It has been an eventful week.

On Saturday I was on a 22.5 hour date. We met at a used book shop, went to a cafe, then the city park, and then I was at her place until 2:30 the next day :)

She had said she was only looking for something casual, which didn't really seem to match up with "hey we just spent 22.5 hours together, and a large portion of it was like cuddling and talking about our families"

Soo I wrote her, and we talked about it, and she stayed pretty set that she wasn't looking for anything serious. So (and this is where I'm proud of my progress), I said, if we're not looking for the same thing, we should probably break things off. She said wait, she just doesn't know how she feels. Let's talk personally.

So, yesterday. We met at the park by her place to talk.

Basically, I told her that it's fine if she doesn't want to immediately go into something super-serious (that's also not how relationships work), my problem is just if she says from the beginning that anything serious is off the table. Which she was actually mostly fine with, to my surprise. She just told me how she had had a FWB thing with her best friend that had ended really badly, so she's worried about something like that happening again.

Basically, I asked her to trust me, and said that we can go slowly. She seemed to really want to try, and we agreed to take it slow but try properly dating. We got lunch today and it was really nice :)

Starting class tomorrow! So excited. Doing a couple cultural studies seminars (ugh), couple linguistics courses (nice) and a literature class. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of the semester :)
