All The Small Things

I’m not giving him the old heave ho or anything – exactly the opposite actually.

 

Tomorrow I’m going to introduce GM to my beautiful Nicky.

 

And then to my family.

 

I’m a bit torn about how I feel about the whole situation I guess. I’m not even remotely concerned about him meeting Nicky – I know that she’s just going to love him. There is something just infinitely likable about him. I think it’s the no-BS factor. Children are particularly good at picking people who are full of crap, and Nicky is a superb judge of character.

 

As for him liking her, well he just better. Because she’s my girl and I love her, and liking her is not a negotiable trait in a prospective partner. If he doesn’t like her then that will be it. All over red rover.

 

Again, I’m not terribly worried that that will happen. She’s just about the most delicious little person you’ve ever laid eyes on, and she’s an angel child. She’s very lovable. Takes after her mother really. *dusts knuckles on shirt*

  

My family on the other hand is an interesting prospect.

 

I can see that he will get along with my Dad – if anything I’d be more concerned that he’ll end up (like so many before him) preferring to spend time with my Dad than with me. They have a fair bit in common.

 

Mum on the other hand I can see being completely perplexed by him. She’s a very spiritual person, and she’s on this kick at the moment about your body being a reflection of your emotional state.

 

In which case I’m sure she’s going to have a field day with him!

  

Tomorrow night we are also going out on our very first DATE! We had this discussion on Sunday morning about how we’d never actually been out on a date before. And he say’s “I’m a bit slack aren’t I. Have to do something about that I reckon.”

 

I said it didn’t really bother me. And it doesn’t. While I appreciate romance, and being squired about like a princess, and hitting the town with a hot man on my arm as much as the next person, I don’t need that from him. He treats me so beautifully each and every time that I see him that I really don’t need him to do anything else. I know that I’ve had a sook in the past when men just jumped the dating stage and leapt into couch cuddles in slippers stage.

 

I don’t feel that we’ve jumped the dating stage at all. I don’t feel that he’s taking me for granted, or that he doesn’t think that I’m worth the effort of taking out, which is where I was coming from in my previous sooks.

 

It feels so very different with GM.

 

I prefer the natural, gentle, homely way that our relationship is developing. He treats me like I’m something incredibly precious and valuable, and the way he looks at me makes me feel so very beautiful.

  

I hope everything goes well tomorrow.
