does this make you nervous?

I'd like to think, that the reason why we're going so slow, the reason why you respect my boundaries, is because you can see I respect myself.
You treat me as a gentleman would, because you can realise I am a lady and I don't deserve any less.
Do not think the way you open doors for me, hold my bags and refuse to let me pay goes unappreciated. The way you're always able to come pick me up and drive me all over the place just so we can spend time together. The way you hold my hands in the car and give me your jacket so that I'm not so frozen anymore. The way you fight (and sometimes give in to) pure exhaustion and sleepily mumble your protests as I try to say goodnight to you on the phone or skype, because you need your sleep but you don't want to have to sleep. The way you tell me to "please, be careful" with earnest. These small gestures make up the bigger picture.
