Phil is to scared to talk to Dan which leads to months of texting when Dan doesn't even know phils name. Dan finds that he might be falling in love with this nameless boy online.
Dan is a hopeless loser who believes in love at first sight. When he sees Phil for the first time, he's sure that they're meant to be.
Phil isn't so sure. He goes along with Dan's flirting, but doesn't expect anything to come from it.
After all, love at first isn't actually real, right?
