Just needed somewhere to gush

Katie

Honestly I just needed somewhere to say this cause my friends are tired of hearing about my love life cause they’re not like that. I might delete this tomorrow but right now I’m happy so I’m posting 😂

THIS IS GONNA BE LONG Y’ALL. I’M KINDA JUST RAMBLING 😅😅😅😅

Small backstory: I dated a guy from the age of 15-22 (actually one week before my 23 birthday) and when he dumped me after eight years his line was “I don’t have enough time for you”. It messed me up pretty bad cause a month before the breakup he was talking about engagement and I spent five months in therapy and a year and a half single.

Now: I started dating on bumble and met up with a few guys to get back into dating. At the beginning of December I started talking to this guy and we hit it off. Our first date went from dinner to five hours sitting and talking, our second and third dates were more fun (bars with more games and a paint and sip). Now it’s been more than two months of talking (a month and a half since we met in person) and he is just so sweet.

Today, we went out even though he was getting over being sick because we didn’t get to see each other for two weeks and he wanted to meet up “because he missed me”. I haven’t had anyone (outside of family) say they miss me in years, y’all.

And this guy always wants to try new things so today I got to teach him how to ice skate. I haven’t had this much fun in such a ling time and I’m excited to see where this goes with him. I was so unsure about going back out into dating but after the few one-off dates I had, I had the confidence in myself to know I deserved to be happy and learn that I was healed from such a messy breakup. I definitely met him at the right time because we’re both young and just finding something fun to do and someone fun to do it with right now.
