What suits you right is better company

All you want is company
But they don't treat you right
No, they won't let you be

You'll never be with anybody if you cherry-pick every little thing about them. Literally nobody's perfect. But if someone makes you happy--really genuinely happy--you can overlook and overcome. It's just not the end of the world if things don't work out, so if someone speeds up your heart rate every time you think about them, it's worth a try. That's all we can really do with anything in life is try.

And that's what I'm doing: really trying. See, I've met someone new, who, right now, is the bee's knees. Now I've met a few people in the last year who who either turned out to be no good or turned out to want nothing to do with me. That's just the way things have worked out... if all that hadn't happened, this new person's timing wouldn't have been so perfect.

I live by timing. I swear by timing. I fucking pray by timing. (I don't pray, but I timing is my religion. You get it).

I do have a lot to say about this person, but I'm going to save that for my next post because the first part of this post has a reason. He's not perfect. If I were being picky, I may have kicked him to the curb by now because of certain things that, even earlier this year, would be definite deal breakers for me. But I gave him a chance, and so far I'm not regretting it. In fact, I'm very much enjoying every minute of it.

His company is such a nice change from what I'm used to. He's not sleazy in the slightest. Like, he didn't try to sleep with me on the first date... or the following dates. He's actually been a major gentleman, and that's really what won me over. That and he has taken me out on actual dates where we actually do something. None of that "Netflix and Chill" bullshit. He's a total Yes-Man who is down for anything, AND he has gotten along extremely well with my friends. He inspires me to say "yes" to more things because adventures are fun.

He's special because I've never been a super affectionate person in relationships. For example, I don't call people "babe" or any pet names (I call actual pets "baby" all the time though). I'm affectionate with a person who I'm into in the sense that I want to touch them a lot. Like just have my hand on their arm or their leg. But something I've always been uncomfortable with is kissing people anywhere not on the lips. Like if I'm dating, I'll kiss you on the lips. What I won't do is kiss you on the cheek or the face... unless you're this guy. I'm all about kissing his face all the time over and over again. Because he's extremely sweet and very, very adorable.

To be continued.
