So a few weeks ago, I posted an urgent question on a third date outfit. I didn't really follow up then, but I have more definite news now: I'm still seeing the guy from that third date! Things are going well, though it's still quite early, and I feel very happy right now. This is actually my first real relationship (I'm 29, so I'm a very late bloomer) but I'm relieved to find that that hasn't been problematic in any way. Maybe it helps that he's a little younger than me

He's a med student and has very wide-ranging interests, so he definitely keeps me engaged on the intellectual conversation side (which has always been important). Also, we have great physical/romantic chemistry One side benefit is that my self-esteem in my appearance has become much higher--I don't spend as much time focusing on my flaws in the way I used to.
