Isn't it LOVELY!?

My first week of knowing Rich proved to be an enjoyable one. Friday he picked me up after work and we went for a motorcycle ride and out for ice cream. He actually managed to carry on more of a conversation, so that was nice.
Sunday, after the folks left, he came by. He got to meet Seth, which to me is one of the most important people for him to meet, and that went well. After Seth took off we spent the evening talking and watching movies.
Monday morning I woke up to feelings of doubt concerning us and whether this is even a good idea. I spoke with a few trusted friends and they convinced me that the doubt I had was due to the fact that I've NEVER had a "decent" guy in my life. Therefore, I don't know how to react. I don't realize that what I'm feeling is normal and acceptable. The hard part is convincing myself that I DESERVE a good guy in my life. Fortunately, Rich is somewhat aware of what I've gone through in the past - and I believe he's sensitive to that. Not to mention, a part of him is looking for approval and acceptance. I mean, hell, his wife CHEATED on him! That can't be good to the ol' self esteem. So, in actuality, he needs me as much as I need him.
Monday night I got to go to his place. The over logical side of me knows that we may be seeing too much of each other too quickly. But the emotional side feels comfortable with him and doesn't believe that limitations should be placed in matters of the heart. We talked for a long time about everything. He's very affectionate and attentive. He listens and pays attention. And he started opening up more about his family and his childhood.
I don't know if I'll see him tonight. I do know we have plans for this weekend. And I'm already hoping that he hangs around long enough to make Tampa with me. Everyone is pulling for us, so hopefully all the good vibes and well wishes will work for us!
