This might be a long read so feel free to skip ahead.
It happened last year. I have known her for more than 5 years now. We were really close, but both of us never considered each other as romantic partners. We used to hang out often. Both of us even had other romantic interests and discussed about them too. Both of us are from the same city but study at different colleges so we could only meet up during breaks.
She usually sent me pics when she was dressed well for any special occasions. One day last march she sent me a pic and asked me how she looked. Since both of us were close enough to joke around about almost anything, I told her that she looked like snack. I didn’t really think much about it then, but I guess that was the point where the flirting started.
