AW right here
So I've been dating J for the past three weeks and I have to AW. He is so amazing I cannot even believe it. And what's more important is how I feel about him. I seriously almost forgot what it was like to be so excited to see someone that you cannot wait to get through your day or to get a little weak in the knees when they pick you up for lunch.
The best part is that I am pretty sure he feels the same way. Last night he asked me to be his date to a wedding. And it's at the end of May. Future plans like that are always a good sign!
Just had to share because this has definitely been a long time coming!

Re: AW right here
Aw, hooray! That's awesome news!
What's your favorite thing about him, so far?
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

I didn't even know you were seeing someone! Did you tell us about it and I just missed it? Link?
That's great! That's how I feel about J. I haven't felt that way about anyone in about 4 years. Don't you just want to AW all the time now? (I do! lol)
Yay, yay, yayyyy!! You so deserve this!
Last year FF asked me in April to be his date to a wedding in early June. Plans in the future are always a good sign....just sayin...
Probably just that he's so mature. There's absolutely ZERO games being played wiht him. What you see is what you get. But he usually shows me the way he feels rather than telling me (ie, not just paying lip service) so I know if he verbalizes something, he really means it. The other day we were laying there and he looked into my eyes and said "you're so beautiful". I died.
And I also like that he makes me feel safe and protected. I'm not exactly sure how to describe "why" I just get this feeling from him like I don't have to worry about being afraid of anything when he's around. I was so afraid of XH when we were first separated so I think this has something to do with it.
And he's incredibly thoughtful. One of my friends was going crazy over this alcoholic whipped cream that J and I had at a Coast Guard party (silly, I know). When I told him that he tracked down the girl that had brought the whipped cream to the party to find out where he could get it and then brought it to a b-day party that we were all at last night and gave it to my friend.
I'm totally picturing you with this big grin, from ear to ear, as you were writing this post. LOVE it!
** doing a happy dance for achase at my desk **
I haven't said too much about him but we went out awhile ago (like in Jan.) and I ended up blowing him off after I failed my test. I just didn't think I was into it and I was definitely in a funk.
I kept thinking about him and comparing other guys to him (they weren't as mature, I couldn't understand why they were playing games or weren't respecting boundaries, etc). I called him to see if he wanted to grab a glass of wine. He was on his was to Mexico City and he wanted to take a raincheck for the following Sunday. We went out and have been seeing eachother ever since!

So happy for you achase! Whooppee....no more clingers!
I am almost in the same boat as you are in right now. My only problem is my guy is so busy, so we are going to talk tonight and I am going to ask him if he has time to date (he only has time to hang out 1-2 nights a week).
Definitely NO clingers! I'm happy for you too!
Thank you very much. I do feel like I've been through a lot when it comes to relationships and dating. I think I've "earned my stripes" when it comes to finding someone wonderful so we'll see!
Awwwww, yay!!!!
Is J in the Coast Guard? I know a guy stationed in the Coast Guard out in California. Incidentally, his name begins with J. I'm gonna freak out if this ends up being a small world. (The J I know is awesome BTW.)
Yes! It's in way Northern CA. I'll PM you with his full name.
Dude...that would be so weird!
Yay Achase! I agree-you've "earned your stripes" and are totally due for a keeper this time...sounds like J is one!
