So there's this guy, right?
Feb. 4th, 2006 04:44 amSince my last debacle of a romantic attachment, there have been a couple of people who have made me think "I could fall in love with this person."
Right now, I'm sort of in the same situation, except I'm thinking "I want to fall in love with this person."
He puns. We have epic battles of punnery on every conceivable subject, and he's really good and quick and makes me laugh and makes me think and makes me marvel at the English and French languages (some of his puns are puns in both languages at the same time!). We duel with rapier wit. He spurs me to greater depths, and vice versa.
He loves camping. We spent an hour today talking about various types of canoe, and their relative merits.
He likes science fiction, and agrees that too many shows have pointless sex scenes to make up for writing flaws.
He's genuinely kind, and thoughtful - I mentioned I had a cold, and two days later he was asking how my cold was.
He's silly, and his growing-up-process didn't involve forgetting how to play like so many seem to have done.
Most importantly, he treats me like an equal. None of this chivalry nonsense - he knows dang well I can look after myself, and conducts himself accordingly.
I have such a crush on this man. I think he likes me too. And screw "I want to fall in love with him" - I think I'm halfway there already, and it makes me smile and terrifies me at the same time, because I've been down a similar road and I am _not_ good girlfriend material, and I don't want to hurt him. On the other hand, I'm an adult now, and he's a man not a boy, and I've never had a relationship between adults before. Maybe I'll be better at it?
