Hello love?

Usually I'd be asleep by now because work is exhausting and the only bit of energy I have left would be for the dogs. But since we had sensory evaluation in the laboratory and I'm pretty overloaded on ice cream, O thought I'd type away all the excess energy I still have left.

In relation to the "love month" I figured I'd write something related to romance and maybe my love life so far 😅😅😅 don't judge, I just don't know where to put this. But yeah, I think I have a love life again?

It's been a little over a year since I broke up with my last ex. It wasn't pretty and I kind of got over it after 2-3 months because I had board reviews and because I got too immersed in arts. In between those months of being single though, I didn't even feel single 😂 my friends kept recommending guy after guy to me. Dating app after dating app. This was solely for the reason that they want to see me get married and be happy.

I kept telling them that I'm happy with my dogs and the art community I'm in. I swear, I am! And I'm happy with my new planting hobby but you know friends. They really want to attend your wedding for some reason so they just kept referring guys and idk, I tried but a lot of people just don't click with me.

Around the time I finished my board exam, my high school friend recommended that I try this dating app called "boo" because it's full of nerds like me. Maybe someone would give me the convo I was looking for. I gave it a shot cuz I know she won't stop pestering me about it 🤣

So I installed it, gave it a few swipe left and right, talked to a few people and true enough, they were nerds that value intelligence. I found my kind of people 😂 and through a series of elimination, I ended up with this one guy. I call him CJ but his name is ancient 😅

So yeah, we've been talking since the start of November and since the start of 2022, he's been attempting to court me. And take note, he live in the US so we have only seen each other through video calls and stuff.

What I find amusing is that he set up a big piggy bank in his room (it's actually a giant bottle he bought but he still calls it a piggy bank) and labeled it "airplane ticket funds" and every day, he made sure he would add something to it. I'm not sure about his saving progress but aside from that, he's been asking me out on movie dates and art dates when I'm free from work.

The movie dates are fun because we mostly have the same preferences. So if it's not Disney or Pixar, we go with horror or something new on netflix. We've been planning on running an anime series but those usually take longer than movies so I have no idea if we can do an anime marathon.

We've been doing these movie dates for maybe a month now? And it's always something to look forward to on the weekends UwU

I believe this weekend, we'll try a virtual cafe date so we agreed to both go to Starbucks and show each other the shop difference. I mean, it's not much of a date but it is something and I have no complaints so far. It's already been 4 months and a lot has changed. For once, I'm getting into fights with a guy and before the day ends, the issue is resolved. He actually puts in more effort on me compared to the other people I've dated so now I'm waiting to see if we can see each other by the Ber months. Because that's his target time but I think he's just trying to get it as close to my birthday as possible.

This is all from me today UwU

I really need to start drafting articles. Hopefully tomorrow night, I can start on that ;;-;;
