hey, can you tell us the history of you and your girlfriend?
aww, yes I can, although i might get a little emotional in the process haha
well we first met back in 2006 i think, when we were both really big fans of Shakira, through what it used to be brazilians facebook called orkut
we started getting closer and in little time we were really big friends... it's kind of blurry for me now how we got together the first time because it's been so long and we were so young (I was 13 and she was 12 I think) but the fact is that we started dating in 2007...
the problem was that we lived very far away from each other, I lived in Portugal back then and she lived in Rio so you can see how this can get in the way... I also don't remember exactly when we broke up but we did and a while later I started dating another girl she used to be friends with... we still talked a lot though and I think she liked me for a while still but eventually we were just friends
in the following years we still chatted sometimes but we weren't very close... the funny thing is, we had the chance to meet each other! in 2009 I went to Rio but even though we had broken up a while ago at the time I was back with that other girl so nothing happened... we were still kind of young, idk I think I was 15 and she was 14??? and we were kind of awkward and never even mentioned the fact that we dated and just pretended it never happened... well until our friend brought it up and Lu (who used to be really shy) hit him and told him to shut up haha
but idk, I think we were in very different places by 2010 but still talked eventually, always flirting let me add because it's so funny to be to read these conversations now because it was so shameless haha... but she was dating someone and i was involved with someone i can only roll my eyes when i think about her now so it was about it
then last year we got close again, Lu used to call me drunk and say a lot of cute stuff and her friends would steal her phone and tell me things and I could hear her in the other end screaming at them and it was so funny... haha bb don't kill me for telling this!!! and I was supposed to go to Rio again in September and it was sort of implicit we would finally get together and everything but for personal reasons I chose not to, and ps: those reasons had absolutely nothing to do with her, it's a very long story... I was actually really frustrated for not going to Rio because I really, really wanted to see her, ugh. I even tried going there in July but I couldn't...
so this year we started talking again mainly because of tumblr I guess because somehow we like all the same things (SPECIALLY NOW THAT SHE IS WATCHING GAME OF THRONES i am so proud of you). then one day when we used to be online more often, someone asked me if I was dating someone, and then I replied something like: here's the room filled with people who want to date me (insert picture of an empty room)
and she replied it as: I'd be in that room
and idk what somebody asked her but it was something similar and I replied alongside those lines too and I remember it was a school day and jfc it was so late and went to sleep like 2 am because we were talking again and it was decided (aka I asked if she wanted to and she said yes) I would have to win her over
so I wrote reasons why we should be together and asked people to send her as questions, sent her texts, and we started thinking about it... and idk how but everything went very fast and after 2 weeks i think she asked me to go to skype so she could give me her answer and
surprise!!!
she said yes! haha
so we agreed to an open relationship since we live in different cities and etc etc but as time passed i think what was really vague and not really serious began to be really special and unique... she bought tickets to come to Sao Paulo and we started having a countdown of about 2 months to see each other...
and it scared me liking her so much because I had enough long distance relationships so know that it's really hard so I kind of tried to keep a safe space and even the concept of finally seeing her again was really really surreal to me... but it all changed when she came here
because I, and I think she didn't too, didn't think that it would be this amazing. I mean obviously we liked each other very much but it was completely off charts... I felt like I could be 100% me around her and it was okay. And so we stayed up until 8 am and we drank and we went out and we held hands and laughed (there was a lot of laughing) together, watched movies and silly tv shows together, woke up together and spent 6 days together as if we lived together... we had the most amazing days evne though we spent most of them home... well a few times we looked like an old married couple (a very cute one) like brushing our teeth together at the same time without even realizing it
so when she left ugh, ok I won't go there because it's painful, but let's just say it felt like there was a big elephant everywhere in my house telling me something was missing... that someone was missing... and we talked about it, a lot, and we cried a lot together too and idk, something changed.
for the better in my opinion, since now we're officially dating (that means we're exclusive as the kids call it) and we talk to each other all the time, skype more often and call each other and have cute nicknames and idk, as much as it all hurts, being apart from her and all, I cannot imagine myself without her
and hopefully I'll see her in two months :)
