Hello everyone. I'm new around here .
Here's the story. I've been seeing a girl for 2 months or so now. A mutual friend of ours set us up originally but since then hasn't done anything to move things along between the two of us. She hasn't had to. Me and the girl she set me up seem to get along great. Since we met we have gone out on a number of dates and we talk pretty much every day, mainly via texts but on the phone as well, and lot of the "firsts" are out of the way. However, things seem to be moving a bit slow. Now, I'm not really upset about this. Given how we met, our personalities, and other things, I'm actually OK with this. I know she does like me but my biggest problem has been trying to figure out what she wants in terms of our relationship. As of right now we are not an "official" couple as we have not talked about it. Personally, I would like to be a some point in the near future. This brings me to my question...
A couple of times in the past, within the first month of when we met probably, she called me "dear" but I didn't think much of it given her personality and the context it was used in. Both times it was something along the lines of:
Her: How was your day?
Me: Bad.
Her: oh, I'm sorry Dear.
So, yes, I'll admit, it was kinda nice to hear that but still, I didn't think much of it. Yesterday, however, was a bit different. She sent me a text last night that said "Hello my Dear. How was your day?" Now maybe I'm alone here but, to me, putting the MY in there gives it a whole new meaning. Again, though, I will admit, I felt good when I saw this. Perhaps as a sign she would like more out of our relationship. Maybe make it official but I don't know - as sure as I am that she likes me in a romantic way, she is hard to read. What do you think? Am I reading into this to much? Should I just take it with a grain of salt and think "oh, that was sweet but doesn't necessarily mean anything other being a nice gesture" or does it take on a new meaning with MY in there?
