I am a long time lurker, first time poster! This is a story of a modern age, the Tinder age! (disclaimer, happened a few years back). ** denotes the end of the back story.
So, a little back story (sorry, but its important for the rest of the post!) I am a 24 year old guy, around 5’9 with an athletic build (I am a Football player (Soccer to those of you that call it the wrong thing!)). After being single for a while my friends had convinced me to sign up to Tinder, reluctantly I did and started talking to some girls…nothing of note for the first week or so. One Saturday evening I was matched with an American girl (living here in the UK) called Sarah, who is 5 years older than myself. Sarah made the first move in messaging me, we exchanged messages for a while before realising we had an instant connection. Sarah gave me her phone number and asked if I would call her, I agreed. We spoke on the phone for hours, until around 3 AM. During this conversation there were no awkward silences, conversation flowed and only ended as we were so tired! The only down side to any of this is that we realised we lived around 2.5 hours away from one another.
