Still sort of reeling from the sheer impact of how KIND he was. I don't think I've ever met a kinder person in my life. I actually started crying lol bc he was speaking so kindly. Then we talked for 15 minutes about how I was feeling and what experiences I may have had that would cause me to react that way, etc. I wish I could talk to him 10 hours a day.

Edited because I have known lots of kind and loving people, but there was an additional *something* that I've never experienced from ANYONE. Something like - kindness and actually interested in me, not annoyed at all, not bored, at all, not judging me or anything - but interested and kind. Really kind. And interested. Not acting like he's interested because he's kind, but actually interested.

In a way it's heartbreaking to realize I've lived almost 50 years and never had anyone speak kindly, and be truly interested in what I was saying without an ulterior motive. (I've had PLENTY of men be interested in me, but they weren't interested in my personality, let's just say, and I can tell the difference)
