I'm really happy to hear all of this! You deserve good things, and I hope they only get better from here! I grinned like an idiot at you literally getting weak in the knees!
Here's one example that I was pretty surprised at.
Granted, I made a point to make small talk with him and most people just handed in their answers... but ok.
There was a round of photos that you had to identify what type of junk food it was based on a super close up photo. We did not do so well, so I made a snarky joke when I handed in the paper "I can't even eat half of this stuff, not fair!" (Celiac.)
When we were planning a date he was like "Oh yeah, I remember you saying you can't eat certain things." I was like whoa! I said that, what, 6 months ago?!
A is the same way. It has a way of making you feel really cared for. Also, guys in their 40s are where it's at
Yay! The best things that set H apart from the rest were 1) it felt effortless. WE just simply liked each other and wanted to with each other. simple as that. 2) neither of us were into games, so if we wanted to see other, we asked the other out. We didn't worry about how many days it had been, blah, blah, blah.
So happy for you, you are a great catch both professionally and personally.
