Made it 6 Months

S and I made it to the 6-month mark last week. It's really not all that long, but it's a milestone when dating.

I have met a lot of his family members at various family functions and they all were well behaved. LOL! I didn’t just say that, did I? ;-) At the last function a couple weeks ago, his Dad stumbled and then introduced me as S’s “friend” to the neighbor’s daughter. Huh? Talk about awkward. I’m more than a friend (and he knows that). S says he’s not sure why his Dad did that. S has briefly met most of my family. They’re all dysfunctional... what can I say? At least my Dad introduced S to my aunt as my BF, and didn’t miss a beat.

In some ways, the comfort level is such it feels like we’ve known each other for much longer than 6 months. In other ways, it still feels like 6 months because of uncertainties that crop up every now and then. Usually I am not an insecure person so when I get to feeling that way, it weirds me out. So far, we’ve been able to talk through these issues. Afterwards, I think to myself: What have I done? I really don’t want to come off like a needy insecure woman. So then that bothers me. *sigh* With all the changes going on, maybe I just want to know everything is OK. Dunno.

Much to my surprise, we haven’t had any big blowout arguments. Still waiting for the shoe to drop on that one – maybe that’s because I’m used to my ex’s temper flaring out of control over the dumbest things. IMO, S and I interact pretty well and enjoy each other’s company.
