When I met him 🤭
I feel like running up to him and hugging him so badly. I want to hold his hands and put my hand and hold his arms. I want to run my fingers through his hair. I want to feed him food. I want to smell his perfume. I want to hear him laugh 🤭 But I can’t do these yet, he hasn’t even said the L word yet. He asked if we could see each other tomorrow after work 🤭
Meeting someone new can fill you with a mixture of excitement and nervousness, especially when you start to develop strong feelings but haven't yet defined the relationship. I remember feeling so eager to express my affection—wanting to hug him, hold his hands, and even playfully run my fingers through his hair. These small gestures feel so intimate and promising in those initial moments. However, it's also common to feel restrained because the relationship hasn't reached an official stage, such as saying 'I love you.' This phase involves a unique kind of patience and hope. Waiting for that first 'L word' can feel like a tender suspense; it's a sign of emotional commitment that deepens the connection. In the meantime, simple moments like sharing a meal, smelling his perfume, or hearing his laugh can mean the world and help you feel closer emotionally. These little experiences build a foundation of comfort and familiarity that is essential in any relationship. Planning to meet after work, as he asked, is a wonderful opportunity to grow closer and enjoy each other's company without pressure. Remember, every relationship moves at its own pace, and cherishing these subtle, sweet interactions makes the journey memorable and meaningful. Embrace the feelings, and allow the relationship to naturally progress toward greater intimacy and love.
