Yo fam,
We matched on Tinder about a year ago and boy was I skeptical. Skeptical because I'm not foolish and I know what Tinder is all about. I mainly used the app as a confidence booster when I was feeling bad about myself. One match, one pat on the back about my physical appearance. It's shallow but it would help. I didn't plan to respond to your initial message and looking back now I couldn't even tell you what was said between us. All I remember is that we exchanged numbers and plans to hangout.
The only twist was they never went through.
We have never actually met, but boy were you relentless. As our plans to hangout fell through I figured it was a waste of time talking to you anymore...obviously you did not. For well over a month you would text me and I rudely would not answer (sorry for that). Until one day I did, I was feeling pretty crappy and needed a friend and there you were ready to listen. Since then we have talked almost every day but the closest I've come to meeting you was seeing you at a game I was working at. But the crazy thing is you've become one of my dearest friends. I trust you with more than I trust most people, I never hesitate to tell you what's on my mind and I'm always a listening ear when you need someone to talk to.
It's honestly the strangest friendship I've had in my life, but for us it works. We text and snap each other like we hangout on a regular basis. You know every single button to push that makes me want to fight you and at the same time you know what to say to make me feel okay when I'm sad. The year that you've been in my life was, as you know, a strange year for me but having you to turn to made things easier.
Like any friends we've had our ups and downs but unlike any friends we've never really apologized for them. We just stop talking until one of us gets their life in order and texts first. But it works for us, it's what our friendship is. It's weird, unconventional, strange, out of the ordinary, crazy, odd and any other word you can think of but I wouldn't change it for the world. Eventually we'll meet; I mean it's bound to happen but until then I'll continue to be the crazy, sassy, overly dramatic blonde that challenges every thing you say and constantly forces you to think deeper into life.
Much Love,
The friend you never met
(I'm probably a catfish)
