Not really piecing and trying not to jinx it, but

What exactly do you mean by a R talk? We talk about us and the future often in bits and pieces. No formal 5 year plan or anything. LOL

I do make a point to stay, I'm sure of the words I'm looking for, but kind of neutral when he gets on those topics. I'm long past the begging and pleading and trying to convince him stage so I want to make sure I'm not pushing him into anything.

I guess I look at our R now as dating seriously, but unlike regular dating usually, we both have the same final "goal" in mind that we want to be together as a happy family. I'm enjoying this stage and don't feel the need to rush anything after all this time apart.
