@Yen 19 July 2021 more from that month

An assuming kind of mind.

I am scrolling on my feeds of my dating application when I recieved a friend request from a guy that's hides in an anime avatar. I accepted his friend request and we started to have a conversation. **Me**: *What are you doing here in this dating application?* **Him**: *I just installed it out of curiosity and also just a change of pace.* To be honest I didn't know the meaning of the word ***pace*** that's why I search it in google and find out that the meaning of that phrase is ***a change from what one is used to.*** I know he is not a typical guy that I met online because he was serious and maybe he tell the truth that he only installed the application out of curiosity. ***Me***: *So , what do you do now?* I stated to ask questions to know him more. **Him**: *I am computer engineering graduate and I am working as an instructor Bulacan State University.* I got more interested to him because of his course and also on his job and think that this man is an intelligent man and for sure I will have a quality conversation to him. He also asked me a several questions and I answered it honestly. ***Him***: *What keeps you busy? Are you also working? What make you installed this application?* ***Me***: *Yea , I'm working in Makati as a Data Lift Auditor. Hmm , just like your reason? Change of pace haha and also random people I can talk too when I'm bored.* Our conversation continue and I mentioned to him that I want to travel sometimes then he invites me to have a travel with him. **Me**: *Are you serious for this? I want to travel just to breath out.* ***Him***: *Yes I am , it would be exciting. Traveling with a stranger.* I am serious with what I said and I told him that maybe we can set a travel going to Sandbox in Pampanga. I choose this place because he lives in Bulacan and I am from Manila and it's both near to us. ***Him***: *Are you sure for this?* He asked me the same question I asked him last time *Do you want to travel with me? Do you trust me instantly even if you met me virtually?* ***Me***: *Hey! I am not a minor anymore and we will travel on daytime and we only go there tru commute so why I am going to be worried?* ***Him***: *You're right. Do you want me to go in Cubao Terminal so that we ride the bus together? Or we just meet up in Dau?* ***Me***: *To be honest , I really had no idea how to go there but if you want to go in Cubao that's more better.* I am looking forward for that travel and day by day we always talked about it. We had a regular conversation everyday and talk about a lot of things and one of them was the cosplay thingy. **Me**: *Do you love cosplaying? I saw it on your Facebook account.* **Him**: *I really do. Do you love cosplaying also?* **Me**: *Not really into cosplay but I have attended different cosplay events in Megamall because my officemates invite me too.* Then I sent to him my picture with one punch one and others cosplayer there and he said he also attended that event. **Me**: *Oh maybe we see each other there but we are not aware hehe.* **Him**: *Maybe we can go together on the next cosplay even if you want?* **Me**: *Oh sure! That would be a great idea*. A week before our Sandbox travel , we had a conversation that end up in arguments. It was him who asked me questions that is not good to my sight and makes me back out to that travel. **Him**: *Hey! What if you fall in love with me after that travel?* **Me**: *Where this words coming from? Who's the one who open up this travel chuchu? It was you right? Do you think that I said yes to you because I have a feelings? You're mistaken. It's not what you think.* **Him**: *Why so defensive? I am just asking. It's sounds that you're somehow guilty.* **Me**: *Then think what you want to think. Let's cancel our travel and end this discussion.* **Him**: *I'm sorry , I am just want to clear things up because I dont want you to get hurt that's why I asked you. I am single now but my heart is taken by a girl who's my bestfriend.* **Me**: *Hey! You make me laugh! Hahahaha. Don't worry. I will not be hurt because like what I said from our first conversation I am just here to make a random conversation to people and nothing more than that.* After our conversation he started to call me Ate , an elder sister and start to open up about his girl bestfriend that he loves. Our Sandbox travel? We choose to cancel it because I don't want that very assuming kind of mind. Thank you for reading this boring story of mine.
