When A Text From Stranger-Until-This-Moment Warms The Cockles Of One’s Heart
Strange how a hi turns to casual flirting and that flirting turns to being sweet and being sweet turns to wishing we were together, together at this very moment. Strange how people who are far far away from us say hi on social media, dating sites, and things go up. We know there are scarce chances of our meeting, we know distance is a killer but sometimes with some people, these barriers just don’t make sense. It feels like something is better than nothing at all. We may not meet in future or maybe someday our paths will cross but right now, the way our hearts feel reading each other’s texts; that’s special. That’s strangely special. The happy-smiling-curl our lips draw when reading those texts is more special than the ones we have in the midst of a crowd of friends in any room. For some time now, I have tried to understand it, deduct answers to why, but so far, there are no specific answers I can come up with. We know, long distance hardly works, especially if you have never met in person but we go on and on and on. We don’t even know if we will meet over a coffee for that matter but we go on. They ask a question, you ask two and before anyone could know, we both travel miles in our minds, although for truth, we are still on our couch and beds. It’s strange.
Life is all about surprises. Isn’t it surprising how you feel close to someone who you just met? Sometimes you haven’t yet met even. You two have just shared few messages. It’s strange how you already feel close. Strange how it feels you already know each other long. The comfort level you share is just so unusual for two people who just started chatting.
Long Distances…
Take it from me. They are hard. If you ask my friend, he will tell you they are impossible even. But that’s not all. There is some charm about them. And if one of you is great at flirting then it is the best thing that could occur in any relationship. I have come to realize why. However open and cool you are, it is always hard to open yourself in a coffee shop on a first date. You think a lot over your answers, you deduct every upcoming sentence with the effect it will have, for you don’t know how the person sitting before you thinks or might act to certain responses of yours. For god-sake, it’s just now that you both have met. You have no idea about their life. And in that world-curling-down-to-you madness, it’s pretty hard to flirt fora average human soul. But texting? That’s a whole new ballgame. You can roll the red carpet and drop your flirty-head to roll as it pleases. Things could go places from there…
It’s wonderful to let yourself out there vulnerable every now and then, to take that personal risk and find out how far can it go. Here’s wishing you good luck. And don’t hold back. Go flirt with the person next block, next town or for that matter, someone living another side of the globe!
