If he wanted to, he would.
Possibly a thread- by yours truly.
I’ve been single for over a year- looking for ~something~ (not a relationship but more like, a friends with extremely light benefits) and I just wasn’t finding what I was looking for. However, two weeks ago I updated my tinder profile (though I ended up deleting the app after an hour bc I literally hate it) and I added my Snapchat in my bio and received a friend request at 4:30am and accepted. Why? I was lonely and bored. But here’s why I think it could’ve been the best decision I made for where I am in my life right now.
He snap chatted me at 4:30am and we chatted for a while before he said, “Hey I just got done eating ihop, do you want any of my leftovers?” Weird right? Me being who I am, I was like hell yeah. At this point it’s like 5-6am and he loves thirty minutes away. He just shows up to my apartment at 6am with leftover breakfast and we sat in his car and got to know each other and listened to some music before we went our separate ways and honestly, I thought that’d be the end of that. But boy, I was wrong. And am I glad I was.
Over the course of the next few days- we hung out a few more times. He came to see me, we drive around and listen to music, get to know each other more. You know- the usual. (I should state that I don’t invite men to my apartment so I just feel safer driving around with him.) I remember him buying me coffee a few times. I asked for a small and he got me a large, I thought that was cute. (There’s one example but wait, there’s more.)
The other day I was coming down from two very bad days and decided I needed a mental health day and so voiced that to him. Just kind of told him, you know, “I’m going to light some candles and lay down. I might wash my face.” You know, self care shit (I guess.) And he reminded me to eat (important because I do not eat often because I simply forget.) and he also asked if we could hang out later and I said, sure maybe for a couple hours you know? Anyways, the time comes for him to come hang out and the first thing he does and take me for a large coffee🥰🥰🥰 and we park the car and we’re just doing our thing, hanging out and talking and all of a sudden he says, “Close your eyes I got you something.” And I’m like omG🥺😭 THIS MAAAN. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 He handed me a gift wrapped in yellow wrapping paper(my favorite color.) Inside was a pack of 50 tea light candles (I use them for my baths), three 3-wick scented candles in some of my favorite scents, my favorite alcohol to help me unwind and a journal I had mentioned I had liked to do the prompts in. So I’m sitting there like 🥺🥰😍☺️ And he says, “I know you had a bad couple of days and self care is really important but you also deserve to be taken care of.” 🥺🥰💕 Needless to say, I spent the night with him that night and here’s the best part- I am not pressured into sex and it was strictly a “cuddle-buddy” type thing. Example #2- if he wanted to, he would.
This morning it’ll be roughly 2 weeks of us hanging out, he got me the gift a few days ago and last night I got dRuNk and kind of went on a manic-high episode to just spiraling big timeee. And I called him at 5:00 as I’m sobering up and I’m just telling him how I just don’t understand why my brain is the way it is and how the littlest of things set me off and how I was just so hungry but can’t eat. And he literally sent me $20, drove 30 minutes down here, took me to a breakfast place at 7:00am and we had a little breakfast date, we sat in his car/drove around for a few hours and when I told him I should go home to get some sleep, he stopped at the grocery store and bought me something to put in my fridge for lunch AND dinner. IF HE WANTED TO, HE WOULD.
I am so blessed. I think this “relationship” is going to work out. I’m hoping I’m not speaking too soon. And I hope I have things to add soon.💛
