I’ve never been so comfortable with that idea until now, nor have I ever been interested in someone and felt so calm and not obsessed with everything they did. I always thought I wouldn’t be able to find someone who meets my standards, and I’ve even been single my whole life, going on a literal handful of dates. But he meets them, is kind and considerate to me and others, and outside of his personality, he is physically attractive to me. I feel confident and secure around him, but all of this is just what I feel. I have no clue how he feels, and while hints have been dropped, they could easily be misconstrued.

Maybe it’s just an adult crush, but I truly see him as a long-term partner.
