newest boy is the saddest thing ever, but we need a bit of context. as is maybe obvious, I'm not american. last week I flew to the usa for a congress for 4 days, which was very cool. I got to present my research and meet a bunch of people and it was so so fun. and in-between those people was this guy: Prash. he's Nepali.
we met through other people, and tbh it's not like we immediately hit it off or anything, we just sort of got introduced and then he left and that's it. the congress was very big so the first day, after getting introduced, I didn't see him again (and I never mind). but then next day, there was a mixer for students and there, we met again and we actually talked.
at first it was like a small group of us, but after a bit we kinda just stood apart, talking together. and I mean, it wasn't much of anything, it was mostly about our countries and him offering me to come to his university (he's currently studying in america) to do an internship or smth. I wasn't even drunk (there was a stupid 2 drink limit at the event) but at some point he asked me if I could dance and we did like, awkwardly dance for a couple minutes. it was a dance from my country, where you do stand very close to the other person.
I have to mention here, that he was actually cute. like not even my-type-cute (i have niche taste), but like conventionally-attractive-cute. only downside is he was short- about my height, maybe a bit taller, but im short, especially by american standards.
and at the end, I did ask him for his number (with the excuse of getting more info on the internship) and he even put his name on my phone as like a nickname.
problem is, I think he may have given me the wrong number, OR I think he forgot to put the country code (cause my phone is from my country), and when I tried to text him it didn't go through.
next day we did run into each other but there wasn't much chance to talk and I couldn't tell him about it. and then, that was it. the last time I saw him was at the closing ceremony, but he was far away and we couldn't stand up, and even though I waved and he waved back as soon as it was over he left very quickly and I couldn't find him.
and I am sad, not because we had anything, not even like a moment of sorts, because I didn't exactly feel like I usually do with there things, you know, the sparks and butterflies and shit. buuuut
1- I was interested in the internship
2- he was so cute and so nice and we seemed to get along decently well so wtf
I tried texting him again, after correcting the number (I added the country code) and I am currently waiting to see of I hear back from him. and like, obviously I'm at the point of not expecting anything, I've practically given up
but gosh, things usually always go so well for me that I can't fathom this being the one loss I have to take.
any way, cross my fingers I'll update this with good news.
