I need to make a move or I'll be stuck forever. But it's not easy, and this story might genuinely sound crazy. We met on a penfriend app, we were from the same country and instantly clicked. We wrote to each other a whole lot of letters, in summer almost once a day, and they were becoming deeper and deeper. We shared so much without feeling judged, he admitted he missed hearing from me when I stopped writing for a long while for personal problems, we shared movies, songs, life stories, jokes, sad news, and we were there for each other no matter what. We didn't even know each other's appearance but we connected like with no one else. It wasn't easy for him to be open and vulnerable, he was not used to it, and maybe that's why my affectionate nature might've caught him by surprise. But isn't it incredible that someone as shy as him, he admitted liking my words that much? He supported me when I was going through a difficult time, he always cared about everything I wanted to share, he listened to every single one of my recommendations... So I ended up suggesting a real life encounter during the winter, and my god it was one of the best experiences of my life. We walked through the city together all day, shared funny stories, visited a museum, exchanged christmas gifts. I saw he was shy, and I was too, but by the end of the day we were laughing together because of his grandpa's crazy stories and watching the sunset together. I might be dumb, or he might be, but we didn't confess. Yep, watched a whole ass sunset together and didn't say anything, nor tried to kiss. I thought it was too soon, I was shy, I don't even know why I didn't do that, I just know I want to experience this again and finally tell him. I'm such an overthinker I can't even fully convince myself he likes me even though this guy via text admitted that he loved spending the day together and that he'd love to be the one organizing the next trip. I gotta make a move, damn. Especially cause I will move for university quite soon, and it will be a bit further away from him than it is rn, so I think we need to define what we are before I start this journey. It would make it much easier. Problem is we both are really busy with life and exams and we are waiting for the right day to meet up... it's not easy to organize straightaway, but we gotta do it before march, before my uni starts. So yeah, I just really hope this guy likes me back because meeting him felt like a miracle to me, and after months of writing to each other, his hug was the best gift I could have asked for, and I want to feel it again soon.

So these type of things do in fact happen outside of movies? I’m so so so so so happy for you!!! And not rushing things and the slow burn is sometimes just better ? I just wanted to comment that this sounds so darn lovely I might just be fuming with envy(in a good way lol) however, I hope things turn great and even greater in the future. Don’t be afraid of challenges and problems will always occur. But you’ll get through it stranger, take care;)

Aw this response genuinely made my day dear stranger. 💖 Thank you thank you :)) Wishing you a movie romance as well, you deserve it! And btw we managed to arrange a short meeting before I move for uni. So... Hoping something, even very small, happens :)
