Almost 3 months?
So, it seems I can't just count the weeks and say we've been together for 3 months. Oh no. I have to count the actual months. C plays along with my logic but Spadoink puts me in my place and tells me it's not yet three months.
Well, on Sunday it'll be 3 months. And a quick google search tells me that 3 months is an important relationship milestone. Not one that needs to be celebrated, but one where there should be reflection. How are things going? Am I happy? Is he happy? Where are things at?
Am I allowed to reflect before the actual 3 month mark or do I have to wait for the actual day? Or maybe that's all a little too public for this forum. Maybe it's just for me inside my head. I do know I'm very happy about things thus far. Though there are a couple of 'red' flags.
1) Margarine. He uses it. I have no desire to try and 'convert' him. But how can a butter person and a margarine person co-exist in the kitchen? Well, maybe this isn't a huge red flag because he now has butter in his freezer. For when I want to bake. Yes, most girls try to show 'ownership' by leaving a toothbrush and other personal items. Me? I leave butter. Oh. And soon, Vanilla.
2) Football. It's his second job on Sundays, Mondays and some Thursdays. Also, sometimes on Fridays and Saturdays. However, it's only for part of the year. I've never dated someone that watches organized professional sports. And my concern is actually not about the football itself. It's more about the teams he has chosen to cheer on. Dolphins. According to him they suck. According to my dad they suck. Then why the heck did he go to Miami to watch them? And when they were winning on Sunday why was he cheering against them. Yes, there is more to the story. It's called Fantasy Football. I had no idea this crap even existed. And now it's starting to infiltrate my life. And fine, I'll admit, football is actually fun to watch. In small amounts. OH! And he tests me on the team names/cities/states. Is it really supposed to be this much work?
3) Bowling. I just found out that he doesn't like 5 pin bowling and prefers 10 pin bowling. Actually, I bet if he had his way, bowling would only exist on the Wii and XBox Kinect. Nowhere else. I'm still processing this piece of news. I'm not sure how I feel about things yet.
4) Bacon. Yeah. He prefers breakfast sausage. OVER BACON. Is that normal? There must be something wrong with him. Everyone likes bacon. A lot. What does he think he is - Jewish? (Hahaha - wouldn't my mom love that). Again, I only found this out over the weekend. I'm hoping this won't be a dealbreaker. Because... I LOVE BACON. A lot.
I'm hoping this list continues to grow. Because it means I'm getting to know him better and better. And that's the most important thing.
