Patience is a virtue, I guess in How we’re feeling about him

I’m obviously very happy about the fact that we’re now dating, but I’m wondering if maybe we’re rushing it. It’s been a month since we started talking, and I guess that’s not super early, and if we both want it then there’s nothing wrong with it, but I feel like we’re still getting to know each other, and things can still be a little stiff and awkward, but idk if we should be going through this as a couple or not. I know that we can continue to get to know each other while we’re dating, but it’s just a little weird to me that I’m dating someone that I’m still not completely comfortable with. I think it’s just my romance books and movies that have made me delusional asf😭 of course you don’t just automatically get super close and comfortable with someone just because you gave the relationship a title. You’ve still known them for the same amount of time as you did before you were together. Because that’s all it is, a title. Of course that title has significance and implications, like exclusivity and intimacy, but I guess I forgot that giving it a name won’t make it instantly better, deeper, or more enjoyable. I just want to skip forward in time to when we’re already comfortable enough for forehead kisses and cuddles, and to when we’ve known each other for long enough to know the other person’s icks and turn ons, sense of humor and boundaries. I guess I just have to be patient, because I know we’ll definitely get there, probably sooner rather than later.
