mortensorchid Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 I have been fairly silent in the last several months just giving opinions on other threads. Wanted to update one and all because guess what? It finally happened... Sometime in June I was on Facebook and for the last year I just post ASMRs of ambience with updates (jazz coffee shop, rain, snowfall, etc.). I posted something of an octopus swimming to piano music and this guy made a comment about it. We got to exchanging banter about things. I DMed him because I saw he had posted some photos of my old theater company and wanted to ask some questions about how things were there. Many of the OG / Triple OGs of the company all left due to in fighting, myself included. Eventually we got to talking about other things then he asked to meet so I said ok. I got to the place to meet him and I said I thought he was the chicken. He had posted some photos from the play with this guy dressed up in a chicken costume and I thought he was the chicken man. He said no, he wrote the play. But I was happy because he was much cuter than the chicken man was. We had 3 dates then at the end of the 3rd date I said I had to get up early and I was calling it a night. It was 7pm. I didn't really, I wanted to go home and think about it. I was afraid because I have been abused and dumped and had my self esteem shattered in a million pieces over and over. I couldn't do it again, could I? And I thought yes, I'll do it. A few days later I reached out and asked how he was. He responded and said he thought he had blown it with me. I said no I wanted to think about things and just because I have been hurt in the past doesn't mean that this won't work, will it? He agreed. He said I am hard to read, I said I trained myself to be that way. Plus I take after my dad and he has a side of him that is cold and unfeeling sociopathic. But I digress... I asked do you want to take it to the next level and go further? He said yes. And I said I did as well. It's about 9 months later now, we're in love. 17

Lotsgoingon Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Well all right. That's the way to do it: put your own self first and then work the relationship from there. Communicate with him as you are doing. Go @mortensorchid!

stillafool Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 What wonderful news and you certainly deserve it.
smackie9 Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 You finally met the one! that's great news. I get a sense you changed your approach this time around. More reserved? More self assured?
