After a breakup, finding someone is hard.
It's hard finding someone to give your heart to again because of how hurt you were before.
But, finding someone that was there for you throughout the tough times is a great feeling.
You find someone who is there for you even through the hardest moments of your life... Someone who cares enough to let you vent about how hurt you were before and knowing that you need to vent about the painful times.
Eventually, this person becomes your best friend; the person you always want to hang out with and make more memories with. The person who has the same interest as you and does the things you both enjoy...
The person who matches your personality the best.
This person doesn't care about his friends the most or drinking and partying all the time but rather has interest in being with you and having fun with you. They'd rather go fishing with you and see who catches the most fish that night or just a movie night in with you is better than going to some party.
This person doesn't rush you to do anything because of knowing the pain from before. They take things slow and takes the time to get to know everything about you. They want to learn everything in your life.
Taking things slow to get to know each other and becoming best friends is key to a new relationship. Being with your best friend is an amazing feeling.
Also, there's nothing wrong with taking things slow and getting to know each other.
