Regardless

I'm about to graduate.

I'm about to graduate and receive my bachelor's degree in civil engineering.

And yet I haven't met anyone special. I mean there's nothing wrong with being single. It's just that I have my life under control and have been yearning to have someone special to build our careers together. I had my fair share of hook-ups and situationships, but none of those people I've met made me feel anything. None of them made me want to risk my time for them. And frankly, I'm tired with all of these situationships. I want something real and special this time.

One time I nearly became a side guy for someone I've met on a hook-up app. How did I know that? Let's just say someone I know knew the person I've met and told me he already has a lover, for now. I'll explain it in the story soon.

But anyway, going back. I'm tired of all the meetups and quick chats. I want something real. Something that will make me smile. Someone to feel the spark with, go fall in love with. A person to grow up with while we've become successful in both of our careers.

Surely I won't find that special someone on some dating/hook-up app. But then again, someone interesting had reached out to me. For a moment
I thought this would just be a quick situationship.

But the longer I'm talking to this random guy, the more interesting he sounds. It reaches a point where I'm curious to meet him. Especially since we're in the same college institute. But in different departments. Still, there's something special about this guy.

He had told me his name and from what engineering department he's from. But his name and program wouldn't be enough for my curiosity. I want to see him in person.

Who knows, maybe he's the one I've been yearning for all these years.
