Hi.

So. I've met a great woman a bit more than a month ago. I'm madly in love with her.

Thing is, 2 days ago she expressed she was in love with me too.

I am happy, giddy, jumpy, but I also feel safe, content and secure.

We are able to have really serious conversations about our feelings, how we're feelings things develop, what it might mean for the future, and what it means right now.

The thing is. Before I felt a need to fight for a potential relationship. I felt like I was constantly gauging her interest, figuring out my own interest, wondering if she really liked me or not.

And now... I'm not fighting like that anymore. But, I've never experienced not having that fight, and it's making me feel like I'm doing something incorrect? Like I'm not feeling enough?

When we interact, my heart is racing like crazy, but after she went to bed, I was able to completely focus on other things, and for an hour or 2 not think about her. That was the first time I didn't think about her for an hour or 2.

And now I'm left wondering if that is because I'm losing NRE, or whether I'm finally experiencing security and happiness in a healthy relationship, or maybe I might not love her as strongly as I think I do because I'm no longer fighting to receive her love?

I can't imagine a life without her, I want her to meet everyone important in my life, I want to share my life with her. So how can I not be in love with her? What the hell does this lack of drive right now mean?

If anyone has any insights... It'd be much appreciated.
