We met right before Thanksgiving, so it was lovely to feel connected to someone through the holidays. We even rang in the new year together -- sealed with a perfect kiss.

From the beginning, we agreed to take things slow, because he was newly divorced and I was recently out of a six-year relationship. (He also is a single dad, and I have never dated anyone with a child.)

We don't want to get overwhelmed, and it has worked.

February 13th was our three-month anniversary, and the day after was obviously Valentine's Day.
