[Lucid:]

Heh. It's not a secret or anything. A mutual friend of ours was like, "I'm gonna hook you two up. You're both mopey introverts who like Fire Emblem and corgis. So clearly you're perfect for each other. Please let me be the flower girl at your wedding." (This friend is a 25 year old adult man...)

After he stuck the two of us into a facebook chat group and tried to get us to talk about things we had in common, I told him privately "I just don't think this is working. And you being IN THE CHAT GROUP WITH US makes it extra awkward."

Shortly after our friend backed out of the group chat and left it to just the two of us, we stumbled upon the fact that the two of us actually prefer to write multiple paragraphs at a time about whatever subjects come up, and respond to all those multiple thoughts at once, instead of instant message type small talk conversation. From that moment on we instantly clicked and were able to really open up to each other. It's hard to explain exactly what happened... I just trusted him instantly. We understood each other on a deep level. It felt like we'd always had those feelings, but just didn't know each other yet. Ugh, I don't want to sound too mushy gushy or anything. >.<
