Well to start the new year off I can happily say that I have a girlfriend.
Being socially awkward made dating really hard. But I did have relationships in the past. The longest being 10yrs. Ended in a bad breakup. After that I didn't bother with dating. I was settled with the idea of being a bachelor for life. I felt nothing wrong with it.
My girlfriend, well we are colleagues. We've always worked together for the past 2yrs and she's very outgoing and fun to be around. Our work projects always made it possible for us to travel together and that's where it all started I guess.
Always working that we ended up eating dinner together while working and that sort. We just sort of fell into a routine.
Which led to us spending my birthday together. She actually surprised me by visiting me that day. And then we spent the holidays together as well.
I got sick new year's eve and she was there to take care of me. I already liked her even before that. I mean she's a catch to begin with. After I got better I confessed my feelings to her. It was the scariest thing I ever felt doing.
Since we don't have the same culture she just listened to my confession and then smiled at me.
I started to feel like a fool when I saw that. But my anxiety disappeared when she said she felt the same way about me.
So now we're a couple. And it's the most wonderful start for the new year for me.
