Hello all, been sooo busy lately, but I have a chance now to catch up with ya all,, and to fill you all in.. Well I met the most wonderful man. We have been IMing for about a month, and decided to take the risk and meet for a coffee, real quick thing, which turned into dinner,, (he was so much more handsome than his pics he had sent me, yeah!) After he walked me to my car and we hugged goodbye,, we texted each other a little that night too.. Then the next night we met for dinner again,, and the next dinner and a movie,,It has been the best 2 weeks I have ever had.. and well, we have pretty much jumped right into it...

Now I know this is soo sudden,He has met my son, I've met his daughter's, 11 and 6 and we all had Easter together today, and the kids got along well and we went Easter shopping for the kids basket's together, and it is a wonderful feeling..

With my EH, we were buddies, and my EX "IT" who stomped me it was a desperate, passionate clingly controlling love, with Josh, it's a silent understanding?? I dont really know how to explain it, we just fit.. The passion is there, the laughter, I know I know alot will think I'm being crazy, I just have to go with it..

So now I'll be reading all the news and catching up, and doing some damage on that solid milk chocolate bunny,, Happy Easter All!!

I think I know how you feel. I think I FEEL how you feel. funnyguy and I have that same sort of "it" factor. He's met my kids and friends, and tonight he met my immediate family (father, mother, sister in law, brother) and everything is just going well.

I'm not overthinking, and I don't think you are, either. It can be a huge risk, but some risks are worth taking.

I think, at least for me, that I'm so used to being cautious and controlling every aspect of my emotions, not being in control was a completely new feeling for me. I don't feel the need to guard my heart with funnyguy- it's just right.

I'm glad you had a great Easter together, and please keep us updated!

Moody, flying high

Ah, love is in the air! I'm feeling it here, too. Hiker and I had a nice stay-in date on Saturday night, and then shared some group family time on Sunday for Easter. He made dinner for the whole crowd (my boys and I joined him at his house with most of his kids and grandkids) and we had a nice time for the evening.

Things with us have always been "easy" where it didn't feel like we had to force anything to happen. Things just happened, and grew and developed in its own way, on its own time. And it's not like we haven't put any energy into it- because we have to make time to see each other (both of us with busy lives and kids)- but it has still been easy, even with the time contraints. The simple things we do mean alot, and the big things we do are fun and it's nice that they don't have to mean everything. It's just plain enjoyable and fun and easy and loving and NICE. The passion is there, the support is there, the friendship is there... I couldn't ask for more. :-)

It warms my heart to read about others having the same things happening! I hope it keeps on developing for you both (and for everyone else here to FIND IT) and that it is just as magical and as real as it can get.

Hiker and I have been dating for just over a year and a half... so it didn't happen immediately (although alot of it HAS been present all that time, too) but it just seems like it keeps on getting deeper as time goes on. Kinda scary (about how deep it goes, meaning vulnerability) but it's also exactly what I want because I can trust him to do what he can to take care of me (and vice versa).
