In May of last year, I started talking to a guy who really gets me. (He's 27, I'm 22) We connect in a way I didn't think I ever would again after I lost first boyfriend and childhood best friend, and he makes me feel special. He gets my kind of weird and messed up. But then he joined the military. He was in BCT and he's currently in OCS. I have serious trust issues, and he has been more than patient with me. Thing is, we have lived in different states for most of the time we have been talking. Even still, he has worked his way into my heart. He asked me out his last day of leave for Christmas (01/02) and two months and six days later (today) he said "I love you". I got to fly out to see him for his graduation formal since I can't make it to the ceremony on Tuesday. Am I wrong for freaking out over him saying I love you? I am so scared to be hurt, and he is so patient and sweet. He even said I don't have to say it back until I'm ready... Otherwise this weekend has been wonderful. I spent most of yesterday and most of today with him. I'm so glad I got to go to his formal even though I had to wear a dress 😂😅

I know this is all scattered, but I just wanted to talk about it somehow. I don't even know if anyone will see this. That's okay though. I think it's cool to have a platform of women to talk about whatever. 😊
