I can't contain my own feelings.
We went out together and we really discussed a lot of work-related things and themes. We spent hours together, drowned in an intense discussion, involving papers and erasable pens.
Throughout the "event" that I perceived as a "first date", even though we are just colleagues, I noticed several things that I always ask in my prayers about a partner:
1. He communicated his agenda clearly;
2. He came to the place first, booked the table, and let me know where it is;
3. He communicated the change of his arrangement for several days ahead that involved me;
4. He paid the bills, held the door, and said thank you.
And above all that, I LOVE the discussion.
Ya Allah, my heart was pounding so hard, and I'm sure he could hear it. I was so awkward after that that I couldn't control myself anymore.
Yes, he's not perfect, and I'm not perfect either. But I feel like he has things that I need, and I can only live with someone like him.
I like him a lot, and I can't contain my feelings.
