Struck By Cupid

Chit Chatting

A few hours later, around 8 in the night, he pinged me

Him : Wassup

Me : Nothing much , watching anime, what about you

Him : just returned from office

Me : oh so what do you like to do in your free time?

Him : i love watching movies, I love to travel, wbu?

Me : i love cooking, reading books, spending time with my friends, watching movies

Him : which was the last book you read?

Me : Sita's sister by Kavita Kane ,wbu

Him : i don't actually remember but i do like reading too

Me : what kind of movies are you into?

Him : mostly action, or thrillers

Me : do you watch marvel movies?

Him : yup, watched them all

Me : what do you prefer more , DC or marvel?

Him : DC, you?

Me : marvel

Not gonna lie , that did seem like a deal breaker but what the heck, my bestfriends love DC too.

We spent the coming days getting to know each other on texts. He was different than other guys I had interacted with on Tinder. He never threw any pickup lines on me, neither did used to insist to meet,just pure talking about all the topics in the world.

Me : So have you dated anyone before?

Him : No, what about you?

Me : Yeah, I have been in two serious committed relationships, done with them for a while now

Me : I find it absolutely difficult to believe that you have never dated anyone

Him : why so?

Me : c'mon look at you and given that delhi is known for being the home to the some of the most exquisite girls in the country, it is really difficult to believe so

Him : i really haven't dated anyone

Me : did you atleast have a crush on someone

Him : i did, during high school but nothing happened

Me : really? You sound like a very funny guy

Him : i am extremely boring

Me : i find that hard to believe

So have you met anyone from tinder?

Him : i did meet one girl but that was because my friend forced me to

Me : what's the backstory?

Him : i was in Delhi at the time and had matched with a girl, my friend used to chat with her her pretending to be me, weeks turned into months and she asked to meet, he forced me to go and so i did

Me : woah ,did she know it was not you in the chats

Him : yeah she did

Me : did you tell her?

Him : she continuously brought up how i was different in the chats than in person so i confessed that it was my friend chatting with her all the while

Me : what was her reaction?

Him : she left

I laughed out lol at his text while sitting with my colleague turned villa mates and they being nosy girls started pestering me with questions. I brushed them off saying it was a meme.

Me : You should've stopped her, tried talking to her

Him : what could have i done?

Me : why didn't you send your friend or stop him at the early stages?

Him : i did not think it would go to the extent of me having to meet the girl

Me : am sure your friend is an extrovert

Him : how did you deduce that?

Me : because you sound like an introvert and the scenario which you just presented in front of me, screams polar opposite personalities, so am I right or am I right?

Him : you are absolutely correct mam
