Ruby Slippers Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Things are going great with the fella I've been seeing for just under 2 months, and I just wanna revel a little! He recently asked me if I'm seeing anybody else (I'm not), and replied when I asked him back, "Of course not." This weekend he told me he deleted his dating profile 3 weeks ago, because he doesn't need it anymore. I told him that I deactivated mine the other day. He's more conservative than I am, and I was worried maybe he was too uptight for me - but this weekend he was totally mellowing out, and it was so much fun. We went to the botanic garden with some friends of mine, had lunch with them, and later were dancing and singing in my house, having lots of silly fun. The sex was unbridled yet connected and sweet - twice. In the morning, he sings me silly romantic songs. This morning in bed, we were both just all grins and having a little party in bed - and I am NOT a morning person. We went out for a yummy breakfast, walked around the 'hood in the summer sunshine, got some stuff from the bakery. I told him I had a wonderful time, and we parted on a high note. My attitude remains the same: enjoy it while it lasts, whether it's a short while or a long time. Don't put pressure on it due to fears - let it be the wonderful thing that it is. Whatever happens, I feel blessed to have this time with him. Knowing him is having a very positive effect on my life. My main concern is that he is a TOTAL catch who could have his pick of women! He's gorgeous, smart, caring, good-hearted. He comes from a good, loving family, and has applied himself to his goals with admirable commitment from a young age. I worry because objectively he is better-looking than I am, has accomplished more, and I grew up in a dysfunctional household and have some residual emotional hangups because of that. I've come a long way in resolving them, but of course I'm a work in progress. But I let a good bit of that information out this weekend, and he was very understanding. I asked him if any of that was a problem for him, and he said it wasn't. I'm just being as positive and fun as I can, not worrying about what might be. For now, I'm just enjoying what is - because it's pretty sweet, and I am very happy Edited August 5, 2012 by Ruby Slippers 22
Cracker Jack Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 That's awesome. Sounds like you're having a great time with him. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, Ruby. Keep it up and continue living in the moment:bunny: Nothing can beat that. 1
Imajerk17 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Well, you also overcame obstacles that he has not. You fought that battle and won. That is something you ought to be proud of, Ruby Slippers. Happy to hear that all is going so well for you! 4
ThaWholigan Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Fantastic stuff Long may it continue years from now 2
ptp Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Good for you Ruby, I remember a couple of months ago you seemed pretty down. Things look like they have taken a 180. 1
tigressA Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Well, you also overcame obstacles that he has not. You fought that battle and won. That is something you ought to be proud of, Ruby Slippers. Happy to hear that all is going so well for you! Quoted for truth. I am so excited and happy for you--well, I have been ever since I first heard of this guy in one of my earlier threads! Try to keep those worries at bay. YOU'RE the one who snagged him, you're the one he wants! Much love to you, and enjoy! 3
Author Ruby Slippers Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 Glad to hear something came good from OLD! This weekend he told me his first-date horror stories from OLD. This guy is only the second guy I've met from OLD - the first was one date and not a match. So I lucked out quick! He told me that this one girl, on the first date, told him she didn't have much money and was looking for a guy she could move in with. Another one, after the first date, sent him a long e-mail saying that she would only keep dating him if he agreed that he would someday convert to her specific religious sect, as one of her friends' husbands had done for her. We agreed that probably 90% of the people on OLD are users or crazy - and also agreed we're glad we found one of the good apples. He is proof that they are there 1

Now...just waiting for my Cinderella moment Hope she comes soon 1
Eternal Sunshine Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Aw Ruby, that's pretty awesome :bunny::love: Whatever happens whom here on, you had great 2 months that nobody can take away from you. And remember: "don't fear loss" TBF 2
threebyfate Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 YES! Another happy story. That's lovely to hear Ruby. 1
Els Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 So happy for you, Ruby! And don't put yourself down because of what you think he might have accomplished above you! Perhaps he feels he is the lucky one for being able to find such a loving, resilient, positive, amazing woman who is totally into him. 2
Emilia Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Well, you also overcame obstacles that he has not. You fought that battle and won. That is something you ought to be proud of, Ruby Slippers. Happy to hear that all is going so well for you! Second this. You might find Ruby that he really likes that you haven't had it easy. There are a lot of guys that like a woman with a little bit of edge who had to work for it herself. That kind of attraction goes beyond picture pretty. Good luck! 1
