Candid has been a very talked about app, I heard that it's one of the best apps to meet new and interesting people. It's been two months since I've downloaded the app and I must say... it has let me down in more ways than one. I had my first Online relationship and it ended because he was "not feeling up to a long distance relationship". We only lasted for one week. I was so naive and blinded to think that any kind of relationship could work long distance.

I think about all the guys I've talked to on this app and it always ends terrible. I begin to think that guys Online are incapable of having a relationship without having to talk to other girls.

That was until I met you...

You came into my life so suddenly that every now and then I have to process it...
You we're like any normal guy in the beginning, except when I tried (oh boy did I try) to ignore you or dodge you, you always messaged me for some reason. You changed my thoughts about online friendships or relationships. I never would have thought I'd meet someone as crazy, funny, and goofy as you.
You would change the entire game.

On the very first day I didn't even bother giving you my name and neither did you. We talked about how different we felt from the rest of the world. You found out something that night, you found out I was different, but I was similar to you wasn't I?
We we're so similar, despite this I still was skeptical (sorry I just gave up on candid) about you and everything. I couldn't and I refused (at least at the time) to believe you existed.
The second day, you messaged me first, and for me that was rare because I usually have to message a cute guy first. So I obliged and messaged you back thinking you wouldn't be online at the time, but you were weren't you?
We then talked about the boring stuff, like where we were from, and how old we were, you were older by a few months huh?
Then we started talking about problems and we quickly learned that we had similar problems and struggles as well. Yet I'm still the same skeptic person you met since day one, which you probably didn't notice, did you?
I still didn't believe you were real. You sent me a photo from your gallery just to prove that you had a birds chest like me, to my surprise you did. But I wasn't sure it was really you because you sent a gallery image. But when I brought it up, you sent a picture from your camera and it was indeed you. Some part of me wanted you to come up with an excuse for me to ignore you.

The third day in a row that we talked... was very brief because I cut it short. It was too cliche and frankly weird how we had many things in common. We both hated the question, "What are you doing" it was for the same reason too. We believed that people shouldn't ask that because we we're obviously talking to them.

The next day you asked if I had an Instagram and we exchanged accounts, you even liked all of my pictures and I did the same. But I again cut the conversation short.

After four days in a row, I decided that I became too attached to you, so I wanted to shut you out, but you didn't let me now did you? You kept messaging me, your perseverance is something I always admired, you didn't stop. You even messaged me on both apps. However, one particular message caught my eye, it read "I miss you" and I decided to admit that I missed you to. I was so impressed because you were the first one to message me first admitting you missed me. Hell you messaging me multiple times impressed me because that's never happened before
You were something else.
And this fact began to scare me.
You seemed legit.
