And it starts to dawn on you that you might be dating a fucking dick. Some of those funny quirks you adored early on seem to be striking you as more annoying than funny. The perfect person you found starts to say and do imperfect things. The unicorns turn into horses and then bikes and then one day, you’re not riding anything at all. It goes on like this for a while, but as the months pass, you notice things changing.
You’ve left the rest of shitty humanity behind, and it feels great. Your new relationship is with you all the time, even when you’re not together. Sometimes a platonic friendship forms first and tension builds under the surface until an unexpected kiss lights the friendship on fire.īut there’s usually some first time that this happens: Some people start seeing each other, but they keep things black and white until a “So are we doing this?” conversation makes it official. Some people go on a date, and then another date, and then another, and one day it’s just clear to both of them that they’re in a relationship. There’s not really any normal way to start a relationship.
