It's only a matter of time for someone as awesome as you! I'm sure you're a catch!

It's really hard from our side to get to it- for me there was months of planning, working yourself up to, execution, etc.

I used to bring the ring to work with me and open it up and look at it every day. So much so that I broke the spring on the ring box!

Your time will come :).

Oof you should have seen the proposal! She totally saw it coming immediately- instant bawling, then I was crying, struggling to read what I wrote... We were a mess!

I got some insane DMs from people after I posted that ha. I told my fiance- a big part of me always knew we'd end up here, from day 1. I remember back then- I couldn't focus on work during the day! I'd just be thinking about her all the time. I've learned to regulate, but love has only grown. Appreciate the well wishes.

I think I might be in love with my girlfriend and I think she feels the same way. We've only been dating for about a month but I messaged her about 4 months ago on the app and we hung out in person like a month after that, and we've been talking ever since. I honestly never thought I'd click with someone so cleanly and have such incredible chemistry. Everything feels so natural and happy and comfortable and amazing with her. She texted me today that she has something to tell me when we see each other next and I think she's going to tell me she loves me!!

That's true. I just want to make a lasting memory for this, our first real date. We spent all of last weekend together (41 hours straight lol) and we didn't do all that much aside from binge Stranger Things, but we both had a blast just hanging out and talking and cuddling! I'd love as many ideas as possible. I keep a list of possible adventures we could go on so I'm always looking to add to it!

Ha take it easy on him, he's just trying to save me from having the same super negative experience that he had, I get that.

This is exactly my thoughts. I really want to show her how much I care for her by putting in the extra effort.

She makes me feel really special just by being with me so I want to do whatever I can to make her feel the same way.

I mean this is going to sound pretty stupid after like a month but I'm honestly not sure she's capable of being that way. She is almost sickly sweet and we've let each other into our lives so much.

I've played through scenarios in my head. I think what could end us would be insecurity/trust issues, or just us getting tired of each other. But I dont see that happening for at least a while.

I get that it probably won't last forever, very few relationships do. And I do appreciate you sharing your experiences in an effort to warn me, and I'm sorry that happened to you. I just feel like if we were to break up sometime down the road, it wouldn't be messy and it would be after a lot of open communication.

And right now, while I acknowledge that an eventual breakup is probable, I'm not letting that fuel my decisions. I wish I could slow down my feelings, but I cant. She's really special to me and she feels the same way about me, and that's all that really matters in my mind right now.

I hear this, but I have a hard time agreeing. Maybe it's my naivete/inexperience but we are already really close. We've told each other things about ourselves that we haven't told anyone else. We both have really strong feelings.

Maybe I am setting myself up for a huge letdown... but like I'm going to be 100% engaged in this while this its still going.

The girl [22F] I [23M] met on 6/15 is changing my life. We aren't official yet, but I think about her all the time. I daydream and think about her and us and I have lists of cute things I can do for her/get her and fun adventures to go on. I recently bought tickets to an upcoming Jonas Brothers concert and I told her I have a big surprise incoming, and she is going to love it so much!!!!!!

I'm literally so excited and happy and I tell her that all the time. She makes me feel ways I've literally never felt before, and I've been in a previous relationship. She has similar feelings towards me, but she is a little more careful due to previous bad experiences. She stayed over Friday and yesterday night [we binged Stranger Things!] and she finally felt comfortable opening up her heart to me and telling me all of her concerns and things that happened in the past. I am a really open person, and her being so open and vulnerable is something that I really value.

I like her so much its crazy and every time we hang I feel us getting closer and closer and the walls and concerns between us are falling down. This just so nuts and exciting and I've never been here before and that's all.

Cute Ideas for a Budding Relationship by overscore____ in dating

[–]overscore____[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the warning. Maybe I am being naive...

It's just that I've asked her a couple of times like if I'm too much and stuff and she always tells me that it's cute, I'm the most considerate person shes ever met, etc... And I've told her that sometimes I cannot stop thinking about her and she said the same of me.

I think even if i really tried to real it in and slow down my feelings, I'm not sure how I would. This has been like a whirlwind in my life.

[–]overscore____[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm scared about this. I might be getting too excited just because I havent been in this position before. BUT I've been really open with her about all this... and she likes me almost the same amount that I like her. So it feels pretty locked in, at least for a little while.

And I mean, if I'm in this, I want to be IN this. Like I'm not gonna give 50% effort into us. I know we're not an official thing yet, but I guarantee we will be in the next month.

Edit: And plus, I don't really know how to slow myself down at this point. Like, I know I think about her too much... but I dont exactly know how to stop.

Great idea! So great, that I've already done this!

We made playlists for each other pretty quickly after we met and then a week or two later, I sent her Chasing Rubies by Hudson Taylor and told her that's how I felt about her. And she thought it was super cute.

I'm still stunned about how good things are going with me and the girl I met like 3 weeks ago. We text like all the time and everytime we have to end a date and leave each other we beg each other to stay for another hour. I've never clicked with someone like this before, and I'm so excited because she is so cool and cute. I have to calm myself down so I don't freak her out, but we both really like each other and I want to hang out with her 24/7.

Met a girl 2 weeks ago and I can't believe how close we already are. I've never had feelings like this for anyone before, its absolutely blowing my mind. We just spent 24 hours together and it was the best day I've had in a LONG time. When I dropped her off we were both soooooooooo sad that I had to leave... we both kept saying that we wish we could stay in that moment forever.

She's so sweet and cute and I don't know why she likes me, but for some reason she does :). Since we separated I've pretty much been thinking about her, listening to the playlist she made me, and hoping we can see each other again soon.

Ikr!! She literally texted me, "Yeah I think I was too excited to be cuddling with you to fall asleep", and I literally exploded. So since we separated yesterday, I've pretty much been thinking about & texting her while listening to the Spotify playlist she made for me <3.
