I think I’ve met the one

For context I (28M) met this guy (32M) on an app about 5ish months ago. We started off like any online meetup, we chatted a few days on the app before moving to Snapchat and eventually met up. I won’t deny it, I liked what I saw with him. He’s incredibly handsome and has a personality that I fell in love with quickly. We met for coffee on our first date and talked for hours. We ended up spending the entire day together just chatting. Since meeting him, we’ve spent 6 out of 7 days of the week together. We go on dates, hikes, local outings etc. He’s treated me better then any of my prior boyfriends. It actually made me kinda insecure at first. I was not used to that level of treatment if I’m honest. We were both fairly upfront on what we are looking for. I was looking for a long term partner, he happened to be as well. When I started developing these strong feeling for him, I told myself to just wait and see. I’ve been through enough to know not to get to excited about it out the gate. Self-preservation and whatnot. But ti me and time again, I’ve leaned into that insecure feeling. It’s just me thinking it, and he’s been an absolute amazing guy. So I’ve taken that leap with him. I’ve committed to seeing this through. I have and can actually picture a future with him. It’s been 7 years since I’ve said ‘I love you’ and felt it like that with another guy. I just want to be there with and for him. And I have no doubt he’d do the same for me. The big thing I want to hit on here though. I’d given up on dating prior to this. Don’t get me wrong I did keep some apps to chat when I was absolutely bored lol. But I wasn’t expecting this to come from it. For me it had been a couple years, and I was a bit rusty. Though if I’m being honest, I was resigned in just being single for awhile. I didn’t and don’t expect much from those apps, save for a pic you don’t want to open in public. And that’s not really my thing. I met him though and it’s been amazing. He’s lowkey turned me onto cars and his interests and I’ve rubbed off some of my more nerdy interests onto him. We just started the older marvel movies to go in order lol. I don’t want to say those apps will get you into a relationship. I don’t even really want to give them too much credit. It was a very much right time and right moment situation. But I am grateful to have met him and I want to see where we can go long term.

Thank you all for listening to my gushing for a moment. It’s been years since I’ve felt this. The butterflies, mild bouts of insecurity, that strong level of attraction to someone etc. I think I found my partner in crime and I couldn’t be happier. My main takeaway lesson from this was, when you’re not looking for it, sometimes love will find you in the most unexpected way
