I (23f) am seeing (38m) and I just love him. I don’t know why but I just do and it overwhelms me. We’ve only known each other for a few short months but I think about him every second, want to see him every second, want to know how he is, what he’s doing, how was his day, did he eat, all of that lol.

He shows signs of liking me, he texts me everyday, he knows me like the back of his hand (especially my moods), he includes me in future plans, spends every bit of freetime with me and he’s a very busy man, teaches me new activities he likes to do like fishing etc, takes me on dates, does things to make me happy, listens to me when I talk.. I feel so heard with him… but we just are friends I guess because we never ever have the conversation of what are we/ what are we doing.

My therapist begs me to bring it up to him because he may be feeling the same way I do, but I just cant help but overthink that someone whose been married before and had their heart broken wants to resettle down with someone my age. I just sometimes feel like men enjoy being single and i’m afraid to get my own feelings hurt by bringing up the conversation thinking he may not feel no where near how I feel about him. I feel like he’s my safe space, my person, I feel comfortable with him.
