First lesson on a dating app: there are too many fishes in the
sea
No guy has ever liked me. Like properly. I'm this perfect balance between a girl and a guy that guys love having as a confidante. And it makes total sense. I've learnt to see and empathize with both sides.
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus
And me?
I'm a star.
I've spoken to many guys on Hinge. Even met two of them.
But let's start with the latest one.
Let's call him Panda.
Don't ask me why Panda I really don't
know.
At
times, I come across guys that Hinge tells me are "most compatible" with me. I've no idea how the algorithm works, but what I've seen is that these guys require relatively less work than others. I feel like the moment I mention the fact that we're compatible according to this app, this pre-notion makes a little space for itself in the back of our minds. It nestles there comfortably, preparing our minds for rainbows and sunshine.
Panda is one of those.
The most compatible ones.
I texted first. He wrote something about the globe theatre. And his last video was of him dancing to 24K Magic. The dude's got moves.
I liked everything about his profile. His smile had a sort of liveliness about it. So I sent him the one rose I had.
He texted me back not very late.
We didn't speak much on text, he wanted to talk on call.
That's where the first connection was made. He's in an engineering college. We both have the same dream university: UCB. Poor guy got his heart broken a year back. She'd cheated on him.
Panda was very scared of opening up at first. He told me how he was still hurting. He didn't want to dive head-first into a relationship. I was like yes perfect. The last guy acted like my boyfriend RIGHT after our first date😭 (stay tuned for the whole story!).
"I love talking to you," he said. Twice on text, and once last night over the call. My heart skipped a beat. It's been a long since it's done that. Well done, heart.
But there's something about him that makes the little voice in my head sigh with disappointment and say "Next". But I've convinced it to give him a chance.
I've learnt to walk in with zero expectations.
My heart is a tourist.
Eyes open; not searching, yet eager.
I like how he wants to go out with me a little more every day. Then randomly⁰ texts me "I like you a lot"
But did I mention he's not a good listener?😭
*cries in a corner*
We might go on a date very soon. Stay tuned to know how the date went!
