I’m 5’7” ~280, so obviously not small in either size or height. Most of the people I date are either shorter than me or lighter than me and it can make me feel self conscious.

Last night I went on a second date with someone. He’s very tall and goes to the gym a lot. When we were at his place he actually lifted me into the air. Like a full rom-com my legs around his waist in the air kinda lifted me up and kiss me kind of lift. I was so scared the first time it happened because I really thought it was going to be really embarrassing for both me and him when he couldn’t lift me up and I was already nervous about getting naked in front of someone with an 8 pack.

He literally just scooped me up like I weighed nothing and kept kissing me. I told some of my smaller friends but I don’t think they understood that I never ever thought that was something I was going to experience. I feel so happy and cute today because of this.

I just needed to share to a community who will hopefully understand how good it feels to feel normal like that.
