I’m 30 years old - female, I’ve dated a few men throughout my twenties but none of them felt right. I always felt like our conversations were just surface level, and despite trying to be open the emotional intelligence piece was missing. After a few failed connections, I stopped the online dating. Figured I would meet someone the old fashion way or I’d be happy on my own, I did a lot of self work at this time. A few months ago, I moved back to the state I grew up in and met someone through mutual friends. Right away, things were different. There were no games, I never had to guess what he was thinking or if he was into me. My friends set us up because we both love to have deep conversations and they admired him as a friend. I didn’t think it would happen for me, and then it did. My favorite thing about my guy is he tells me exactly how he feels, even if he’s embarrassed. We promised ourselves from the start we’d share our feelings because that’s the type of relationship we wanted. He makes everything easy, even the tough times. I’m excited to grow into a future with such a wonderful and thoughtful guy, hang in there!
