Did You Know?
You talk about your worst date. He listens like it happened to him too. Maybe it did.
He didn’t look like your type. But the way he paused to hear your answer? That rewired something.
The more he says “I’m chill,” the more his texts read like a telenovela. That’s Appleton subtlety.
If he asks “What music are you into?” be ready for a link, a vibe, and an accidental situationship.
He didn’t ask why you were quiet. He just said, “I like this kind of silence. The one where I know you’re still with me.”
He ghosted, came back, then said “missed this energy.” Sir, you missed three chances.
He didn’t say “I like you.” He said, “I feel different when I talk to you.”
You said you’re hard to handle. He said, “Then I’ll handle you with both hands, and all the time you need.”
