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.

They want your dog to like them??? 😭❤️😭💘

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.
