Our friends who've been dating for 5 years: "Yeah, we're going to get married next year hopefully right before we move to LA."
Everyone else: "OMG that's amazing! Wait but you guys aren't even engaged?"
Them: "No, we're getting rings made but we're planning for that right now."
*everyone but me and the boy get out of the car while we try to find a parking spot*
Boy: "We're basically kind of on the same boat as them."
Me: "Are we!?"
lol. It still surprises me every time he says things alluding to that "next step" in our relationship. Another one of our friend is moving out of his amazing 3BR apartment and we could try to take over his lease, but we have to decide whether we'd rather get our own place together, or take that apartment and still have roommates. I was sort of cool about either, but he made it seem like he might not be sure if having roommates was something he thinks is right for us a few years down the line.
It seems like now there's a bit of a role reversal. He seems to be thinking at least a slight bit ahead of what the future looks like, even if he doesn't know how to approach it. I, on the other hand, feel odded out every time it appears as if he remotely even considered it to be a factor in our life decisions.
I think this goes to show that I think he has been thinking about it more than I give him credit for in the past, we've only consented to being honest about it ever since that talk in the park where we realized it's okay to have this conversation. Finally. Even though we still never really discussed in details. I have a feeling that's coming up somewhat soon though, if he wants me to start moving out later this year then talk "next steps." Gulp.
