Just got back from coffee with this girl I matched with literally 48 hours ago and my brain is honestly buzzing right now. Usually I’m the type of person who stays in the "chatting phase" for way too long. Like, I’ll be texting someone for three weeks until we basically run out of things to say and the whole thing just fizzles out before we even meet in person. It’s exhausting tbh and such a waste of time. But this time we just clicked immediately. The banter was there from the very first "hi," so I just went for it and asked if she wanted to grab a drink or coffee today. No games, no waiting for the "perfect" moment.
I’m so glad I didn’t wait. We met at this tiny place downtown and it wasn't awkward for even a second. No "interview" vibes, no weird silences where you're just staring at your cup. Just pure flow. We ended up sitting there for like two hours and I’m pretty sure the barista wanted us to leave so they could close up lol. It’s wild how you can just tell when there’s a real, genuine connection. I’m still smiling while typing this on the bus home.
I know it's super early and I’m definitely riding that post-date high, but I’m already thinking about the long game with this one. I actually stumbled on a post about how to reignite relationship spark which sounds a bit weird to be reading when you literally just met, but I really want to keep this energy alive. It had some really good advice on keeping things exciting once the initial rush settles down, and honestly, I’m hoping this goes that far because she’s amazing. It’s good to have those tools in the back pocket just in case things ever get stale down the road.
If you’re stuck in a loop of endless texting with someone right now, just ask them out already. Seriously. Life is too short to be a pen pal for a month. If the vibe is there, it’s there, and you’ll know it the second you sit down. Now I just gotta plan a killer second date because I’m definitely not letting this one slide. Feeling pretty great about things for once.
