It’s officially - official.
Mr. Man and I are an item.
But because even uttering the word relationship makes my arm hairs stand on end, not out of joy but out of fear - I’ve decided to do some research. After all, it’s been years since I’ve been in a “real relationship” so I need to brush [...]

Or maybe I have a very literal sense of humor.
