Is it too soon

I recently reconnected with a man I knew years ago. Both now single and we had a date. We never dated in the past was just some flirting and only really seen each other on occasion.

The first date we spent 6/7 hrs together. Catching up on what we had done with life but also just having a general chat and getting to know each other again

Our second date lasted 2 full days including an overnight (completely PG) but just chatting, there was some hand holding cuddling and kissing. The chemistry was there and I just felt so at ease with him. It felt like we had been doing it years instead of only a few days.

We’ve eaten together every night since and I feel at peace with him and he agrees. It’s only been a couple weeks, we’ve both cooked for each other and had meals out.

I can honestly see myself spending my life with him. I’m obviously trying to take things slowly but it’s just natural being with him there’s not expectations.

I know it’s quick but could this work long term? In the past it’s taken me weeks to be this comfortable around someone. I have never felt this connection before. I’m slightly older so don’t want to look like an idiot either

Quick update thanks all

We’ve met each others families, he actually tagged along on a family break I had planned.

We’ve also had a weekend away just us, no distractions either due to being so remote and had an amazing time.

i think I’m starting to believe in soulmates and happily ever after

I am happily convinced too x

His child is an older teen, they talk daily but he has his own life and doesn’t need to be around his father.

Really?
