I'm in love! I'm in love! And I don't care who knows it!

I feel like I'm constantly playing a game of I love you, I love you not with Tinder. I keep getting up to 200 matches, and then probably only get messaged or responded to by 10-20 of them. I was swiping yesterday for the first time in a bit, and one of the guys messaged back almost immediately. We basically ended up texting back and forth for four hours, and I knew I wanted to marry him after about the fourth one. He's French, successful, two kids, and HE'S GOT A MOTHER FUCKING PLANE! I found out this last bit not too far into the conversation, enough to know he wasn't showing off, it's just something he's truly interested in.

At one point he mentioned being spontaneous and meeting last night for a glass of wine. Although I would have loved to, I've still got five more days on the sober wagon. I told him that I didn't want to wait a week, but would next week work? Thankfully we agreed on Wednesday. Game on.

We kept texting and when I asked him what he was doing this weekend (just making conversation), he told me he was going flying. I told him he was amazing, and then he asked if I wanted to go with him! I told him yes of course! He said great, we'll do brunch in Auburn and fly back! WHAT THE HELL. Um, YES! I did tell him that I was equally nervous and excited, we didn't know each other's last names and we'd be defying gravity on our first date. He said that he was intuitive, I am too, so it's on!

I swear I could barely sleep last night. The butterfly's in my stomach turned into pterodactyls. I practiced French on my Duolingo app every time I woke up. This morning I told The Kid and one of my best friend's about him (the one that is also doing the Dry February with me, and we're learning French this year). I told The kid I was going to marry this guy, he told him to take it easy. I told him, "Wedding bells bitches!" I told the bestie I was going to light Finance's shit on fire in celebration.

So now I'm going to spend the next two days working out and doing Duolingo until I'm fluent.
