Since I am in the mood to chat, let me answer this question. We actually met through a small group chat my boyfriend had created. I was invited even though the group had been around for a while, so as a newcomer, I tried to talk a lot and make the group livelier. At that time, we hadn’t talked much and had only exchanged brief greetings. We didn’t even talk privately.

Then—though I honestly forgot who initiated it—we suddenly started DMing each other and chatting in a more personal space. We talked and talked, but only as friends. I even told him about all of my past flings.

Then, out of nowhere, I got busy and couldn’t reply to his messages anymore. I didn’t expect him to double-text me and keep the conversation going even though I barely replied.

Suddenly, he kind of changed (in a good way) and started giving me more attention. He tweeted something cryptic on his other account, and I caught it. I asked him who it was about and who his new crush was—at the time, I had no idea.

One thing led to another, and he finally confessed that the person he liked was me.
