Well, i’m not an expert or good for the opening letter, blog etc. the point is i’m gonna tell you how’s the connection start. FYI, this is gonna take a long time to read. Okay begin!
I matched with him on my second or 5th day by of course playing with the online dating app. I didn’t expect that would happened, so i give it a waved to him by saying hi first but that’s how the app works. The female should make the first move in 24 hours or they’re both gonna lose the chance to be connected. in other words the both sided will be expired and gone. you can’t see each other again. Bye to my almost future lovers hahha i’m trying to make it fun. That’s for the free user like me hahaha this explicit information to leaves no room for questions.
Okay where was i, oh i see... yeah I started by making the first move and put in to my expectation that he wouldn’t say back. Like i said before, he knows how “good looking i’m” person. just to be clear, i made the first move to 3 or 4 people at once that time. Not only just him. So the other guys approaching me quick and in return the conversation is ended up soon. It’s almost a day, (oh yess for more detail information, if the guy didn’t reply to your message in 24 hours both of you be automatically expired or unmatched and can’t see the person in any algorithm to be match again)
That day, i can’t tell the exact time. But in my memories it’s already 18 or 20 hours gone and he still didn’t reply to my message yet. then in the fine afternoon, the notification pop up with his name first so in a rushed i opened it with excitement then
Me “i’m working now the deadline is coming, what about you?”
“Where do you work? So do i”
Me “my office base in Jkt but i’m working from home now. I’m negotiating to remote my work. Where do you work?
“Oh really? What kind of division? I’m working at keep keep as a financial accounting”
Me “is it possible to preorder a vinyl there? I’m as an interior designer there”
“What kind of album that you’re looking for?”
Me “say sue me semin or belle and sebastian if you’re feeling sinister”
“the album is still available, the belle and sebastian. How long you should take work from home?”
Me “until the pandemic is over hahaha”
“Oo, do you have an instagram?”
“What the id? Anyway your pictures is nice” (this is the part makes me feel on cloud nine. is it for real? I’m a lil bit flattered back then)
Me “weee thanks, *my id” (i thought after i gave him my id, he’s gonna follow me on instagram and then gone. The truth is not. Still wondering about it)
“Do you like hiking? Do you know the best spot hiking in bandung?”
Me “that’s my thing! In bandung, tahura is the only place i know. Do you like hiking too?”
Me “oh really? How far you were going?”
“Batu jajar haha, where you’re graduated?”
Me “itenas hehe, and you?”
This is where the conversation dried, he didn’t text me back. It drives me crazy, and i had the catastrophic thinking about it. Like “why i said something like that? Why i only said yes instead asking him something? He left me 2 days to be wondering
“Sorry, i’m busy lately. I can’t stand the vaccine by the way” (the first thing come to my mind is, this guy is really talk with me? Or he get the wrong address by sending this to me. Maybe it’s for the other girl)
Me “oh really? How come? My friend told me yesterday, his bones are heartburn. Do you feel the same way?”
“12 days ago, my body getting bump”
“Something like that. I don’t want to talk about it. Where usually you go to get coffee?” (See, he makes me think he’s a lil bit into me. Now i know that he’s just being nice)
Me “get well soon p! Still a second batch to be vaccinate soon. Hmm i’m not into coffee person but i like to go to antico. How about you?”
“Well, thank you ci!! Around 12-14th will be vaccinate. Oh that’s really nice, sometimes we can grab a coffee there, if the place is less people” (hhh what a memory)
Me “how fast you get the second vaccine around 12-14th, I thought you must wait till 3 months later. How lucky you are getting the vaccine. Actually that’s why i always go there, because the place is quite. Let’s gooow. Keep me an update when you get better” (i wish I didn’t say the last part)
“Not really, it’s 28 days after the first batch. Okay cici” (maybe when he said my name like that, he thinks “why this girl in a rush and full with the excitement? Maybe i shouldn’t saying like that,” he’s instant regret over me, just my assumption)
Me “how fast. P, do yo listen to khruangbin?”
“Don’t ask. There is another, yin yin”
Me “have you heard their new album?”
“I have, but for me the best album is still “the smiles upon time” really great😢” (he said more about stuff he’s into it, like waw it amazed me hahah)
Me “all time favorite album for everyone, but the con todo el mundo is good too. I listened to yin yin, “the rabbits that hunts tiger is great. P, you also like kikagaku moyo too?”
“One inch punch👍. I went to their concert in jakarta, Alhamdulillah it was fun and they all nice”
Me “green with envy hahaha, you talked with them? Wk curious”
“Yessss, they’re almost go to bandung. They are kind of a hippie person”
Me “wah, for real? Cool haha, yeah but they’re cool”
Me “do you watch how i met your mother?” (At the time, i don’t want the conversation ended soon and asked him this)
“What do you watch ci? well no, i’m a bit selective with some series’s hahaha” (for the first time he laugh this long, drop it ci)
Me “last time i watched seaspiracy, not the series actually haha. oo i watched anime hahaha attack on titan”
“Netflix right? Documentary. How about healing?”
Me “yess, not yet. Are you done? *I gave him the screenshot of my netflix home page* no healing”
“Sorry, HEAL. It’s good for self improvement”
Me “i just found it, the “guide to meditation” *i thought it’s another title for healing* it’s on my list but I haven’t seen it yet. Wait, is that correct?”
“Heal, right?” (At that time I thought he get annoyed by me)
Me “yes heal, sorry for confusing you haha” (this text sent at 18.20pm and I thought he would ended the convo with me bcs i’m a lunatic)
The next day, i got the notification from him like this
“Yup. Ci this is my number XXX-XXX” (on top of the world!)
Then we move to whatsapp. Not gonna tell you about the whatsapp conversation, it still remains my secret haha. This whole conversation above is for 2 weeks long. Don’t tell me, i know it’s a slow progress but that’s what makes me think he know how to play along. I think i’m not the only person contacting with him. That’s the one thing i’m sure of. He succeeded make me feel curious about him and he’s cool than any other guy i met there. I was feeling like a dog with two tails
