Dating : Moving on from a long term relationship with little passion to following my heart
I posted this in a comment somewhere but:
I was in a long term relationship for 6 years that was going south. Had a crush on another girl (NOT the reason my ex and I broke up). Recently went with my crush and other friends in our friend group to the Bucks game 6 in Milwaukee at the deer district where crowds were ridiculous. We held hands through the crowds and kept each other close. There was a point where we were just standing and holding hands watching the game. Honestly, I’ve never felt such a rush like that with my ex. It was amazing. Her hands are the softest I’ve ever felt and I could’ve held them for hours. Never felt this with my ex.
We’re really good friends. But to my knowledge, she didn’t know I liked her, especially since I’m coming out of a long term relationship. But our interactions always seem a bit too flirty for just friends and we make each other laugh a ton. The 2 of us drove 1.5 hours to and from the game and we have such great conversations that are very open and authentic.
I ended up confessing to her after the game when I dropped her off at like 2:30AM. She was smiling a ton and I couldn’t stop blushing or having a goofy grin. She was really thankful I told her instead of keeping it to myself. Didn’t reject me or reciprocate though. We agreed I should be single for a while after my LTR, but I really hope this goes somewhere down the road. She agreed to be my +1 for some upcoming weddings so I’m super excited for that. We’re also going to the bars tonight with some friends so we’ll see how that goes 😅
We’re both in our mid to late 20’s, but I honestly haven’t felt something like this since my teens. It’s exciting.
