I've read a few great article on this platform on love, and how it felt to be with someone you love, rather than someone you desire after.

Back to the story
To be honest, I've never been in love before, or should I say, I've never found someone I truly adore. I'm not sure why, but I'm fine with it. But, because of the situation in which I was involved, I've changed my mind about love and realized that being in love is truly worth it.
This happened two years ago, when I was accepted into the University of Lagos in Nigeria. I wasn't on any social networking platforms at the time, but I felt compelled to join in order to contact with old pals from secondary school, and as a result, I met more friends.
I also tried other social media platforms, such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, out of curiosity, and learned how to utilize each of them.
For a few weeks, everything was usual. I joined Twitter until one fateful day when I received a recommendation from Twitter about a girl named Bridget whom I requested to follow. Before following her, I checked her display picture, but she had her dog pet as her dp.
She messaged me a few minutes later, and that's how our conversation began; sometimes we have a 3-hour conversation, and we communicate as if we knew each other.
It got to the point where I was so captivated with her that I wanted to talk to her all the time, but my head kept telling me..... I'm not sure if she's a girl or if she's a fraudster utilizing a female identity to defraud people on the platform...... So I requested for her contact information and tried to move the conversation to Whatsapp.
She didn't give me her phone number at first, but she did give me her Instagram handle and the same pet as her dp. To shorten a long story short, we talked for about two months.
I got to know her more and we became friends without ever meeting one other; it's been a long time since I've had a friendship like this. With each passing day, we grew closer, and I eventually fell in love, but I can't confess to someone I've never met, but after our conversation, I'd say.... I like you.
You don't know how I look? she inquired. And you like me despite the fact that we've never met? Is that even possible?
I said.... I am one who tries to warble into one's heart for reasons other than her beauty or appearance.
Thank you, she said, and she end the convo.
The next day, she messaged me, and when I opened the messages, they were loaded with her photos; for the first time, I saw her photos, and she was incredibly cute; I've never seen anyone come close to her in terms of attractiveness. Her grin was enough to make you fall in love with her.
I completely fell in love with her; prior to meeting her, I was the guy who had never considered having a girlfriend and assumed that all girls were the same because of some experiences my friends had had.
After some time, we got to know each other better and began to meet more frequently in our favorite area, and she struck me as a beautiful girl with the best values I'd ever met.
But the relationship was short-lived; she was on vacation at the time we met, and she has since returned to her homeland, though we still talk now and then.
Then I discovered how true this Susanna KaysenΒ Quote was, Not everything has a happy ending, and not everything has an ending. Some things just kind of dribble away or cut off abruptly.
That was my first trial of love and for now that is the last because I don't buy the idea of dating anymore, because I learnt that dating is a way of practicing divorce, we all date to find wether we are suitable for each other and if not we end the relationship. That's the idea of dating.
If I'm wrong about the idea if dating you can prove me wrong I would be waiting
Thanks for your valuable time reading this β€! Freedom cares
That's how love works, it lets us experience the happiness then pain. Though it hurts, but this is the reality and we have no choice but to accept it.
