If I haven't said it before my man lives out of town so although we've dated for over six months we haven't spent tons of time together. We haven't vacationed together, we haven't spent more than two nights together and we haven't done many things together outside of my home. Even our phone conversations are short, he's not the phone talker type.
Tonight while having our daily phone convo I said I wanted to know more about what makes him happy, what an ideal day looks like to him. I went on for a couple of minutes. Angsty, anxiety ridden conversation because that's how I roll when I'm nervous. He simply said, "I think those are things we figure out about each other as time goes on." He knows how to quiet me instantly. Quiet my spinning mind. I then thanked him for being so smart and we went into a jokey conversation about how it must be hard being smarter than the entire world.
I like how this man is. He's really not trying to help me, he's just offering a simpler take on things I complicate. He doesn't tell me what to think or how to think, it's just that how he responds speaks to me. He grounds me. For his part I think he likes how easy I am to re-direct.
