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.
Um, we were having a lot of like deep conversations about stuff and we were not, we, there was a lot of physical, like sexual tension for sure.
But he was actually the one that said he didn't want to rush the physical part of it too much that he didn't want this to be a hookup.
He said multiple times, like, I don't want this to be a hookup.
Um, and so that was great.
Weird as a 29 year old to say that.
We didn't really talk about it after that.
Like we talked about, we were very open about how things were moving very fast and, um,
it was like, we both acknowledged like, this is crazy.
Like, he's like, I don't usually like fall like this.
And I was like, yeah, I definitely don't either.
It seemed like he was operating at a hundred percent and I was like at maybe like a 50 or 60, but I was like starting to get to where he was.
So he, he's very close with his family, which so am I. And so that was a huge thing for us.
And he had like opened up to his brother about, you know, seeing me and the feelings and then his brother kind of like told his parents and so like, his brother really wanted to meet me.
And so he said, and this was about like three weeks after we started dating, like,
would you want to come meet my brother and my sister-in-law and I was like yeah sure and I yeah so I went and did that and um his mom ended up showing up at the house so I ended up meeting his mom and his brother and his sister-in-law and I thought it went really well and that night um so his work schedule is always crazy and then obviously he has not primary custody of his son but he has more custody than his ex so like us having time to actually spend the night together
but this was one time where it was like, okay, this is like the first opportunity.
