So firstly, I started a Tinder account just for the fun of it in late June. I didn't think I'd meet anybody that great on there, but it was worth a go, so what the hell. Most of my friends found out fairly quickly and they all thought it was pretty funny, especially the girls in my history class who told me to get it in the first place. Hmm...
Anyway, after about a week or so of using the app, I matched with this really cute girl and we clicked pretty much instantly. We were sending each other giant paragraphs of text ranging loads of different subjects, from philosophy to puppies in ball pits to Radiohead music videos. I simply couldn't believe my luck. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this girl, and that's so rare for me it's ridiculous.
However, as always, there was an issue. She lived about 70 miles away, so I couldn't exactly catch a bus and see her. I could catch the train and it would be costly, but it would definitely be worth it.
So in July, we met up in the middle for a date and for my first ever date, it was absolutely ridiculous. We had coffee (well, she had green tea) at a vegan cafe that was also in a Buddhist commune and then we went to an art exhibition that doubled up as a mini golf course. We played it and laughed at how pretentious the whole thing was. So yeah, absolutely ridiculous but also really fun and most importantly, I was with somebody who I just got along with really well.
Unfortunately, we haven't met up since then, but we've been talking constantly for nearly two months now and she seems like she's still really interested in meeting up again. She's currently busy with preparing for uni at the moment, along with moving house, meeting up with her friends before she goes to uni, etc. There isn't much I can do, really.
There's also the whole thing about her going to university and I'll be honest, that worries me quite a bit, mainly because of distance. It's A-Levels results day tomorrow and depending on what grades she gets, she's going to either Manchester, which is good because she'll be closer, or Kent, which isn't good because she'll be much further away and I'll pretty much be waving goodbye to any chance of this becoming anything more than it is right now. I'm really starting to get nervous about this as well as my own A-Level results.
So yeah. I really, really hope this isn't just a summer thing and that we can meet up more even after she's at university and I'll still be at college. She's such an amazing person to talk to and be around, so I hope this'll work.
Fingers crossed.

Spending another year with her
