So, I've been meaning to post something about what happened to me for the past few days, because it fucked me up, and I've got a cautionary tale for anyone that thinks they're falling in love, but with someone that may be bad for them.
All pictures are of a soon to be relevant trip the team takes up to Canada
It all started...
>About 11 months ago
>Had a crush on an upperclassman girl that was dating some douchebag, we're all in the same athletics program together
>Her name is Arica
>Solid 8/10, had a few mental issues (or a dozen in hindsight), insanely cute
>Found out from a close friend that the two broke up over the summer
>Immediately spring into action and slide into her kik
>"Hey, I heard you and Ryan had broken up, I'm sorry to hear that. How are you doing?"
>Play League of Legends while I wait for a reply, because I am a massive nerd
>Three hours later, "Oh that? That was months ago. I'm doing fine. How are you?"
>"I'm doing great thanks..."
>Continue smalltalking myself into a corner until eventually the two of us kinda get bored
>"It's getting kinda late, anon, I'm gonna take my meds and go to bed."
>"Alright, goodnight, Arica."
>Ended up being a four hour conversation and it was well past midnight
>Pass out feeling giddy that I got to talk to her
>Wake up feeling relaxed and energetic
>We don't text the entire day, I'm not concerned, we just started talking after all and she has other friends too
>The next day hit her up, "Hey, how're you doing?"
>This goes on for a while, both of us texting every other day or so, casually
>Eventually she starts initiating conversations
>A month passes and we're talking every single night from 9 or so until 1 in the morning
>Fastest I've ever become close friends with someone

Origiorio
>I start to get bits and pieces about her past
>Little scraps of story here and there
>Her parents split when she was little, and she bounces between households
>Her dad was abusive and she resented him
>She grew up dirt poor and barely had enough food to survive most of the time
>I start archiving all of the things I learn about her and commit them to memory
>Start talking to my other friends a little bit less, getting offline earlier each month to talk to her
>Friends comment about how I'm always texting in our League of Legends games
>Ignore the heckling a bit and enjoy the butterflies in my stomach I get from talking to Arica
>When I compliment her now she still is a little bit reluctant to encourage me, but I can tell she appreciates it
>She makes vaguely suggestive comments occasionally and I find out she's pretty open about her sexuality
>Fucking awesome
>We're two to three months in by now and we don't skip a beat
>We both enjoy texting eachother when we're bored, horny, hungry or whatever
>Basically my entire days are spent just texting her
>No topic is off limits either, this girl is a fucking legend and does not give a shit about topic boundaries
>We've had full scale discussions of our sex lives (Mine being nonexistant, and hers being limited to her previous ex)
>Interestingly, she initiates most of the conversations about sex, and I just kinda awkwardly go along
>Don't wanna scare her off, not sure if she's coming on to me or if she's just this way around her friends
>Assume the latter (safe assumption)
>Enjoy every second of her backing me into conversational corners and forcing me to answer questions about my perversions
>We frequently will "Play a game of questions" which is literally just asking whatever comes to mind
>Truth or dare, but with no off limits topics or backing out essentially.
>I find out muuuch more about her through our games as time goes on
>Three months in now, I can't say I've ever had a friend I knew more about
>Even the best friends I ever had kept a mountain of secrets from me
>She tells me so much about her I have a hard time keeping track of it all
>Still feels surreal just how well we knew eachother so early on
>She does keep me at arms length though about the most personal things
>I understand completely and remind her that she never has to tell me anything she doesn't want to or is uncomfortable with
>That scores me some sweet, sweet friend points
>For a girl with mental issues I note they're oddly missing from our talks
>She seems normal as anyone else I've ever met, with the exception that I have to remind her to take her smorgasbord of meds every now and then
>When she's off her meds she has a few different personalities
>If you're lucky she's loopy and manic, meaning she's really openly sexual and flirty
>If you're unlucky she's apathetic and cold, but she still tries to be optimistic
>If you're really unlucky she's literally depressive and borderline suicidal at times
>I wouldn't get to see the third until much later
>The first two I was well acquainted with by three months, and I was used to it, almost found it to be an endearing quirk
>I was completely head over heels, and she had found a new best friend
>Start building up the courage and work through my crippling beta-ness and try to ask her out
>Fuck it up and stammer my way out sheepishly a few times before asking for real
>When I finally manage to ask her it's about three and a half months and that's when shit started to get interesting, really fast...
I'll post more tomorrow, it's late ASF here
