on butterflies or their lack thereof

We talked. A lot. It was pleasant and nice. We went for a very long walk which was nice too.  He asked if he could kiss me.  I said… I can’t remember but it was either “sure” or “ok” so we kissed and it was pleasant and nice.  Not earth shattering, the world around us remained their, it didn’t disappear.  There were moments of subtle fluttering but he didn’t take my breath away.

Is it horrible of me to see this as likely to be nothing more than a nice break from singlehood?  I need to have sex and I’m pretty sure he would be a willing participant judging from the kissing and hand maneuvering. I can wait a bit on that but I would like to get my fix.  It’s been too long and I really need it.  Who knows, maybe butterflies and fireworks could develop. Or not. But how can I know?

Does it make sense to give this a chance?  Is it smart? Is it fair to him?
