Foster,
I cannot think of a scenario where I would have the absolute guts to approach me like you did at Elise’s party. I didn’t really know anyone there and I was wondering why Elise invited me in the first place. We’ve barely kept in touch over the years, mostly via absent mindedly liking each other’s IG posts. Rarely running into each other once in a blue moon. So the invitation was a little out of left field, but I needed a night out so why not go? Low stakes, gets me out of the house, and maybe have a drink.
Now that it’s been a few months of us seeing each other, I feel more equipped to let myself love you. Initially, I was overestimating my confidence in navigating a new relationship. I see that now. I felt like a bundle of nerves and awkwardness at times. Feeling like I was always bumbling each step forward with my fear and trepidation. But every time I did end up throwing a wrench into things, you took it like a champ. Which was equal parts disarming and scary. But your golden retriever energy does dovetail into my more reserved approach in an easy, almost effortless way. It certainly has worked its way to my heart. You’ve got me cautiously optimistic and regularly catching myself feeling those excited, nervous flutters at a glance from you. A touch. A kiss.
You’re either not noticing how much you’ve got me blushing like a teenager or you’re too polite to comment on it.
