Okay as heads up this is part me just getting it off my chest and part advice seeking. We are both 22 for reference.

So I met this wonderful woman on tinder eaelier this week, we hit it off talking about some of our favorite video games and getting to know each other over discord. Our communication was so open and honest, it was so relieving and rejuvenating ☺️. We then make plans to meet up, and it was 2 days ago now that we had our date.

The date went even better, I felt an instant connection with her, the way she talks with me, looks at me, treated me, and understood me just drove me insane and I could feel instant butterflies. We went for a small drive over to a nature path, we get out and start the walk, its p cold outside (below freezing fs) with the wind blowing her secrets at us. We has started holding hands, but when the wind kicked up I latched onto her arm for warmth and asked if that was okay, she said it was wonderful and we turned around to get warm in the car. It felt magical 💖. I invited her back to my place as that was our soft plans for afterwards.

When we got to my place I we go to my room and start talking again, one thing leads to another and we are cuddling and kissing on and off all day. We watched anime and netflix together, shared a bowl of bud together, made her some dinner, talked about some of our views and life experiences, and even some philosophy. I hadnt felt this way in literal years and it was overwhelming how many butterflies were flying inside me, the way she held me and talked to me made me feel like a princess. She stayed the night and we fell asleep holding each other, and I woke up in the same position which was incredible since im a toss’n’turner at night.

Anyhow, it was yesterday she woke up and we parted ways. I havent been able to get that feeling our of my chest and stomach and its making me unhealthily infatuated with her. I mean shes got me writing poetry for her bday already, its BAD.

If anyone has some advice for maybe handling some of those feelings so that I dont scare her off 😅, I think I need a refresher on that.

To clarify, I love the emotions I feel towards her and im not afraid of them, im more so afraid of being overwhelming to her and losing this chance 💖
