So, we
met in January and started getting together regularly, usually about once or twice a week, mostly we would have hot sex and chat a few minutes and make a date for the next time.
Somewhere in that first month, I broached the subject of relationships, to see if he might be interested at all: "Do you ever see yourself having a boyfriend?" I asked.
"No" was his quick reply. He had tried it once and he figured he was not boyfriend material.
Oh well, I thought. We got that out of the way so we'll just carry on having fun and hanging out.
After about a month, we both thought to explore whether we had anything in common besides hot sex, so we started going for dinner, walks and movies. Turns out that aside from the sex, we also shared a lot in common, including a lot of laughing.
Couple of months later and I am starting to have feelings for this guy, but I remember what his views on boyfriends are so I am getting nervous. If I fall for him and he still doesn't want a boyfriend then I am left with a broken heart and more pain than I care to have at the time. Time to talk.
So we talk and it turns out Greg is feeling the same things I am but is very afraid of these feelings. I remind him that we are going slowly, that I am not asking him to move in with me, not asking him to marry me. I just want to know if it is POSSIBLE, that we might be boyfriends someday. He says: "Yes, it's possible." My heart floats and I continue to fall in love.
For some insight on Greg's process, you can read his post around about the same time as all this is developing:
You can see right through me.
On March 17th, 2003, we drove out to the Playdium for an evening of video games and frivolity. On the way, we talk about being boyfriends and Greg blurts out quickly that he is ready to say we are boyfriends, to commit.
That was 3 years ago today. I still wonder at how happy I am and how easy all this has been!
Thank you, darling! I love you and Happy Anniversary!
