### Diary Entry — September 23, 2008
Dear Diary,
Today was a bit of a rollercoaster! I met up with Roberto again, and I was really looking forward to it, but then things took an unexpected turn.
After our study session, he casually asked if I'd let him come over to my dorm. At first, I felt a rush of excitement, but then a wave of anxiety hit me. My mind raced with thoughts—was he thinking of something more? The idea made me feel weird and a little uncomfortable. I was sure that I was not ready for that kind of step, and I didn't want him to get the wrong idea.
He must have sensed my hesitation because he quickly assured me, "Isabella, I promise I'm not thinking about anything like that! I just wanted to see your dorm setup and hang out a bit." Hearing him say that eased my nerves a little, but I still felt a bit on edge. I really appreciated that he understood my feelings, and it made me feel more at ease.
We ended up talking about our beliefs and values, and I was surprised at how naturally the conversation flowed. I shared with him my views on waiting for marriage when it comes to um...relations... It's something that's really important to me, and I loved that he listened intently. "I believe it makes the relationship more meaningful," I said, feeling more confident as we discussed it.
To my relief, Roberto nodded in agreement. "I really respect that," he replied. "I think there's something beautiful about waiting and building a strong foundation first." It felt amazing to connect with him on such a personal level. I was glad to see that we shared similar values.
Talking about these topics made me feel closer to him, and I realized how rare it is to find someone who truly understands and respects my beliefs. I could see the sincerity in his eyes, and it made me feel safe.
As we wrapped up our conversation, I felt a mix of emotions—relief, excitement, and a little nervousness. I know I want to explore this connection with him, but I also want to take things at a pace that feels comfortable for both of us.
I'm grateful for how open and honest we can be with each other. I can't wait to see where this journey takes us!
Goodnight, Diary!
