So I have been dating this man for almost two months now….there I said it, out loud. I have been keeping quiet about it for awhile now but I figure if I have been dating him for this long, I might as well tell you about it him. For now, we will refer to him as The Man. And boy is he a different one than I have EVER dated!
First, he is an Aries, which is the exact opposite of a Libra. This has made the relationship very exciting and frustrating at the same time. “Aries Man – Romance with him will be like a roller coaster ride, where you don’t get even a single moment to think and brood… Consistency is something that does not gel well with his characteristics profile. The love of an Aries male will warm you with passion one minute and the very next minute, you may feel as if you are sitting in the North Pole.” I couldn’t think of a better way to describe my experience!
From the first time we went out it has been this way and with each and every time proving to be the same. I don’t think I have ever met a man that is the exact opposite of me yet the ability to connect on many different subjects and levels. What attracted me first was his mind… I have always been a sap for an intellectual, I am an informational sponge and any man that could feed that need along with having a wonderful conversation is just icing on the cake. I also can’t remember laughing as much as I do with him. Whether we are jokingly harassing each other or telling a story, my belly has definitely had gotten its workout! A frustrating difference between us is that I am an affectionate person. One of those touchy-feely people, that gives hugs and kisses to friends and family whenever I greet or leave them. I don’t hold back and I express my feelings whenever I feel them. He however, is not, especially in public. I will admit that he is much more affectionate within the protection of his home, usually after being together for some time but it is still something I am learning to adapt to. Another difference in our approach to dating is spending only one day a week together. I am ALL for independence, believe me, that was one of the reasons I didn’t want to start dating again was I didn’t have time and my priority in life right now is school. I like having me time and not having a man that wants to make me his world. But after dating a man for 3 months, I would hope to spend a little more time with him. I am not asking for days on end but maybe a phone call every once and a while. Sigh…
The truth is… I like him. Besides my relationship with my BFF Tim, this is the first guy that I started seeing since my engagement and after going through therapy. I enjoy the time that I do spend with him, the adventurous ride that I am being taken on and I am curious to see where it goes. I think we both have something that we can teach each other because of our ability to bring something different to the table. I can’t tell right now if it is a healthy relationship yet, but I will continue on and let it follow its course. He is definitely someone different in my life and couldn’t have thought of a better person to explore my new found road of life with. If this relationship continues on the slow and steady course that it has been, maybe you will hear more about this new Man. Only time can tell…*Smiles*
