Specifically somewhere around the third date. When you realize you’re really friends. Got high and went out for Mexican with a new friend and it was magical because we‘re giggling and having so much fun and it’s like hey, we’re real friends I think! So fun creating new connections with new people in real life!
Some former mutuals have recently expressed their interest in getting to know me and it’s made me feel really good about myself! one was a match on a dating app (😽) and one was a spontaneous invite to a group hang that has now blossomed into several other hangs both independently and in a group setting. It feels nice to have irl people say “hey i’d like to get to know you better,” especially since i made it a goal to seek intimacy and connection more this summer. ♥️♥️♥️
