Even better

It's amazing how sometimes what you've been looking for is right in front and best of all it was there when you weren't even looking. They say all things in good time. True enough. It took four months. It's amazing how within a month of deciding not to hold back and take chances I've come to further know someone who actually impresses me and takes my breath away. I mean, someone who holds my hand and makes my heart skip beats off of a genuine connection. We've been cool for some time now and have built a solid common ground foundation . We began building a friendship with complete comfort and ease.

Yesterday, we went out for the third time in the week. The chemistry is ridiculous. My heart was pounding majority of the time. Here is a man who knows how to treat a woman and who understands a strong woman when he sees one. Here's a man who knows what to do and puts it on the table, no holds no bars. He's got the whole list in his hand. I keep waiting for him to do something that will make me raise a brow but he's holding it down.

Last night was amazing. We finally shared our first kiss and it was exactly what I've been holding out for.. passionate and intimate. He held my hand most of the night without being clingy and the energy between us was electrifying. We understand each other and we connect on so many levels that it overwhelms me. I've been wanting to meet someone who sees things eye to eye with me. He teaches me. We introduce each other to new things. He understands how woman are and how to treat them without thinking of us as illogical. He understands me and doesn't rush to judgement. I love it when I have a slow moment and he points out that I'm a smart woman and then I connect the dots. He respects me and my opinions without being condescending when he disagrees. He treats me the way I deserve to be treated and he doesn't try to win me over with mind games or bullshit lines. He just comes real and correct.

I told him how I was stressing out and anxious and he pulled me into his arms as we sat in front of my house and he just held me .We sat together in an embrace for about three hours just talking and listening to music with passionate kisses thrown about. It just felt right. No pressure. Just a man who genuinely cares and knows how to listen and support a woman. I didn't even have to say anything. The embrace was more than enough. This kiss sealed it.I like that he doesn't assume anything. I'm myself with him. I'm bold with him and he handles it. He keeps up with me. There's a peace between us. Every time we talk about certain things it amazes how much we are on the same page. He doesn't have to wait to let me know how he feels. We're direct with one another. Nothing is unsaid. He reminds me of how strong and intelligent I am and keeps me encouraged when I freak out about an exam. He just knows how to be a real man for a real woman, and it is because he is one.

The more we get to know one another, the more excited he makes me, and the more I notice how he does the little things, the important things, the more thankful I am that I've met someone who complements me. I don't regret any of my past experiences. I would not have been able to recognize a good man if I hadn't had to deal with all sorts that came up short.

The best part is I am not even scared to let whatever happens happen. Regardless of what happens in the future between us, it has been worth it getting to know him thus far.
