Anita,

There were some things that were different with him than others before him. He was the first guy of my age, from the same country who had also travelled and lived abroad, had the same outlook and ambitions, curiosity about life and other cultures. We just clicked on spontaneity, wanting to go out and socialize and I guess got hooked on curiosity about each other. We met through a friend/acquaintance group and we kind of took it slow, had a long flirt before something ever happened between us physically. Not to get too romantic, but it was almost like we already knew about our mutual like for each other before articulating anything and yet it was so fast. Like mentioned earlier, I was a bit slower to act on anything, while he was ready to go quite fast.

He is also special to me because he was the first person I shared sexual experiences with with such mutual attraction and intimacy. It was always special to me to be with him, and I always felt very vulnerable with him because of that. I guess I thought I had found something that would last way way longer than it did because of these factors.
