the signs

Dear Diary,

I think he's in love with me. Let me count the ways, darling:

1. He's too protective - doesn't want me to do a lot of things he deems risky
2. He asks about my schedule, and always says "see you" when hell, we're living in the same house.
3. wants me to meet his friends and vice-versa
4. wants to go to the country
5. plans my future and sometimes "our" future
6. keeps saying "we"
7. doesn't want to tell his age and wouldn't ask for mine - afraid it would burst the bubble or pose a threat/issue
8. compliments me almost daily
9. would talk to me for hours, and abandon his work/gym or anything he was planning to do
10. being a total gentleman - opens the doors, lets me in first, etc

I hope I'm mistaken, though. But all the signs I usually see in the opposite sex (my age most of the time) are present. I had to find a way, so I asked for everyone's birthday. I really wanted to know the birthdays so I wouldn't miss a special day. But I wanted him to know that I'm less than half his age. He's even older than my parents! He kept avoiding that fact.

It took only 2 weeks. 17 days tomorrow. Even the first week already had an effect. I only wanted a friend, a companion, a buddy - someone that will have my back if something happens to me in this foreign land. And I'd do the same for that person too. But I got more than I bargained for, I got a family and someone who treats me so well it scares me so.

Just one thing, though - we split the bills. no monetary indebtedness. haha.

2 weeks passed. 21 weeks to go. :)
