I’ve been living in Turkey for 4.5 years which on paper seems long but it has flown by! At 5 years I’m able to apply for citizenship which I am planning on doing because it’s much easier to work here.
So last night I was on my mid week date. We have decided on this one bar/restaurant to be our place. It was so full so we went to this other restaurant and ate sub par food. Got annoyed with that place and the table distance (cause we are like 15 or something) and went to our usual place.
Anyways my point is we were sitting there and joking about what I’ll change my name to when I get my citizenship. I kept throwing out my favorite names that I’ve heard and some funny ones. He’s just all smiles and says “I already have a name for you don’t worry about it” I smiled back not sure if I was understanding correctly. “Are you saying we will get married?” I asked him. He continued to smile. I leaned across the table and kissed him. I confessed to him the thought had crossed my mind. I also reminded him he asked about kids earlier and where I would want to get married and who would be there.
2.5 weeks after we met and we are talking about marriage. 7 days ago I became his girlfriend. Da fuq is happening here??
Do I think I will marry him? I don’t know. It’s too soon to say. But he and I are thinking the same way and that makes me feel really good about everything.
My friends think we are disgusting. One look at our messages and you would think we were in high school. I like it though. It’s very stress free. But don’t all relationships start that way?
What I do know is I am happy. And for now I’m taking that and running with it.
