So the meeting of Jen and R went quite swimmingly, I must say…when we left to go grab a bite to eat, he said, “Jen is very cool. I can see why you two are such good friends. She really brings you out.”

Aww…

R also got positive reviews from Jen. 🙂

So yeah, I’m not really sure what I was so worried about…other than the fact that it’s kind of a “step.” We’re still in that ambiguously undefined territory, enjoying whatever it is that we’ve got going, but still not quite naming it. Which, actually, is okay with me. It’s fielding the questions from others that’s the hard part.

Jen was on the phone with John when we came home, and Jen had apparently (I think) referred to R as my “friend.” And John wanted to know if he was “just a friend.” I didn’t have a response to offer. I just smiled, and probably blushed a little.

Well…definitely more than “just a friend.” I think we’ve effectively established that fact…

This man is completely unlike anyone I’ve ever dated before. Ever. And this is, I think, a very, very good thing.

He’s intelligent, witty, charming.

He makes me laugh.

He inspires me.

He makes me feel beautiful.

Every moment I spend with him, I learn a little bit more about him. I like what I’m learning, and I want to learn more…
