Did You Know?
You told him you didn’t know how to be soft anymore. He said, “Then we’ll relearn it together. I’ll go first.”
If he types in all lowercase, he’s either emotionally deep or emotionally unavailable.
He said, “I’m usually the one who gives more.” You didn’t promise to change that. But you stayed an hour longer than you meant to, asked more questions than you usually do, and laughed like you meant it. Maybe that’s how giving starts — in the small things we don’t even realize we’re offering.
He read your pause better than your words.
You say something bold. He doesn’t reply right away. The wait burns worse than rejection. Then: “same.” And it’s better than yes.
He sends a pic with no text. You know what it means. Downers Grove doesn’t waste words at night.
He’s not loud. But when he says “come here,” you don’t question it.
He said “don’t catch feelings,” but keeps saying “you’re different.” Classic Downers Grove trap.

He’s eating chips on camera. You find it annoying. Then oddly sexy. Then unfairly distracting.
His thumbnail has a crack. His voice has a rasp. Everything about him is imperfect. And that’s why you’re still here.
