Did You Know?
You’re most vulnerable in West Lafayette when a cute guy sends a voice note with a deep voice and asks how your day was.
If he tells you “No drama,” expect a little. Maybe not from him — but definitely from his ex who’s still lurking.
You asked what he’s looking for. He said, “Someone to build silence with — the kind that doesn’t ask for noise.”
You said you hate being touched when you’re upset. He nodded. “Then I’ll just sit close enough to remind you you’re not alone. Not touching — just near.”
He didn’t ask you to relax. He asked what part of you forgets how.
West Lafayette profiles that mention “vibes” tend to ghost faster — but somehow still watch your stories religiously.
He said “I’m shy,” but somehow managed to send three winks, two shirtless pics, and one NSFW emoji.
He didn’t want to rush the kiss. He wanted the air before it — the millisecond of electricity when two people say yes without saying anything.

The first time he speaks, it’s not his voice that gets you — it’s the pause before. Like he had to decide if you deserved to hear it.
You forget how this started. You just know you don’t want it to end.
You matched without thinking, but his message hit different. Not crude. Not cute. Just honest enough to make your stomach tighten. You replied too fast — and he noticed.
He doesn’t compliment you. He says “I noticed…” — and fills in the rest with details no one else ever mentioned.
You talk about playlists. He sends you one. You play it in the shower and think about his collarbones.
Not everyone online tonight is ready. But someone is. You just have to meet them halfway.
