“I’m attracted to you and I think you’re really cool but I don’t feel connected to you” said the man I’d been dating for seven months or so. I had recently expressed a desire to escalate the intimacy between us, by sending him a wall of text. After he got over his initial feelings about a wall of text seeming to make demands out of nowhere, he got curious about what I was asking for and found he was open to it. When we discussed this in person, he said those words me.
You write so beautifully that I can forget for a moment how much pain and failure there is (for me) in the fact that "There is so much I can’t say because the silence smothers me."
Oh this is loveliness. And I really relate. I always feel most capable in writing, and it’s so hard when that’s not what other people are comfortable receiving. But this is a joyful story.
This is beautiful and inspiring. 🥰
