It's funny how things work out~

It's approximately 10pm. I'm on my Facebook, browsing it as always. For some reason, I felt compelled to stay logged in even after browsing through all the new posts and stalking looking at my friend's walls for the umpteenth time. All of a sudden, I get a ding sounding through my speakers, signalling that I received a message from someone. It turned out to be one of my good friends that I met through, get this, PlentyofFish, back in 2010 or so. She started off the message with "hey beautiful", which of course got me embarrassed because none of my friends have ever said that to me before. We conversed for a little bit, and she said that she wished she was my girlfriend again. (We dated before, er, well, I wouldn't say dated, but it was some kind of relationship thing.) This got me puzzled, but also a bit intrigued, and of course the heart started going a little fast because I've always harbored some kind of feelings towards her, even if I never realized it. She had bad luck with the men she'd been with previously; all of them wanting sex.

We moved to Skype and started video chatting. Our conversation was full of laughs and we were able to be in comfortable silence while she looked for tattoos that she wanted to get and I browsed the internet. It never once felt awkward, which was a bit odd because I always felt I had to talk to most of my other friends (and especially potential girlfriends). However, my curiosity got the best of me, and I asked her through text what made her want to be my girlfriend again. I would have asked verbally, but a) I was embarrassed and b) this is the big one, my Dad doesn't want me to be gay so I can't mention anything about girlfriends or he'll get irritated. -facepalms- Back on topic, she said that she cared for me (I think she has for a while now) and that she missed me. 'Course, this got the whole heart speed up going again. In the end, she said that she wanted to try and if it didn't work out, she wanted us to stay friends. I reassured her that no matter what happened, I would always be her friend.

And thus, that is how I found myself a girlfriend when I wasn't even looking. It's funny how love always comes to you when you decide that you won't find it. How long this relationship will last, I'm not sure. She lives in Ontario, approximately 1,200 miles from me, but visits every summer and March Break with her family. She's planning to move down to where I live in four years. Who knows. This might be the keeper. We'll see what happens in the future.

That's my little update for the time being. Until next time~!
