He was the "one" for me. We were talking about our wedding and naming our future children, where we wanted to live and settle down. I wanted to share some of my memories of him with everyone, since this is one of my favorite subs (that he introduced me to, haha).
Well, we met on Tinder. We actually matched twice. The first time we matched, we chatted for a while, but I ended up deleting my account later on that day. A couple days later, I was bored and Tinder was my guilty pleasure so I downloaded it again. He was like my second or third match again. This time we talked almost all night, joking around with each other. He finally asked for my number and when he first started texting me he only sent me pictures of birds . And when I'm talking about pictures of birds, I mean pictures of tiny birds in tiny kitchens or sitting in front of tiny pianos or doing other tiny human activities. He probably sent me 10 of those before saying, "Oh hey, what's up." We'd sometimes still send those pictures to each other every now and then.
We texted back and forth for a long time before we actually met. We would text all day and into the night and tell each other everything and joke around with each other.,, just to mess with me. He thought it was hilarious. I still have all of our text messages saved on my phone, when I feel stronger I'll go through them.
Our first date did not go as planned. The plan was that I was going to park near his apartment and we were going to meet up and walk to a bar a couple blocks away and have a few drinks. Well, he worked as a software developer so he'd be "on call" sometimes and that weekend he was on call and his phone rang saying some server was down right when we started to leave for the bar. So, we went into his apartment and he was doing his work stuff while I awkwardly sat at his desk and watched him. He had a playlist playing in the background and a candle lit and it was nice. He ended up having to do work shit for a little bit and by the time he was done, we were just talking. It was amazing, my happiest time ever. I'd like to be with him all days through The daylight and late night. I'm not in business of denying myself the simple pleasure to say true things but I was totally in love...
