the same way, but then obviously, you know, with, with him and feeling like this could be some real feelings there and him having a son, like there is an added seriousness to it where I don't want to waste his time.

Um, you know, I don't want him to waste my time.

Um,

But anyway, so that happened.

And my whole thought, and it was when I originally wrote it into you guys, was I'm just going to take this day by day.

And I told him that.

It was like, let's try not to rush this too much.

I'm not saying I love you back.

And he didn't say it again after that.

I think he was like, oh, shit.

But it was like, OK, let's try to slow things down.

But we were seeing each other a lot, like at least at least two times a week, I would say.

And we were really growing like the emotional connection.

Like he opened up a lot about his previous relationship and why that didn't work.
