Today he called me again. We talked for about an hour straight and then he called me for another 20 later on. It was really nice as usual. All my doubts from the other day are put aside. This man keeps telling me stuff that blows my mind. First of all why is it that a man in prison has more respect for me than literally any one else I’ve dated. He said he knew I had a weird past and before I even thought of telling him about my sexual assaults he asked if I was comfortable being touched physically. And if I had anywhere I wasn’t comfortable with someone touching. That shit was so fucking sweet. Showed me he really is compassionate and cares. He also asked the materialistic comment in regards to dates and gifts from a significant other. I said I’m really not picky cuz I don’t get gifts at all so as long as someone thinks of me I like it. He couldn’t believe that I’d never ever gotten flowers from anyone. That kinda made me said because I guess I really have been treated like crap by these other guys and they don’t do even simple things for me. I’ve never once gotten a gift from the joker. And Rapunzello is here saying he would if he could. I need to stop giving so much to men that don’t care about me. That taught me something. It’s making me really sad thinking about more ways I’ve been hurt. But I hope that he ends up being the one that’ll actually treat me well. Also on the book catalogue he gets he was gonna buy the book I said I liked (book of awakening). And I thought that was so cute! I had to tell him not to buy it because I already bought it for him. He said thanks he appreciates it. I hope he likes the pictures I got him. And I hope he likes the book. We talked about relationships and stages of dating (talking, dating, dating exclusively, in a relationship) and he was asking what defines each stage and how do I like someone to ask me out. I gotta elaborate on that cuz we ran out of time. But I think he does like me. And idk if I would date him in prison. But I know I do have feelings for him. So I guess I have a decision to make. He told me a bit about his parole when he gets out. Apparently he has to be on house arrest for about 6 months. And then regular parole after to finish out 2 years. The only problem is he needs somewhere to parole at. His mom might be deported because she’s undocumented. The only reason she could stay so long is because of his little brother. That makes me so sad. He could parole at his homies house but they’re in gang shit and he doesn’t want to be apart or around it. They offered to get a place closer in the city but he still said it’ll be the same shit when he’s around them and he doesn’t wanna go back. I’m glad he said that. Makes me think he really wants to try n change and stay outta trouble. I just gotta pace myself. Knowing me I’ll tell him to parole at my new apartment.
