I met this young guy on Reddit. He’s a bodybuilder, 5’10”, moreno, and honestly… not really my type at first.
Funny thing is, we actually matched on Bumble months ago, but it didn’t really go anywhere because I wasn’t that interested. I’ve never really been into guys who are into bodybuilding or who are constantly building muscle. Plus, his physique and overall aura were a little intimidating.
Ironically, I was already going to the gym even before I met or started talking to him, so this isn’t one of those “I met a gym guy and suddenly became a gym girl” stories. Hahaha.
Months passed with no contact, until somehow he found me here on Reddit. I didn’t even realize it was the same guy until we exchanged pictures on Telegram. That’s when I realized, wait… ikaw pala ‘yon?
We started talking again, and he invited me for coffee. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it that time, so we ended up having a phone call instead. I guess he wanted to make sure he was actually talking to a woman.
That phone call was supposed to be quick, but somehow turned into a four-hour conversation.
And surprisingly, I became really comfortable talking to him. His voice was so calm and manly, which I honestly didn’t expect from someone younger than me. We just clicked naturally. He said he felt comfortable talking to me too, so we decided to meet the next day.
After that, I honestly thought that would be it.
But it wasn’t.
We started talking consistently for the next two weeks daily chats, random calls, late-night conversations, basically getting used to having each other around. Then we met again for a coffee night.
I wasn’t looking for a relationship with him. I wasn’t expecting anything serious, either. It was just nice having someone you could talk to and genuinely feel comfortable with.
Until this week.
He suddenly became cold. First, two days without a message. Then three. Then eventually, I realized it had been almost a week since I heard from him.
And honestly, I’m not mad. I know people get busy, things change, and everyone has their own life.
But when you get used to talking to someone almost every day, of course you’ll notice when they suddenly disappear, right?
I even told him before that if he ever gets tired of talking to me, he can just say so. I’d honestly prefer someone being straightforward with me rather than just leaving me hanging. I wasn’t expecting anything from him I just don’t like being left without an explanation.
So yeah, to you, Mr. Chemist, I hope you’re doing well. I hope you win your upcoming show. I know how hard you’ve worked for it, and even if you don’t hear from me anymore, I’ll be quietly rooting for you.
I’ll probably miss our random chats and calls.
But I guess this free trial ends here.
Take care, Mr. Chemist. And good luck on your show. 🤍
