second week is when it clicked

Amlost ntoihng happened the first week a couple matches that led nowhere, and I nearly wrote the whole thing off and what chhanged my mind wasn't one big moment, just a steady buildup of decent conversations, none of them feeling like a c****, one with Emma in particular and my mom asked why I kept smiling at my phone at dinner and I didn't have a great ansswer for her. What's stuck with me most is just feeling normal about datiinng again instead of dreading it, which I wasn't expecting from something I signed up for half out of boredom.
