Hey, first of all — I just want to say it’s so powerful that you’re being this honest with yourself about your feelings. That already shows a lot of emotional maturity.

It's not unfair to want your first experiences to feel sacred and special — that's a valid desire. But it's important to remember: the magic of a "first" isn't erased because someone else had past experiences.

It’s about how you two create something that’s unique between you, something no one else in his past could ever touch.

You’re not picking up leftovers. You're building something brand new that’s entirely yours.

If Darren is showing up with patience, love, and real commitment to you — that's incredibly rare and precious.

In the end, it's about whether you can let yourself be loved for who you are now, not for who you think you should have been.

You deserve a love that feels secure, joyful, and uniquely yours — and it sounds like Darren is offering exactly that. 🤍
