I'm writing this little story to anyone who is being oblivious / unsure about trying online dating. I'm not looking for advice, I want no help from you but help you a little (:
We hear that online dating is bad and fake and etc almost every day, right?
Well, let me tell you my story c:
It started in december, 2014, when I had a crush on a guy from my school - he was in his last year. All cool, popular, etc, so a really loveable boy. It wasn't real for me to have something with that guy, however, I, the grey mouse from her second year at school managed to get close to her crush and becpme friends, but that was all.
Around that time, my big brother introduced me to Tinder. I downloaded the app so we could laugh at people there with my bro. It was real fun, but like many smart people, I didn't take it seriously. First, it was just an online thingie, second, nobody was close enough.
However, once when I had a match, I decided to take a better look at the guy's description and stuff ( I have never-ever texted a boy first, and I decided I wouldn't text him either )
He only lived 8 kms away!
I was waiting for him to text me, but he didn't. Few days passed and still nothing ( thought I only checked Tinder if I had a match or received a text ). So I was like why not?
And I sent him a message. He was the first stranger in my life I have texted, but whatever. I didn't regret it - he was nice, cute and pretty shy - that explains why he didn't text me.
He was a little-brother-like boy, thought he's 9,5 months older than me.
We became internet-friends, I guess that's the right word, but nothing more. I told him about my crush, and he also said that he's the same with a girl.
We made a promise that once one of us gets over that crush, the other has to get over as well.
That's my last memory of us talking, then there were times when we didn't talk for months, and it was always me who texted him again.
He never was rude to me or never showed if I was boring, he was just probably shy, I still don't know.
However, after a while, I had enough and didn't text him again for like half a year ( a bit less, I don't know).
Since I've grown a bit, I became more confident and stuff, more boys were interested in me.
That's how I met a boy on the last day of 2015, where there were like 3-4 boys my age, and they all were about me. ( I'm not being egoist, it feels really weird to talk about this. It was a party with people who like rock and metal music, and since I have the same taste, the boys of course had to care way tooo much about a girl who likes rock. But that's all)
So I met a guy here who I liked, and in more than 2 weeks, it bloomed into a relationship.
However, it wasn't only love and pink and stuff.
After a while, all he talked about was his ex. Not in a cute or lovely way, he just told me facts about her, but still.
I had enough. And, think whatever you want, I texted the Tinder-boy ( he had his birthday just before that).
Oh, and I forgot to mention it was Valentine's day, and my boyfriend asked his best friend to go to the cinema with him to watch Deadpool together. And that was my Valentine's day.
It's not like I need anything for Valentine's day, I never celebrated it, but what I didn't except is my boyfriend asking his bestie to go to the cinema with him. Ouch.
So, on Valentine's day, I texted this boy.
We talked like we have been talking to ages, with no stops, but I noticed he had changed a bit - he was much more confident, like I was talking to someone I never knew, yet someone I knew very well.
So, because of his confidence, we ended up having a conversation filled with flirting.
I meant nothing serious by that. I had a boyfriend and I loved him.

However, three days after, that boyfriend broke up with me.
And in two days, he wanted to come back, but we just stayed friends. Another two days, and he told me he had been cheating the whole time with all his exes. Ouch.
Another few days, and he told me it was all a lie, he just wanted to help me hate him so I could get over it, but he failed because I'm kindhearted and would have never hated him. So he wanted to cry himself back again.
I almost said yes, but during that time, my relationship was getting more and more romantic with the Tinder-boy, even thought I never believed it would be something serious.
However, I blocked my ex in the end.
I felt a bit depressed, and that was the day that the guy from Tinder told me he loves me and will not stop until he sees me happy again. ( fun fact he have never seen me, haha.)
So, even thought I wasn't ready to love again at that time, I grew an affection to him. He was always there for me, and vice versa.
But we had an arguement once because of me being unsure and not having any trust. He blocked me.
At the end of that day, I realised I was in love with the boy I have known very well, yet have never met.
I wrote a long message to him on Skype, and the next day, he answered, saying sorry.
But our talks after were very cold for a while.
We were up to meet once, but my mom told me I had to visit my grandfather at the hospital before it was too late on that day we wanted to meet.
And two weeks later, on 27th April, my grandad was gone. I was ready to leave for school when I got to know, but I decided to go anyway.
Midday, I texted Dan ( the Tinder-guy) about the news, and I started complaining.
I got through the day with no crying. Pretty good job, right?
However, that was the first day I said ( wrote ) 'I love you' to Dan.
On 1st May, we went to a festival with some girls, and when I got home, I sent the pictures we have taken there to him. And I remember clearly, he wrote ' Nobody has a prettier girlfriend than I do."
I asked back " Do you?"
" Don't I?"
After a long thinking, I said yes. So, I actually became his girlfriend without ever meeting him ( side note that I've known him for almost half and a year ).
And yaaay we're almost 2 months together now ( we have met since then!!:D). And I can tell that I love him more than I've loved someone I met in person. And I'm not saying this just because I'm really in love. I have never met someone showing this amount of love and attention to me - I'll risk saying I've probably met the love of my life ( or at least teenager years, thought he's already grown up, and I have a few months 'till that ) online.
So, two thing you should learn of that : You can find love online.
A girl texting a boy first is not always bad.
Hope you found this little story interesting, and let me tell you that I never wanted to brag about my love story, just help some of you who is oblivious (:
Thanks for reading this, I hope I managed to help (:
Have a nice day ♥
