Im 26 and haven't exactly had a successful time dating.
One 6 year traumatic relationship, a few that never panned out, then 2 more recent guys that BOTH managed to miss their ex but waiting a good while to tell me that before breaking it off.
BUT I've been seeing this new guy (also 26) for about a month? He's definitely different seeming so far.
The last couple guys I dated weren't bad people, but definitely right away made me feel less special by always commenting about their exes and getting more physical asap.
This guy on our first date just straight up admitted his nerves. I wasn't sure the first time we met if he was my type but we hit it off so well that we've kinda just kept it up and I think i really like him.
We see each other on the weekends because well work opposite shifts during the week. But even then he makes a point to want to call me on my lunch break and stuff and it's sweet. It seems minor but that's something nobody else has been interested in doing yet.
Today was the first time we've even kissed or had any non platonic contact. Prior to this we've just been getting to know each other and I have to say it's nice to not feel rushed. And after he admitted how nervous he was about it 😭❤️.
Honestly the combination of him being bold enough to go through with it and admit that is the sweetest thing I've ever heard and I didn't expect to have that effect/ never have before.
I don't know a ton about his dating history yet, but he just seems like a kind man and I'm glad I tested it out a little longer. I tend to just assume (not good of me) when the interest isn't obvious quickly that they just aren't interested.
I guess this isn't really a question but I just wanted to type it out to process/absorb it all a little. It's just exciting to see early signs that maybe I've found a quality guy
