This is an interesting one.
You came into my life at a time where I needed someone to take interest. I had been home for 2 weeks, horrified that I no longer had a friend circle.
We had hung out in groups for almost the last year, since Claire's graduation. I noticed you, we were friendly, and I made a point for us to all be in groups every time I came home. You asked me for fitness advice, asked about jiujitsu. I thought you were just being friendly. I figured you were (are) so far out of my league that I felt just lucky to be a friend. And when it turned out that you were interested in me as more than a friend, it flipped a switch.
And I we've spent the majority of our days together since then.
The Monday after we got together you were introducing me to your mom, your stepdad, your mom's clients... and it was like I was in some sort of twilight zone. You know me well enough to now see that I'm a big ball of social awkwardness and anxiety, but I do all I could to conduct myself in a manner that wouldn't have me banned from you.
And it seems to have worked. We're still together. And in the last week you have shifted from treating me as if you're happy with me to treating me like you're genuinely excited to be with me.
And it feels amazing. You treat me so much better than I've ever felt I deserved. Your family treats me better than mine does.
I'm excited for you, and I am excited for us.
