There really ought to be some PSAs playing in the weeks leading up to and after Valentine’s Day. We don’t talk about it a whole lot, but this time period is rife with bad choices for plenty of lonely people.

A week later, and just a few days before Valentine’s Day, he slid into my DMs and told me that he was interested in me. Romantically.
Had it been any other dude online, I never would have responded to his advances. But in my mind, he wasn’t just any guy online. He was somebody whom I was already attracted to before we ever even spoke online.
When I discovered that he was also thinking about me, the whole thing seemed like kismet. Practically everything that happened in that first week felt like we were tragically “meant to be.”
