We met on Tinder, our intentions pretty clear from just being on that app. But I hadn’t expected the night I got out of it.
We’d been texting for a couple days, just the pleasantries of sexting, what we would do to each other when we’d meet, our future aspirations and some hobbies. Civ V being one of them. We agreed to play a game, both of us knowing we’d be in for the long haul together by just hitting start. After 50 turns, my nation getting their religion first and his claiming the library of Alexandria, it became all too clear who was going to win. Yet I still had a glimmer of hope as we bet timmies and other odds and ends. But as he won bet after bet, his nation almost conquering me, we had to call it there for the day.
