He helped rescue a dog???

Got out of a long relationship that was really really a bad fit. It crushed my confidence and made me lose belief in love.

I got out there, just to prove to myself that there might be another fit and it’s not all bad.

YOU GUYS. I went on a date with this incredible guy:

-I was late. The cafe we were going to go to was closed that day- he wasn’t even remotely upset with me, and said, ok, lead the way, where are we going now? (you have no idea how much this meant to me-my last partner would freak out every time a tiny little thing went wrong and it would ruin the entire date. potentially even the weekend.)

-Full belly laughs, haven’t laughed that long and hard with someone in a longgg time. so sharp and witty and funny

-He was a perfect gentleman- he drove to my part of town, held open the door for me multiple times. since he had to go farther, i offered to pay for the coffee- he fought me and bought it for me??? he even offered to drive me closer to my house so i didn’t have to walk since he knew i walked there. he texted me that he had a wonderful date and that he wanted to see me again

– been single for several years and can talk about his ex without animosity- was totally matter of fact about her and didn’t go on forever

– independent- has a life, friends, a steady job he’s good at and likes well enough, hobbies, a handle on his mental health, goals and dreams, a studio apartment, a car OMG!!!

-emotionally intelligent- he could read exactly how i was feeling and i could read exactly how he was feeling. we just knew- i didn’t have to sit there and guess. conversation was easy and we both put in equal work to keep it flowing

-THE BEST PART: we both kept getting distracted by all the animals nearby- just the best dogs and birds and animals ever out because it was sunny. (he had a picture of his family’s dogs on his credit card too OMG.) there was a lady who put her dog on a post outside so she could run in and go order some food- but he noticed she got loose. he called her over, and the dog immediately came running over and cuddled with him and got all the pets. he kept the dog from wandering off or running out into the middle of the street until the woman could come back. when she came back, she was so apologetic and he went “oh no, it’s no problem! she’s such a good girl 🙂 “ and he was just so aggressively kind to the cashier working the register- AJDGDKFHKFHDJRJF!!!!!

I haven’t felt this sexy in years. I haven’t been this attracted to someone in years. BRB buying new cute underwear holy hell

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop- something must be wrong. He must secretly be an asshole. We don’t align with kids or religion, but I’m not necessarily looking for a husband. Just someone who feels nice in the moment and is fun on dates. Either way- this is too good to be true!
