This time's the Charm!
*pops in* Hi. I am breaking my month-long radio silence. Lest y'all think nothing has been going on in my life, let me tell you that EVERYTHING has been going on, my life has turned insideoutupsideright for the first time in a long, long time and there is, in fact, a new man.
Pretty much the day after I posted my last entry, I had a lightbulb moment, and He had a lightbulb moment, and so I started dating Tech. Yeah, the I.T. consultant from the office. It's -- I haven't wanted to share it yet because it's so different than any of the other guys from this past year, and it's been so glorious holding it close to me, having this all to myself.
Short story is this: Tech and I have known each other for a year now, he knows me, he is very attracted to me, he has been into me for MONTHS and never made a move until, well, a month ago. Um, here is where I should add that back in the summer, I tried to set him up with serialkarma. *facepalm* "SK, there is this great guy at the office, he's fun and cute and smart and you'd love him!" Um, yeah. (Thank god they met, liked each other, but neither wanted more than to be friends!)
He accepts me, he knows exactly how feisty I am, my ins and outs, and he STILL wants to be with me. Amazing. My lightbulb moment came when we all went out, and at the end of the night I turned to SK and said, "Uh, I think Tech likes me." SK gave me this look like she wanted to clock me and replied, "DUH".
Y'all, he MADLY ADORES ME. He treats me like no other man I have ever met. After he worked up the courage to ask me out on the first date, there was no question that a second, and a third, was going to happen.
THERE WERE SPARKS.
Sparks, like, I don't know, like nothing I'd ever felt and we fit in such strange and unexpected ways.
So of COURSE, er, I've had multiple freakouts: about how fast it's going, about how I am all topsy turvy inside, about how I am going to fuck it up. Then I calmed down and started accepting that this is a Relationship, and that it is Real, and of course promptly had a freakout that I wasn't freaking out.
We talked every day while I was at my parents over the holidays, and I had that moment where I realized that oh my god, I wanted to talk to him every day. I've never felt that before -- I mean, I really wanted to talk to him and coming back to NYC and seeing him was all I could think about. But hey, the accompanying freakout about that was very minor, so: progress! Because I realized that I'm ready -- I am so ready for this, and gahd, I am so fucking lucky that it's with Tech.
I'm happier than I've been in quite some time, and Tech is so good to me. So good, y'all, I can't even tell you how much he adores me and how willing he is to show me; he's so very very generous in all the best ways. He has gotten right the heck up under my skin and ... I like it.
He's fun, he's cute, he's smart, he's dorky and also he'sreallyreallygoodinbed. *delicate cough*
Up next: Updates on Fish! slodwick is coming to town and we're having a party! Expect another post from me shortly on your flist regarding the details.
