First date restored my faith in humanity

Good feels rant post.

I had pretty much given up on romance as dating is nearly impossible as an older transguy. I managed to meet a nice geeky guy on a dating site and we chatted for a while. On our first date last night, he handed me a wrapped gift. "I saw this book and thought you'd like it." and it was a book in my favorite genre. "And I got a toy for your dog. I put it in my laundry for a day so he can get used to my scent before I meet him." Bros and sisters, my heart melted.

We ended up having a ridiculous fun time then making out in the snow, and it was super cheesy and cute and romantic.

Don't give up on love! Good folks are still out there. ❤️ Figured I'd share some positivity since the Earth is literally burning.

Yeah, my dog doesn't like ANYONE except me (typical shiba) so I'm curious to see how this goes.

I'm glad to see it's possible. I'm just getting out of a 17 year relationship that started before I discovered I was trans and that part of it is scary. I hope I can find that kind of love again.

You got this! I'm fresh out of a 5 year relationship that ended in abuse and cheating, so I have my walls very high. This guy seems to be melting right through them.
