Small Miracles

 M has been seeing a girl he met online. He really likes her. Told us she is the coolest person he has ever met! His biggest worry (And ours) was what would happen when he tells her. He had thought he might wait because she is only in the area until Thanksgiving before heading home 4 states away and going back to college in another state. J suggested though that if M was going to have a long distance relationship it would be better that he told her now instead of waiting until they were too far away to talk in person. 

Smart boy that J. 

He was right of course. Thinking about it, it made sense. M really likes her and would like to continue to talk to her and potentially date. 

They spent the day together yesterday and when they came back to her car, he told her. Telling her that he would totally understand if she wanted him to leave and never see him again and offering to answer any questions she had. Surprisingly she told him she did not want him to leave and that she wanted to keep dating! 

M was terrified to tell her. This was the best possible outcome! 

He made sure he told her in a public place where she could leave if she wanted to and she decided to stay. she really is a cool girl. I look forward to meeting her!

Dating

 He met a girl! M signed up for a dating app and they have been chatting and have had a few dates now. He was so nervous the first date. He just left for their 4th date. She does not live locally though. She is from Wisconsin and is in town for a few months on an internship before going hone for Thanksgiving and then back to college in another state. 

He likes her a lot. 

He has not told her yet. And we have advised him not to yet. Since she is leaving town in a few weeks there is really no reason to bring all of that into the mix. Obviously if it extends beyond just dating then there will need to be a conversation. It is not like he can easily move to another state to be with her if she does not want to move here. 

So we will wait and see if anything comes of this. Or if it is just a diversion for him. It is great to see him so happy right now.
