I met this guy Tuesday night at a bus station while on my way home from a Halloween party. His friend noticed me first. She recognized my costume and called out “Yo! Storm!” (I was Storm from Xmen). I was surprised and went over to talk to them. I’ll be honest, they both looked a little rough. He was covered in tattoos and dressed like a gangster. I like to be really friendly though so I went over to chat. We all ending up talking about comic books and this guy was surprised at how much of a nerd I was. He said I’m a perfect woman lol. I told them I was hungry and they invited me out to a 24hr diner with them cause it was 2am and nothing else was opened. Usually I would make up an excuse about things like that. Cause honestly who goes for food with strangers at 2am? Especially in the city. For some reason I felt like I could trust them and so I went. We got there and started talking. I really connected with him but at the time I didn’t think much of it. We all sat there for like 2 hours just eating, making jokes, and talking. It was fun. His friend ended up inviting us to her place to watch movies. By this time it was almost 4am. I consider myself a girl who’s really conscious about her safety. I have no idea why I agreed. We get there and he took a shower. I ended up taking one afterwards. We sat on the couch together and started talking about all these random things. He kept telling me how sexy I was and that I was a nice girl periodically through out the night. We ended up hooking up (everything but sex) and he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was shocked cause I find it usually takes guys awhile before they want to call a girl their girlfriend. I had only known him for like 4 or 5 hours at this point. I said yes though. We had wed that night like 5 times. It was amazing. The next day he came back to my place and he slept over. He’s slept over the past two nights actually. I can tell he’s crazy about me and actually wants to have a real relationship. Despite being very different I really care about him too.

I’m 20 years old. I’m in college for social work. I’m a very quiet girl who keeps to herself a lot. I’ve never done any drugs including weed. I rarely drink alcohol and I’ve never been drunk.

He’s 33 years old. I’ll be honest though he looks younger and acts younger than his age. He’s very ambitious though. He works hard as a mover and makes good money. He’s a rapper and usually I’m skeptical when people tell me that but he’s actually really good. I think he could be something as a rap artist but I don’t know if that will happen. He used to be in a gang and used to do drugs awhile ago. He’s covered in tattoos, even has some on his hands and face. He’s been cheated on a lot. I believe that is part of the reason he likes me so much cause I’m just a nice, sweet girl. He also has a son who’s 10 years old. The mother has full custody.

I never in my life imagined myself being with a guy like this. I’m so happy though. He’s really been treating me amazing. Cooking me dinner (he used to be a chef), talking to me throughout the day while he’s at work, and showering me with affection. He’s so sweet to me. I feel like for him it was love at first sight. I’m not saying it wasn’t for me. This relationship and all these feelings are still being processed. He keeps telling me it was fate. He wants me to meet his family next week. He talked to my mom on the phone already. He finds my family funny. My mom is skeptical of everything but encouraged me to explore where this relationship could go. I’ve had nothing but abusive exes so this is a shock for me.

I want to know what you guys think about this.
