Imagine the cheesiest way to meet a girl. You can't. The truth is, there are no cheesy way to meet a girl. I believe that everyone you meet is not because it just happens but because fate dictated so. At this point my kids in the future are going to ask if I believe in fate and probably laugh but yes, I do believe in fate. In this case, serendipity.
We did not stop texting one another ever since we started. It was our little thing that was never stated but we both know damn well to text one another even if it was just a good morning. It was like streaks but in chat. I quickly switched from Instagram to messenger ever since I found out her name. Messenger was just so much easier for me as it didn't require too much roaming data to receive and send a text. A simple good morning usually starts us off to an hour of conversation till which one of us have to go. Now my kids in the future would ask me how I never got bored. Well that was because I was really committed to her and I really want her to like me. I wasn't a interesting person to talk to per say but thank god for the internet allowing websites to form and a site call conversation starters came to my need. I was using that for months just to get to know her which was lovely.
A nifty and smart way of getting to know someone. I am very much aware that I am socially awkward yet with her, it was easy. I didn't have many guy friends especially not at that time. My friends are mostly female so I was accustomed to not mention anything that should not be mentioned. I also got information that I needed through the most subtle ways possible. Here's a hint to all the guys reading this. Ask the girl how many exes have she got to get an idea to see if she's open to the concept of developing a relationship. However, keep in mind, never get too attached if she already have a list of ex-lovers because you will soon be one of them. Cheryl had relationships previously and most did not end well. As I have already mentioned, she is a petite little girl and I could imagine her getting bullied. In which case, she did. She wasn't treated well back in her old school and that was tragic. Cheryl got pressured into her relationships. I was very lucky to have her being open to me, I felt like we had something special. I would consider myself as the only true friend from this school to her.
This part of the story will be telling the story of how Cheryl changed me. She didn't exactly change me at all, she just influenced me to take a hidden path. As a child I never had a console nor a PC. I played BlackShot for quite some time but that got boring eventually. Cheryl opened my eyes to the world of Steam. I knew Steam existed but I never had a PC not till recent years when I gave up on gaming. Paladins was the first game I downloaded because it was free and I got to play with Cheryl. Gaming was not exactly a passion of Cheryl although she was really into Pokemon. She would have an emulator and I have no idea how it works but essentially, it allows you to play Pokemon on a Mac. It was lovely and all but that was that. She mentioned Steam because his ex introduced Cheryl to Steam and bought her Counter Strike: Global Offensive. My friend bought me the game a few months later as my early birthday present but Cheryl didn't want to play nor does she know how to play. So, she set me up with a dude I barely knew who was apparently her ex. I knew it was the ex but no one said anything so I kept my mouth shut. One game and that was that.
We had a thing. It's called our bucket list. It wasn't exactly a bucket list but it was a blog that revolved around our bucket list. Looking back at it now, it was cute. Really cute. It started out as my masterplan on how to get this girl to keep talking to me and having something to talk about. Not only that, I wanted to date her. Cheryl bought the idea of starting a blog and we posted every week alternating between me and her each week, talking about recent events. We were twelve weeks in when I had the honour to write about how we got together. Twelve weeks! That was eighty-four days, approximately three to four months. The blog was titled 'Coming Back to That' because it was part of the bucket list to get together. She just didn't know it. That day I got to cross off one out of ten items from the bucket list.
