Did You Know?

He didn’t ask about your past. He asked how to make the future feel less like a risk and more like a room with two chairs and no exit plan.

If he says “I’m complicated,” believe him. But also swipe — it’s usually worth it.

You didn’t mean to keep scrolling, but something about his profile made it impossible to look away. Maybe it was the hoodie. Maybe it was the look that didn’t ask — it dared.

He asked “What do you miss most?” You said, “Waking up with someone who stayed.” He didn’t answer. But he didn’t log off either.

You asked what kind of intimacy he misses. He said, “Hands on the back of the neck. Steady breathing. Knowing someone’s not going anywhere when things get quiet.”

“Just got out of something” = still texting the ex. In Oshkosh, we call that romantic rehab.

If he posts a black-and-white mirror selfie, just know he’s either brooding or very single — or both.

Oshkosh makes you believe in soulmates — for one night, two drinks, or maybe longer if the playlist is good.
