In mid-December he texted me. I was out with my family, looking for Christmas presents for one of my best friends (the one who knew who he liked first). My friend group and I wanted to do a secret Santa thing, and I was hers. Anyways, I got the text and I literally smiled so hard, and I nearly screamed. The second I got it I texted my friend and I told her about it. We were virtually screaming, of course I couldn't actually scream I didn't want to be escorted out of a store, that would be embarrassing. Of course I was the one who texted him first, without knowing he didn't have his phone for a while. When he got it, he finally responded, which was kinda embarrassing for me bc I was really excited for him to text me back the first few days, but I kinda gave up bc he was never on social media (not that I stalked him or anything, because I don't) so I figured he doesn't use his phone too much.

Anyways, I waited a few minutes before opening his text because I didn't want to look like a creep who was waiting for him to text me. It wasn't an extravagant text that was a long and beautiful paragraph. It literally said hello. But I still got excited anyways. I mean what girl wouldn't get excited when her crush texts her?

The best part of him responding is that I didn't have to not flirt, or not make it obvious that I liked him, because he liked me. My heart was racing as I respond, again it wasn't a long beautiful paragraph about how much I like him (I don't wanna come off to strong). I typed 'hey' and pressed send.

I waited a minute before getting a response, I never felt so many butterflies till this moment. He wasn't afraid to be flirtatious, it was incredibly cute. He continuously kept complimenting me, and he couldn't see it (thank goodness) but my face was flushed red. I was smiling so hard down at my phone, and I was internally squealing still.

After I got home from the mall and ate dinner I continued to talk to him. He kept me laughing till after midnight. At 11:58 pm he asked me to be his girlfriend. (How cute to ask a girl out over text, right?) I was at a loss for words, I did want to be his girlfriend, but I sat there panicking with excitement for 2 minutes. "I would love to be your girlfriend." It was sent at 12:01 am on December 14, 2015.

He was my boyfriend, and I was his girlfriend. It felt like a dream, like I was hallucinating.
