Last night on the phone

I called Ray last night to say hello, and see how his week was going. We started talking about the races on Saturday. He is going to go with me to my best friend and her husband's before the race and then have his friends meet up with us. He said he'd rather come hang out with me if that's okay. Then he asked what I was doing tomorrow night and if I wanted to go to the movies or something. That he doesn't think he can wait 'til Saturday to see me. WOW. Really forward, really sweet, but really forward. We're going to go to the movies tonight though.
Logically, he and I make sense together. He's really sweet, he's smart, we have a lot of the same interests, we can talk for days, he really likes me and I know he would treat me like a princess. I think there is just something missing for me though. Why can't I find someone like this that I feel the same about? Does that even exist? Or is the relationship always lop-sided? Does one person always have to like the other more than they like them? It doesn't seem fair, but it seems to be the way it goes.
