Learning more about each other
I met AJ's family this week. They were very warm and funny. I always tend to biff first impressions, so I didn't talk a lot and mainly smiled while trying to not to eat my meal in a displeasing manner. So basically ended up shuffling the food this way and that way. Nearly the whole meal was put in a takeout box at the end.
... the next day, he told me that they liked me. He reminded me that as long as they see that he is happy, they are happy for him. I was putting too much pressure on myself to "blow them away". Lol.
Anyways, just happy that he and I are working out now. No more BIG secrets between us, and I'm seeing him become more comfortable with me and opening up on a level that I have only experienced one other time with a partner. (My 4 year relationship in undergrad). So this feels right. I just have to work hard not to mess it up, because that's what I tend to do when things feel too good.
