I recently went on a first date with a guy and I can’t stop thinking about how strange the whole experience was.

I was nervous beforehand and went in with pretty much no expectations. But the second we started talking, it felt like I had known him forever. I’m generally outgoing and friendly, but I’m also very guarded. My friends would tell you I’m not someone who opens up easily.

After the date, he asked if we could FaceTime a few days later. We ended up talking for almost 6 hours. A few nights later we did it again and talked for hours

We’ve both acknowledged how crazy this feels. Neither of us has experienced a connection like this before. At one point he admitted that after our first date he told his friends, “I think I just met my wife,” but didn’t tell me because he thought it would freak me out.

Trust me, I’m not under the illusion that I know this man after a few weeks. I know chemistry and compatibility aren’t the same thing. But I’ve dated, I’ve been in long-term relationships, and I’ve never had something feel this easy, natural, and familiar right from the start.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did it turn into a healthy relationship, or was it just excitement and new relationship energy?

I (30F) recently went on a first date with a guy (28M), and honestly, it was one of the best first dates I’ve ever been on. We both left feeling really good about it, have a second date planned, and have been talking a lot since.

We got into a conversation about what we’re looking for, and he told me he’s finally in a place where he wants to settle down and have a family. I asked what changed and whether his last relationship was the catalyst for that realization.

Instead of texting me the answer, he said he’d rather talk about it on FaceTime. During that conversation, he told me that his ex had lied to him about having herpes and didn’t tell him until they were already in a relationship and having sex. (Honesty and trust is huge for him he said so he ended it)

Then today he told me that he got a full STD panel done because he figured I might eventually ask about it and wanted to be proactive. He also said he’d be happy to share the results/paperwork with me.

Part of me thinks this is incredibly mature, transparent, and responsible. Another part of me wonders if it’s unusual to be discussing and acting on things like this so early after one date.

For context, he wasn’t using the story to bash his ex or play the victim. It came up because I specifically asked what had influenced his outlook on relationships and settling down.

Would you view this as a green flag, or would it make you pause? Am I overthinking something that is actually just healthy communication? (To be fair I asked him about his last relationship)

**TL;DR:** Had a great first date. Guy told me his ex didn’t disclose that she had herpes until after they were already sexually active. The next day he got a full STD panel done proactively and offered to share the results with me. Green flag or weirdly intense after one date?

Im on a second round of doxycycline and Triamcinolone acetonide. It’s only the one foot and I stayed off of it for a week. It seemed like it was completely healed then I wore socks and went to a meeting and it started flaring up again. I’m losing it :(
