Is in a relationship with...

Okay, let’s get it out of the way. I’ve rejoined facebook.This time though, I’m not going to fill my pages with all the time-wasting games; all those applications that steal my pretty pointless personal details (yeah, go on, steal my identity; for the most part you’ll find it pretty ordinary and like anyone else’s) – really I’m not going to, and I’m not in denial. But that’s not what this is about. One of the things I like, although can be abused, is spying on people’s relationship status. And, one of the first things that happened to me when I joined was that my status changed almost immediately to “being in a relationship with”

Somewhere around the beginning of the year I met someone on twitter. Not that you actually can meet people on twitter, 140 characters isn’t really that much to say much. But, in so much as you can meet, we met. Ups and downs in each other’s lives, we stayed in touch, gave each other 140 characters worth of comfort, support and encouragement. All of which led to, a couple of weeks ago, the pair of us getting in touch in a bigger sense. No longer limited to 140 characters, we chatted. We talked. We saw there was more to us than just friends and last weekend we met in person for the first time.

Everything we felt, everything we thought, everything. Apart from a little pre-meeting nervousness it was perfect. It was like we’d always been in each others’ lives. We gelled. We fitted together like a well thought out simile. The weekend passed quickly, but we made the most of it. I don’t think either of us had smiled so much before.

The weekend saw us spending every moment together. She showed me some of the people and things that make up her life. We walked, met family and enjoyed the sights and sounds, the scenery and so on. Just enjoying being together, be we walking the dog on the field or sitting watching the tv; cuddling in front of shows whose names I forget; slow dancing to the radio.

Everything was perfect. Everything was what I thought it would be. I am so happy now.

So anyway, now my status has gone from “single” to “is in a relationship with” ... I’m wondering how long it’ll be before it changes to “is married to”?

(don’t worry, we won’t rush anything; but...)
