I’d walked away from our first date feeling comforted and comfortable, and that was pretty much all I felt. I didn’t feel head over heels in love. I didn’t feel like signing the marriage papers tomorrow. I didn’t feel like he was this great prince. I felt like this person was really interesting and I wanted, badly, to see him again. I felt like I’d enjoy continuing to know him—I was intrigued but not infatuated.
