She's leaving a job she loves to be with him in another city she is giving up her already established life in another place to be with him leaving all her friends behind she probably is excited to have met someone she gets along with in this new environment she is talking about food and casual stuff with someone who happens to be male why does it matter she isn't mentioning her bf in every message? Talking about food and sending funny gifs is what I do with my gal friends all the time my parents even (I'm female btw) maybe she wants an identity seprate from her bf in this new city? She hasn't been physically missing just getting along with a guy
