A small commitment

So the conversation with B last Wednesday night at Happy Hour went something like this -->

M: So I really have been wanting to talk to you about something. I just want to make sure you're not just stringing me along until you find someone better, because that's what it feels like sometimes. I mean, I really like you, and I think we are great together, but I don't like being anyone's second choice or back up.

B: You're not. I do really like you too, I mean would I be here if I wasn't interested. And believe me, I know, you would never play second fiddle to anyone. You would never be anyone's second choice. There is no one else, I'm only interested in dating you. I'm really bad at talking about this emotion stuff you know?

more talking........

M: So I guess the last thing I wanted to ask about was to tell you that there are guys who are interested and want a commitment. Is it still ok for me to be dating other people?

B: ....silence.....

M: Ok, nevermind, lets just say I didn't ask that.

B: No, hold on a second, I'm just thinking here....... No.

M: No what?

B: No, its not ok for you to be dating other people.

And that was the basics of the conversation. :) and I can't stop smiling, and I'm so ridiculously incredibly happy, and yeah. freaking 11 months..... 11.... 11.

I realize its not the most ideal way to enter into an exclusive relationship, but for Ben, who I tend to believe if my own Mr. Big, this is HUGE step.

I don't really know what's going to happen from here, or if anything is actually going to change, but its pretty exciting.

M!
