I met her nearly two years ago while we did a short stint at study abroad together. I remember how attracted I was to her at the get go and trying to figure out if she would reciprocate. I realized on that trip that she wasn’t into women so I put my straight face on and just let us be friends. I’ve thought fondly about our little adventures since then.

FASTFORWARD TO NOW... Over the summer she asked me to get dinner with her once we got back to school... and so we did!! I remember having a bawling panic attack before going out to meet her because fuuuuuck I remembered the way she made me feel. I kept my straight face on and went out to dinner and it was.... amazing. We talked through the whole night, the connection was electric and my face hurt so much from laughing. It felt like a date. We followed that up with amusement parks, art shows, concerts, dinners, walks in the park, nights at the beach.... Until I decided this had gone on for long enough.

Soooo I told her I really liked her and she reciprocated!? She told me over the summer she had really been working on herself and remembered how I made her feel all that time ago and wanted to see where it would lead (She has a past w a lot of identity suppression as a kickass tomboy). We kissed and everything fell into place.

She’s so confident and sexy and I just needed someone to hear me. She’s never been w a female before (I have) and it blows me away how easy she makes this for me. Where I might still be nervous to hold her hand in public or show affection, she’s right there and doesn’t give a duck. I am so inspired having her in my life and no one told me it could be this good!
