13 weeks into a new romance. We knew eachother just to speak to for a year if we saw eachother.
He has had 2 long term relationships since being 20. He's now mid forties. Got adult children. His social media is proof he's only had his long term relationship. Lots of photos of his ex and her family. Dogs. A couple of holidays.
He told me he loved me after six weeks. Which I felt the same so we now say it to eachother daily.
He communicates with me alot and it doesn't feel smothering. This lockdown has been made alot easier by his phone calls or me calling him. But he's the first man I've known to enjoy this level of communication. Lots of messages too.
We have sent gifts. But they are thoughtful. I was struggling to sleep and he sent me a body cream that helps you sleep.
I sent him a mat to help with achy muscles as he often aches after work. I'd been telling him about them for ages so sent it for Christmas almost and sent him some bath stuff with it. He then asked me Thursday what perfumes I like. He has sent me a perfume arriving today. Which is lovely.
He's not had many relationships as I say. He's quite shy about sex and women. Although he's more comfortable with me the last few weeks. He lost his mum in his twenties and he has always struggled with loosing her so young. He told me this week that he used to be able to tell his mum anything and he's never met anyone else until Me he can be so open with. Which is true. We've talked alot and do seem to have clicked on a deeper connection. But he has mentioned me when talking about his mum a couple of times now.
We were walking on Wednesday and he said to me he googled love and what it actually meant. I laughed and said really. He looked embarrassed and said he had. Because he's experiencing feelings now that he's never had and feels he's missed out. He said he feels that I'm the right women to talk to him.
He talks very respectfully of his ex of 8 years. They seperated 2 years ago. He is a complete gentleman about her. He said she was an attractive women and a lovely girl. They split because she couldn't handle his depression. He said she chose to go on holidays without him with friends and she went to Australia with her mates twice in two years but didn't want a UK holiday with him. So they sat down and agreed they wanted different things. He's never been bitter or nasty about her.
But Ive noticed a couple of things.
He says things that I've already said sometimes. Like he's mirroring me? For example I stretched on the phone once and said do you ever do a stretch and it feels so nice. He said the exact same sentence to me a few weeks later. I've noticed this a few times and think I said that.
He does tell me he loves me so much and he would cringe at people saying love at first sight in the past. He said the first time he saw me he thought wow. He knows exactly what I was wearing and he said he remembers my beautiful smile and the way I was leaning down a little because I was holding my son's hand. I know this is true because I got a message from a mutual friend who said he had told everyone he was stood with how lovely I was that day.
I fancied him straight away too. So I understand what he's saying.
We seem to have become very close quite quickly. But I just want to know what people think? It does feel natural. But I've not met such a keen bloke who says such sweet things before. .
