I didn't want to talk too soon, but I figure I have nothing to lose and I really don't care who knows anyway. After all, this is as public a life and journal as any.
So the word on the street is that I'm kinda, sorta seeing someone ;x
It is true, my friends. It is true.
I'm dating someone new. As of last night he kinda established that between us.
(note: notice I said that he established it- I'll get to me later)
Lets talk about him first..
Things have kinda started off a little fast with "Nate" and I. He's been one of those people that you meet and, BOOM, their there..all of a sudden in your life. From one moment to the next.
I met him a couple weeks ago when
passi0n and I went bar hopping. He's tall, tattoos, VERY good looking, amazing body (he trains everyday), he's a fighter..like, he's one of those UFC aficionados or some shit. He has 2 jobs, smart, funny, witty, handsome. Very Type-A, a man's man, blah blah blah. You get the point.
So last night he made it clear where we stood. We were on his sofa, just cuddling (I'll get to that later on too) and goofing off, laughing and talking shit, when out of left field he busts out with this "us" talk.
He set it off with
"I like you- A LOT". At that point, I looked at him blankly, half-smiled, looked down at his chin (couldn't look him in the eyes), nodded, and said "me too".
I proceeded in letting him do all the talking while I just kept nodding and agreeing to it all. In conclusion, he said we were dating and that I'm his girl.
I think its pretty needless to say that while all this was happening, I had the slight urge to run out the fucking back door.
The truth is, people and pedobears, that I do like him but I'm bugged out that this is going too fast.
Yesterday there was one moment, when we were sitting on his couch, and he stretched out, layed down and pulled me up to lay my body on top of his (nothing freaky, pedobear). We were just laying there, my body on top of his, as he was holding me with one arm and and tickling my arm and playing with my hair with the other. All the while I couldn't relax for the life of me. I was trying my best to hide my feeling of claustrophobia, but I honestly felt like I was about to have an anxiety attack at any moment. I couldn't do it.
I finally got up and sat Indian style and the end of the couch, face in hand, while I ran my fingers through my head/hair. He asked what was wrong and I complained of a mega-headache, homework and needing to study for my quiz and upcoming test.
I lied, obviously.
Truth is I couldn't continue feeling like I had to force myself to show affection that isn't even there yet.
I couldn't fake it. I couldn't just let myself go long enough to cuddle with the poor guy.
Maybe this is a normal fear associated with doing things with someone new? Maybe giving up the partying and single life is too much for me right now? Maybe my commitment issues are deeper and more serious than I thought? Maybe I'm trying to force myself to be ready?
I don't know.
I really don't.
When you meet the person you're meant to/supposed to be with, do you "just know" like everyone says, or is that just what eharmony commercials want to feed to the masses?
I don't know.
One thing I do know is that he and this (whatever "this" is) does deserve a fair chance
Right?
