Did You Know?

You didn’t mean to fall this fast. But he didn’t try to stop you either.

He said “Just be honest,” but flinched when you said you actually like him. Classic Shakopee whiplash.

You told him, “I’ve only ever been wanted for my body.” He said, “Then I’ll want the way your body holds joy, not just curves.”

He didn’t respond right away. You almost panicked — but when his reply finally came, it wasn’t just a message. It was a paragraph. It was layered. And somewhere in there, he said, “I didn’t want to send anything until I could say what I meant.” That’s when you realized: he takes you seriously.

You sent a selfie. He said, “You always look better when you don’t try.” And somehow, that felt more intimate than any other compliment.

You never talked about what this is. But every message feels like agreement. Every reply, consent.

You told him you’ve felt like a placeholder before. He said, “Then let me be the last one who ever treats you like a waiting room.”

He didn’t call you his type. He called you timing — strange, perfect, disruptive in all the right ways.

He doesn’t move closer to the camera. He waits for you to lean in. You do.

He didn’t try to impress. He just stayed. And somehow, that’s rarer than anything else you’ve found online.

You close the app. Then open it again. Just to see if he’s still there. Just to feel it one more time.
