Did You Know?

You sent a selfie. He said, “You always look better when you don’t try.” And somehow, that felt more intimate than any other compliment.

He didn’t ask what happened to you. He asked, “What do you need when you feel that version of yourself coming back?”

He didn’t make the conversation about him. But when he said, “I like hearing the sound of your thinking,” you suddenly felt like your brain had value outside of productivity.

He didn’t say he wanted to kiss you. He said, “I want to stand close enough that you think about it first.”

You told him you’re still healing. He said, “Then I’ll make sure I don’t interrupt the process — just become part of the peace.”

You’ll know he’s serious when he sends you a link to his playlist… and not his Snapchat.

The more vague the bio, the more intense the energy. Especially in Riverside.

He called you “trouble,” but kept texting. He likes danger — and he’s in it.

He’s not selling fantasy — he’s sending proof. The kind you recognize: creased sheets, bad lighting, a whisper that wasn’t meant to be sexy but still was. GaysNear isn’t a stage. It’s a window.

You thought this would be like every other chat. Then he asked if you’ve ever kissed someone you couldn’t forget. And waited.

You send him a meme. He replies, “I want to see you laugh in real life.” The screen heats up.

He’s not shirtless. But he might as well be — every inch of him is saying, “Come here.”

You didn’t expect to fall for the way he said “hey.” But there was something in it — a drop in tone, a pause before the second syllable — that hit below the waist.
