I'm laying on my bed and texting random people on snapchat, adding people. It's late at night and my phone is the only light in my room. I come across a few dick pics and block some people, I don't want to see shit like that at the ripe age of 15. I come across some guy named J.D with a curly haired bitmoji and a little mustache and my interest immediately spikes. He texts me first saying 'Hey' and I answer right back.J.D: yow.
Me: Hey.
J.D: How r u?
Me: good hbu?
J.D: same wyd?
Me: nothing much wbu?
J.D: watching shameless
Me: omg I'm watching that too, what season are you on?
J.D: season 7 wbu?
Me: haha i'm one season ahead of you!
J.D: dammit how dare you.
I laugh quietly at my phone and then wonder where he's from so i decide to ask.
Me: where r you from?
J.D: Concord.
Me: Omg i live like really close to that.
After finding out that we live quite close to eachother we text some more and we exchange pictures; he is a curly haired brunette just like his bitmoji though his little mustache is not as visible. He's actually cute. He said he thought I was cute too. We text all night and suddenly he tells me he forgot to tell me his real name: Oliver. I never ask from where J.D came from.
The next day we text again and so the days go by. I tell him about my past which i usually never do. And he tells me he has ADHD and Autism. I am interested in psychology and he doesn't show alot of signs of autism. But i'm not gonna doubt him on that because we haven't met yet so there are probably a lot of things i don't know about him yet. He also told me to add his main account on snapchat. I find out he's a year older than me.
Oliver: Maybe we should start dating. I love you.
I stare at my screen in shock. Is this man out of his mind? What the fuck is he thinking asking me that after 3 days of talking.
Me: nope it's way too early idek you well enough and we haven't even met irl yet.
His response was fast.
Oliver: Oh well then maybe we should meet up on wednesday?
I think about it for a moment, I've never met up with a guy one on one and that thought kinda scared me.
Me: Sure i guess we can try... but what would we even do?
Oliver: idk we can go ice skating or bowling or something?
We discussed it for a while and even though it's the middle of the winter we settled on bowling because falling for him on the first date (literally falling for him or on him) would be too awkward. Tomorrow is Christmas and Wednesday is three days later, so on the 28th of december. Tonight we will celebrate Christmas eve.
Oliver: Merry Christmas Victoria. I love you.
Me: Merry Christmas Oliver.
I don't say I love you too because I don't love him yet so until i really like him or possibly love him, i won't say it back. On Christmas eve at the table I tell my mom and stepdad about Oliver and they are thrilled for me. My step dad agrees to bring me to the date and we then open some gifts and spend some family time.
