22 y.o. having my very first relationship

I’m pretty content with my new relationship, despite we’ve only been dating for 7 weeks. I never had a relationship before, but I know this is what I want.

We text each other anytime we want and anything we want, we both know we’d get back to each other as long as being available atm. So I don’t have anxiety when he doesn’t reply immediately, and I also don’t feel pressured to reply to his message right away either. We just have amazing texting chemistry since day one.

We are ourselves when we’re together. I feel so comfortable when I’m with him, I don’t need to hide myself, I don’t need to pretend to be “perfect”. I shared silly stories with him and he shared his. We can just lie in bed and talk for hours.

We’ve been consistent so far. He never showered me with gifts or attention in the first few weeks, nor did I. We progressed naturally, getting to know the other person day by day, doing more and more things together.

We don’t include the other person in our future plans. I know this may sound weird, but we’ve been only dating for 7 weeks, anything is too early to say. I’ve heard some people talking about doing a lot of things together in the future blah blah blah, and ended up doing nothing at all because they couldn’t even make it then. So I just enjoy the moment and stop worrying too much about the future.

We also communicate directly, I’ve expressed my discontent two times and he did modify both times. Well the only problem is he’s less expressive, so I might need to encourage him to open up more.

We have 5 years age gap, he’s 27 now. He’ll move back to his home country a few months later. I’m happy I can have such healthy relationship as my first though. I’m blessed.
