We Met Online - Chapter 2 Him

-Daniel’s point if view –

*grinning* Tss… what kind of biography is this ? Is this girl for real ? Never bumped into someone who takes it so seriously on this app. Although, I’ve been using it for almost 2 months now.

Even if she seems like some type of 70 year old prude, I do find it kind of entertaining.

And would you look at that, she didn’t even swipe on me yet. Hm , neither did she start talking. So is she just playing hard to get ? And all that is an act ? Interesting. *smile*

Well, since I can’t sleep, I’m sure she’ll bore me to it eventually.

Anya, huh ? Let’s see what you got, dear.

– 3 hours earlier-

*laying on bed*

Great, they’re fighting,again. Honestly, I can’t wait to finish uni and leave this house for good.

Ever since moving to this country, things didn’t get better at all.

-phone ringing : text message [ hey babe. you free tonight ? wanna come over ? ] -unknown number-

Right, I forgot to save the name of this one.

I wonder which one of them she might be.

I’d gladly use any excuse to leave this house, but I genuinely can’t be asked to pass by any of …THEM, now.

I’ll just figure out a way to get busy till I fall asleep. And what better way than to get new “acquaintances” online.

I’ll admit that, even if none of them girls on that app can keep a convo for more than 10 minutes, their clinging and asking for my number, after seeing me, never fails to pump my ego. Annoying, but flattering nonetheless. And they’re a good way to make me forget about ..her …

And so, Daniel spent a good amount of hours, ignoring texts of girls inviting him to parties or to their house, trying hard to act interested in all the NEW girls he was texting that night. Of whom names he forgot ,5 minutes after they started talking. (what a player this one -_-).

He couldn’t keep contact of all of them, he didn’t want to .. he didn’t NEED to. Neither was he interested in memorising the names and looks of people he’d forget the very next day.

Sure, the app didn’t have a profile picture feature, but that didn’t stop them from asking to see him. Didn’t stop those girls from sending their pictures after seeing what he looks like, either … ALL kinds of pictures. Although he was never mean, most of his compliments weren’t genuine if he had to be honest.

He wasn’t here to look for love after all, he thought. This is just a pass time- a pass time that wasn’t of the most noble. Since he was aware that even if the vast majority of the girls he chatted with, just wanted what he wanted, to hookup. A few were genuine and would seem like “nice girls”, which wasn’t his type, not the type he needed , at least. But deep down, he did it for their sake.

Daniel never considered himself to be a good person. He’s cheated on his girlfriends, got temporary ones for the sake of doing his homework , even got some to make a friend jealous or to prove a point. But he never treated them badly (yeah sure -_- side from the cheating -_-and using him to his own selfish intentions) and he knew his way to women’s hearts. That’s why so many still reached after him and couldn’t get over him, even after discovering he cheated.

Despite all that, “no virgins” was his motto. Not because they were more keen to lack in the experience department or because they would be a bother to deal with. But more so because they weren’t the type to look for the same thing he was looking for.

Such girls would have their emotions to offer, and despite what anyone might think, he didn’t want to break anyone’s heart, tried not to at least.

As a broken man, he’d only mess with broken women, like him. who knew what they were getting themselves into by being with him, and who won’t expect anything more that what he had to offer.

Destroying someone who offered genuine feelings for him would only be a burden and tournament him, since he wouldn’t be able to reciprocate their feelings.

(what a softy this one is ..geez *^*)

he was done, bored, tired, uninterested but still couldn’t get himself to sleep. Thus, pressed that “search for new friend” unwillingly, certain that this was an other waste of time but- wait … what on earth is this profile… looks like someone exploded a piata in here… And … how far does this bio go ? He thought, trying hard not to laugh out loud while reading it.

that was Anya’s profile.
