Did You Know?
In Costa Mesa, someone saying “I don’t catch feelings” is usually the same guy who asks “did you miss me?” after 2 days of silence.
The background was messy. His hair was too. But you wanted to be there anyway.
He flirts like he’s not sure he should. But hopes you’ll stop him.
“Just a vibe” = no promises, deep eye contact, and a toothbrush in his drawer by Sunday.
If he says “don’t catch feelings,” he already has.
You weren’t even supposed to talk that long. But the call stretched past midnight. Past the second glass of wine. Past the part where your voice got soft and his got lower. It ended with a pause — the kind that doesn’t feel like goodbye, just breath held for part two.
“Not looking for anything serious” is usually followed by “So what are we doing this weekend?”
You said, “Don’t fall too fast.” He replied, “Too late. And I brought a parachute.”
