Dear Anita,

thank you so much for your kind reply! It feels great to hear that you also sense that this relationship is promising – I think so too!

About your reminder to be in the moment and enjoy time with him rather than planning too much: I have actually done this for the past weeks, and guess what? Now he is also where I am because he told me that he is no longer feeling rushed and won’t hold back anymore. He said he feels a lot for me already and just wants us to enjoy this, so he no longer wants to act overly cautious and hold back his feelings for me. With him I truly feel like I can be myself, and it still amazes me how close we got in only 2 months. Of course we still want to take the steps and really get to know each other (e.g. spending several months together or him spending the whole summer here with me), but now it is different. I no longer feel worried about this, but rather a feeling of being safe and appreciated by him. So the pressure is off now and this makes it so much better and easier to open up to each other.

I am very positive about this relationship and can’t wait to see him in 2.5 weeks!
