A little or big breakthrough? (with Mike)

[CountryWolf07]

Exactly. We both are just on the same level, always have been, and it's a great feeling to have, knowing that Mike does, and I do, too. I was just really scared to be like that in front of him when that happened, because I had no idea what was going on through his head, but, everything is alright. I just kind of look back on that moment and think, I should've not done that, but maybe I should be glad that I did, and got something out of him, a chance to see him explain his side. Eh, either way, I can't wait to introduce him to my grandparents. It is a big deal. =) I've met everyone in Mike's family, and now he will be doing the same.

you know I think it is a good thing it happened. It really give an idea about how solidly he feels for you. Think about it...you cried and all over it so it was something you needed to get out and he didn't freak out and run...he talked to you and explained things. So just from his reaction it shows just how much you mean to him.

And you are right about meeting your grandparents too. It is a big deal and he is all for it. So if you ask me he is definately a keeper and has no intention of going anywhere. He is a good guy and you both fit together so nicely. You make a great couple.

If the words "I love you" easily roll off a man's tongue, I'm automatically suspicious. If you want to be sure whether or not he's the one for you, pay attention to what he does and less to what he says. (unless, of course, he's verbally abusive, which he obviously isn't or you would've mentioned it.) Some men, my late father was one, have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. Others, like my ex-boyfriend, never shut the hell up. I prefer the former.

Sounds pretty special to me

From now on, Rachel, it should get easier and easier. It's so hard to show emotion, affection, etc., if you're not used to it. Some men are openly emotional when others haven't been raised to be like that at all. Not necessarily raised like that in all cases but just not that way.

I think this is the breakthrough you've been waiting for. Mike thinks the sun rises and sets on you. Don't worry about how it happened. You can do no wrong in his eyes. I believe he loves you for everything you are and all you stand for. Hearing him say "I love you" all the time is right around the corner. Happiness always!!!! I love this wonderful relationship!!
