*Random long update that probably no one will read*
Things have moved on pretty quickly for me lately. The 'no sex before marriage' thing has turned into 'sex every day, at least once' - and I actually
want this to happen, as I know it's going to be good (before my libido was really low!). Even though there was no immediate spark between us on our first date, it's definitely there now - I get the whole weak knees and racing heart thing when he puts his arms around me. Although he hasn't technically moved in, he's spent every night except one here for the past month. I'm not going to pretend everything's 100% perfect - as with all couples, there are some things that we see differently, but so far these have been a cause for interesting discussion, not conflict.
We're physically very different, and sometimes I feel a little paranoid about being overweight, as I'm aware he's not generally attracted to overweight women. He's never made it an issue, so that's totally my problem that I need to deal with somehow. Aside from my occasional paranoia, I feel very comfortable and relaxed with him, and feel no need at all to put on any airs or graces. He seems more than happy to accept me as I am, quirks an' all. Overall, things are brill. I love him, Keren loves him, my family think he's great, and we're both hoping this can turn into a very long-term relationhsip. I feel very lucky.
Anyway - this is the sex thread, so I'll just say once again - wow, the sex is GREAT! Finally I see what all the fuss is about.
