Sen - 6'3" brown haired white boy. Temporarily living in my country. Enjoys anime and weed and Destiny and Counterstrike and various other games.
It's almost summer.
I met him on Tinder, and you probably already know where this is going.
We banter back and forth at first, calling each other senpai and waifu for our shared love of anime. It moves to text like a lot of conversations do, and we text each other quite frequently. Eventually i get into the weird headspace where I am anticipating his texts and worrying when he doesn't respond to them.
We meet for the first time at a street party somewhere, that Ani had taken me along to with her friends that I do not know well.
He had been wanting to meet for awhile before this but I always blew it off, finding it extremely awkward.
For the first time we were gonna meet, and we were going to meet at a street sign on the corner of a park where an outdoor concert was going on. Ani's friends had bounced, and when I first saw that tall giant coming through the crowd I couldn't say I was too much into him. He was a bit scruffy and not my type.
We go to a Timmies together and sit, with Ani, sharing coffee and awkward stories. He tells us about his time in China. We blather on about things I no longer remember.
Eventually it is time to leave and we go in search of his car, which is nowhere to be found.
It had been towed, and after walking us back to the skytrain, he cabs out in search of his car which he eventually retrieves.
He's glad he finally got to meet his waifu, he says.
