He has a candle lit, two wine glasses, and texted “you up?” — it’s a Carteret love story in motion.

He wasn’t smooth. He rambled. Said too much. Laughed at his own awkward timing. But you couldn’t stop smiling, because all of it was real — and real is rare in a world of curated replies and delayed heartbeats.

He ghosted you but kept your number. That’s GaysNear soft-block energy.

The camera was shaky, the light was awful, and he was chewing on his lip like he didn’t mean to turn you on. But he did. Not because of the shot. Because of what he didn’t hide: the pause, the blink, the sudden softness when he said your name. That’s what you played back. Twice.

He said he didn’t want anything serious — then asked if you believe in soulmates.
