we're great. like genuinely. also she casually floated "what if we just… shared a place" after five weeks and my brain blue-screened.

i know the u-haul joke exists for a reason. i don't want to be the one who kills the vibe by going slow, but i also don't want to sign a lease on vibes.

how do you slow down without making it sound like rejection.

    "i like where this is going and i want us to keep going — i'm just not ready for keys yet" worked for me. name the want AND the brake.

    playing house without a lease is a middle path. toothbrush, drawer, weekend routines. still not a lease.

    emotional intimacy can outrun logistics. that doesn't mean you're broken. it means calendars exist.
