Did You Know?

You said “I think I feel too much.” He said, “That just means you’ll notice when I start falling.”

You weren’t supposed to care. But now you’re staring at a blank chat box, rewriting a message you’ll probably never send. He’s online. You see it. He knows you see it. And still, you wait. Because maybe this time, the silence means something.

In Gary, “Just good vibes” usually comes with a playlist, two wine glasses, and unsent feelings.

He left you on read, then replied 3 days later like nothing happened. That’s what we call the Gary reset.

You’re not a real Gary user until someone has complimented your smile… and ignored your next three messages.

You weren’t sure if this was going anywhere. But when he asked if you wanted to share a song and listen to it at the same time, your heart said yes before your fingers could type it.

He said “Be chill” — then triple-texted, watched all your stories, and asked if you were mad. Gary is built different.

“Don’t get attached” is usually said right before he makes you a shared playlist.
