Like a real guy. A grown-up guy with a grown-up job. 

This sounds really, really silly. But, honestly, after all the random college stuff, I found myself feeling incredibly immature around him. And he’s only about four years older but, for all the times guys my age tell me I’m precocious and intimidating, I actually felt like a kid.

Because he was all “oh, I like to cook for women” and “I’m really into listening to jazz music”. I’m totally into both. But he wants to settle down like yesterday.

And, while he totally made fun of me for getting a little tipsy and stepping right out of one of my shoes (in my defense, they’re a little on the big side), he was actually able to keep up with my sense of humor and made college guys seem like a bunch of toddlers. Which, no offense to any of my followers, they are.

I’m really not down for the settling down thing or the getting into a serious relationship with someone who is done with grad school and has a career thing, but I see no harm in exploring this. Even SG was like, “please go for it”.

And I will. I’m just being a little coy before responding to his call. 

Here’s to acting like a grown-up.
