I guess I don't need to bury this in a random thread.
I now have a boyfriend. And he is amazing! Smart and funny and so amazingly sweet to me. He compliments me all the time, he cleaned my entire kitchen after I cooked for him (and not just basic cleaning, he polished countertops and my sink). He's attentive and dresses well and snuggles like a damn champion and we fit together very well. My dog and cats love him, my friend who randomly (unintentionally) introduced us loves it, so that's that.

This is the guy you didn't have sex with last night? On your first date? So, you had sex today and now he's your boyfriend? Just trying to keep up. I'm old.
We didn't have sex last night, either. But he did spend the night and we made coffee and watched the news and went to breakfast.

I'm also old and am side-eyeing the shit out of this comment. Perhaps you didn't mean it the way it came out?

I took it as a curiosity question, but if it's a judgment, whatever. I'm 35. I'm old enough now to know that plenty of people have sex on their first date. Most people I know.
I'm super confident that this relationship has very little to do with sex and a whole lot to do with a very good meshing of personalities. The wisdom of being old and having been through that gives me that confidence.
He knows that it's a possibility. But what I haven't said to anyone other than my mom is that I may not move after all. My trip to SD changed a lot of my perspective. This was all before him, so it's not like I'm making that decision based on him.

Aww, you guys!! Thank you, seriously. It's been super fun and amazing, truly, being single, and I love that this happened so completely out of the blue for both of us.
I wish figuring out the rest of my life was as easy as this has been. Haha!

Wait, what? No, I'm not judging. I loved my confident, sexy, fun 30s so you get yours and all that. I was trying to figure out how she had a boyfriend today after a first date last night. Like, how did you guys decide to be exclusive? Did you talk about it? Sorry if it seems nosy. I have to live vicariously through internet strangers.
I figured you weren't being a jerk.
We met last Saturday, talked all day every day this week (like pretty in depth conversations), had our first official date Friday, and then last night after we ate he held my face and said that he really didn't need to wait any longer, that he thinks I'm "a remarkable woman" and that he would "be stupid" not to ask me to be his girlfriend. I felt the same way and so then that was that. We laughed (repeatedly) about how weird the whole thing is and how neither of us was even looking and then bam, Cupid struck.
It doesn't matter if they had sex. Boyfriend status after 2 dates is fast, is it not? But if you are happy then great.
It is fast. I agree. But I guess sometimes you just have a feeling? If it ends in disaster, so be it.
He's not sending you pictures of engagement rings or wedding dresses. You're officially dating, not putting deposits down. I think lots of people "know" and it's great that he said what's on his mind. Have fun!
I almost texted you to see if you wanted to get breakfast and then I remembered. Lol

Yeah, no wedding talk yet. Haha. I guess I just don't know what the harm is in being "official" when you actually like someone. It's not like it prevents either one of us from getting out of it if we decide it isn't for us.
I will say, based on what I know of him and what my friend (his friend) tells me, he is not a player and not someone who was even looking for a relationship. If anything, I think both of us were/are perfectly content being single for the rest of our lives.
Ha! We went to the place you and I usually go to and it was his first time there and he loved it!
