While I have yet to utter the words "you're my boyfriend" to "Joey", it certainly feels like that is exactly what we are. My friends keep asking me "so, is he your boyfriend?" and so far I have offered vague responses. But if you ask me right now if he is, well, I would have to say FUCK AND YES!
This revelation did not result from some dramatic display of affection, such as a "Say Anything" moment:

But there didn't need to be. Last night we were a little drunk, laying on my couch watching TV, his arms wrapped around mine...it just felt so, normal. Or maybe a better word is "right". Though it's still early in our relationship, I have yet to feel so "right" with another guy.
My past experiences with dating men have taught me to be careful, perhaps even hesitant, but with "Joey" there is none of that. OK, maybe there is a tiny bit of doubt, but with every phone call, every kiss, every little thing he does serves to prove to me that this shit is indeed real.
On Thursday a good friend of mine (Go D!) having met "Joey" says to me "I can tell he really likes you". And if it wans't already blatantly, annoying obvious, I like him. Very. Much.
