-exactly-. johnathon and i have nothing in common, seriously... but we laugh constantly, and seem to have everything to talk about. he genuinely cares about what i have to say, and listens to me and respects my opinions...
for the longest time i felt like love, relationships, blah blah were based entirely on finding someone that understood and completely related to you. and now i'm seeing that that's bullshit. opposites attract, completely. he's everything i thought that i never wanted, and just saying his name in my head gives me chills. it's totally insane and amazing and i'm seriously not saying i love him, but there is definitely potential there.
we've been friends for about eight months now, and constantly denying that there was anything there. everyone else seemed to see it before we did, and we were both so different from one another that i guess he felt the same way i did and figured that it wouldn't work. and here it is, finally, and it's so right that i don't even know what to think about it.
I'm really happy for you. What's great about feeling this way is that you're not only really psyched about the person you're seeing, but you're also relieved to have found someone you can put your faith into. When I met Matt I was on cloud nine, and I thought to myself "YES! I can believe in love again!!"
Even though Matt doesn't understand me or relate to me all the time, and even though we have completely different interests and backgrounds, he's someone who completes me. And I mean that in the most non-sappy way possible. We both have qualities that the other person lacks, and it really grounds the both of us.
Also, it's great that you've been friends with him for a while. When people start dating, they put up these fronts and act in ways they normally wouldn't. You *know* him, and he knows you, and so you can trust your feelings toward him THAT much more.
Anyway, don't worry about rambling! Shit, dude. I'm the queen of ramble.
