It happened. An actual boy talked to me, and now we are dating. It was all very unexpected, but I am very happy that it happened. The experience is new, and I am still in the process of understanding what it is like to be in a serious relationship.

Someone new entering your life gives you a wide range of emotions. It can be scary, but very exciting. When we first started to get to know each other, there was a constant feeling of nervousness and uncertainty that made me feel extremely cautious of what I said or how I presented myself. As our conversations got longer and more in depth, I soon realized that he really understands me. Our friendship progressed, and I soon felt comfortable. He also started to feel comfortable with me, and that made me happy.

I'm used to being alone and just doing my own thing. Having to sacrifice some time for someone else was an adjustment but it is worth every second. Having someone there to share a meal with at the end of the day, especially when you are so far from home, is definitely nice. He is there for me no matter what and actually cares about what I have to say. He is also a sweetheart who always makes me laugh, which is by far one of his best qualities (but I'm still the funnier one). Not only does he have a decent sense of humor, but he is smart, weird (in a good way) and of course, he knows how to treat a lady. Oh, did I mention that he is pretty good looking?

The greatest thing that has come out of this relationship is the friendship we have built. Even though we have only known each other for about five months, I consider him as one of my best friends. He is one of the most genuine people i know.

We have gone through a lot so far, and it has definitely been memorable. As you can see, I am extremely grateful and happy to have this new, positive person in my life.

For those who have given up in finding a nice guy, there are still some out there. In time, especially when you are not looking for it, someone will enter your life. When they do, you will see everything is worth the wait.
