West-

Forever is a long time.

Revel in the here and now and forever will take care of itself.

It's good to hear that things are working out for you.

You left out one issue..... being a conservative.

Jokes aside, you don't need to understand why someone finds you attractive and loves you. Just accept that they do, if you think they are genuine. I'm not sure there is ever an expressible reason *shrug*.

Don't think about 'one day', one day is something you don't need to put yourself through.

You left out one issue..... being a conservative.

Well yes.. that may be one issue... He's such a nice boy, whereas I form part of the axis of evil

We all have our crosses to bear

It's nice to have someone who likes you because you are you, congrats on snagging one of those.

I think Emu is right. You don't need to understand love. In my opinion, love is not a concept one can assess rationally. And mainly, one shouldn't try to do that. Maybe there is some medical explanation - but I don't want to hear that!

"I wouldn't mind a few more inches."

Uhhh, ummmmm.....ok, I won't go there

In all seriousness, you got some great comments above. I know it is easy to start asking yourself why your guy finds you attractive and wondering if it's real when you doubt yourself, but like Emu said, you just gotta believe it and use it to move yourself forward.

Congrats and have fun!

"Love" IS a magical word. It sounds like your guy used it at the right time and to the right effect.

Thankfully, there's more to attraction than body/mass index and missing inches (wherever they may be). There's the sparkle in your eyes, the words you say, the enthusiasm in your voice and so many other things. It's time you start seeing yourself through his eyes .

Also, you will have a strong ally by your side the day you decide to go forward with the coming out process.

Sounds all very good to me. Just give it the time you need to adjust to the new situation.

I agree that im actually pretty lucky.... my guy is very special. More special than he himself realises I suspect... which is one of the reasons i like him so much.

Phoenix is right - i need time to adjust to a new situation. We need time to get to know each other properly.

I'm going to enjoy the ride for now.... today is a day for living and if i spend too much time on what the future might hold, i'm going to miss out on the magic.

Thank you all for your words and support - i draw strength from that.
