Went over to her place last night.

Her: "You want to learn more Chinese right?"

Me: "Mhm"

Her: "Read these love letters from 朱生豪 to his wife aloud as I fall asleep"

Most fun I've had in a while. Got to watch her fall asleep with a smile on her face and improve my Chinese at the same time.

Congratulations Shady, happy to hear things are going well and that you're happy.

Amazingly, I've had somewhat of a similar experience. At this point we've known each other a little longer than you and TC girl, about 2 months total, and it's been a fantastic time.

Also, I LOVE your line below, practically had me cracking up in the office.

So I spent the entire night holding the major idiot ball in my hands. Like if normal me is maybe a 5 or 6 on the a 1-10 of idiot vs suave I was playing around 2 the entire evening. Near the end I'm literally just droning on about my private philosophy towards life, the universe, and everything, and some private part of me is screaming 'WHY ARE YOU FUCKING THIS UP LIKE THIS'.

Then we went up to her place and made out and everything was okay. And she offered Friday night too, the midnight screening of the Great Gatsby, and asked me if I could walk her back to her place afterwards.

And the great thing is she was actually talking to me about life philosophies. You know, that deep conversation about value systems that you usually only have with good friends while six beers deep while playing Halo - except this is a dinner date where you're supposed to talk about suave shit to impress each other.

Instead we're talking about things that... you know, cut to the bone and actually matter but you aren't supposed to touch on until three months into the relationship - or maybe not ever.

And she liked it.

Haven't been this pumped over a date in years.

We're moving kind of fast - it's an awesome feeling when both of you want to skip past all the coy BS and move straight to the steady state of waking up next to each other every single morning

I hear that bro, lol! Luckily my roommate is extremely accommodating and understanding, so she is usually able to stay over anywhere from 2-4 nights a week.

Thanks man. She just went out of the country with her mom on vacation for 5 days. First time since we've gotten close (even before dating) that I've not been able to see her for more than 2 days max, and I'm feeling it already, ha. She won't be back until Sunday night either. :p

Southern part, specifically Guangzhou. Not originally from China, but here for work at the moment. Ever been here, or have you only been in the northern region?
