They always listens attentively to whatever I’m saying, even if the words are meaningless. I told them I liked crispy chicken sandwiches once and, ever since, they’ve ordered it for me every single time. But, it’s weird, because I have every reason to love this person, but when I smelled their dirty shirt this morning, I didn’t smell anything. Which is weird, because whenever I’ve been infatuated in years past, the scent of my partner at the time has been extremely attractive to me. I don’t know what this means.
Maybe it means that I’ve already moved past the infatuation phase, and this is what love feels like. Maybe I’ve grown so accustomed to their scent that my brain doesn’t even register it as different from my own anymore. Maybe our love is so powerful that our scents have become identical.
Maybe it’s a combination of all three. But, we don’t even live together yet, so I don’t see how this is possible. But also, when I imagine them, I can feel every bit of my brain lighting up, reacting.
The shirt in question hadn’t been worn at night, so the scent had probably just faded. There, I answered my own question. Maybe.
Anyway, I really like this person, but I’ve seen so many TikToks warnings about the dangers of people like them. However, I think most of the warnings do not apply to them. Then again, one never does. But they’ve already gotten two green flags from my siblings, and I’ve never dated someone with such similar values as me, so the future looks promising.
