The silence wasn’t awkward but comfortable. I still hadn’t told Mike anything about myself, but I wanted to. I also felt safe with him. I could only imagine what my parents would say if I told them I met a strange guy in a bookstore and left with him. I wonder if this is how it feels when you meet the person you will eventually fall in love with, or when you meet the person who is about to murder you.
I feel you should always follow that instinct. If you feel safe with them, they will most definitely be a safer option than if you are nervous around them. It's better for both your sanity and your heart to go about love like that.
