Newly dating - but feel like known him for years. Has anyone experienced this?

[Lifegoalsneeded]

Been dating a great guy for 5 weeks. We meet 1 or 2 times a week and text daily - a nice amount of texts.

I feel I have been dating him for months. I just counted and it’s only been 5 weeks. Feel comfortable around him, texts are mixed of chat and lovey stuff. It’s just easy to date him as there is no anxiety etc.

I am an avoidant person and start to feel uncomfortable around gushy texts and somehow sabotage things . However I feel fine with him. Did have a wobble a week or so ago and he spotted this and dialled back his keenness a bit. Also had a talking to from friends. More a wobble over me looking for faults than embrace the fact a guy really likes me.

has anyone else felt the same? If so how did it work out?

Yes! I met my current boyfriend nearly a year & a half ago...and on our first date it felt like I was with someone I'd known for years. We used to laugh about how comfortable we were after only a few dates and we couldn't believe we fell in love so quickly. We've both said it feels like we've always been in each other's lives. We shouldn't have even crossed paths - both our radius' on OLD were set to maximum 15 miles...yet we popped up on each other's even though we were 28miles away. We are still just as crazy about each other now as we were on our first date! Enjoy it, I think we are the lucky ones x

Yes with my husband, who I’m still very much in love with nearly two decades later.

But I’ve also thought I’d felt like that with a couple of previous boyfriends early on, and as it evolved it really wasn’t as good and easy as I thought!! Just enjoy it, keep your wits about you. Don’t rush things. Here’s hoping it stays good.

Yes. We've been married for 25+ years.

Yes! I've been with my partner 9 months and from about 2 weeks in it felt like years 😊😊

I remember with DH it was just so easy. No games, no 'does he like me', nothing too intense. Just easy. Like hanging out with a friend that you also really fancy! We've been together 10 years now.

Yes, right from the first message we just 'clicked'. Everything seemed very natural. Six years on since we got together.

Yep, DH. Just as though we'd been mates for yonks.

I knew DH vaguely (we worked at the same place) for years and then there was a work thing that meant we needed to interact more closely for a bit. Straight away I was totally at ease with him, just could completely be myself, didn't even think about it.

We got together romantically fairly quickly and both just knew this was it. We have now been married for 8 years and have three children. It's a weird thing but even if we hadn't fancied each other, I would still just really like to be his friend, he's lovely.

Enjoy it, not everything has to be angst and mind games. Some relationships really are easy.

Yes. Been together almost 2 years. The calmest and most fun 2 years. We clicked on our first message and we were saying last night it just gets better. Definitely with a friend who I fancy. Enjoy it OP 😊

To echo what others have said. I'd definitely choose him as a friend. Just so happens that he's also the most handsome man in my eyes x
