So, the date is September, 2017, 3:00 AM. In my country, Facebook is the main social media platform that everybody uses. Since a lot of people uses that application, there's this thing that blew up allowing people to contact other people anonymously, kinda like Omegle's chat system but on Facebook. It was called, NearGroup and being an night owl, I was bored so I tried this new trend out. I got matched with a few random strangers that I only talked for a few minutes before matching to this specific "stranger" that I didn't know would turn out to be the love of my life. We matched and talked and talked sharing things back and forth, after several minutes she asked me what my Facebook account is so that we'll be able to be in contact after the anonymous chatting.

Back then, I was so conscious about myself, I was constantly doubting me that I don't look good and that people wouldn't like my appearance or just me, in general. So, I doubt that she'll like me and didn't hand my account first, but after some convincing, she convinced me and gave my name out. After that, she said goodbye and ended the chat. I still didn't know what her name is but that weirded me out, overthinking that I just gave someone my name and they know me but I don't know them or what if they're laughing at my face now.

After a few minutes, I received a friend request that didn't have any mutual friends and I knew it was her. It gotta be her. So I instantly accepted it and stalked her, and oh my god, she looks beautiful! That gave me more interest to talk to her. After this, we talked for hours and hours before deciding to sleep. We talked for months and months, and has confessed my love for her. This didn't affect our friendship and still talked like we used to, but I confessed to her because she at least deserves to know it. She's actually the first girl that I've ever talked to for a lot of time and she made me appreciate the fact that someone is interested in me.

The date is somewhere June or July of 2018. At this time, I was about to commit one of my mistakes that I still remember to this day. I actually thought that I'm wasting my time on her and that she'll never like me back, which is dumb, so for that, I decided to distant myself away from her (by not talking like I used to) to lessen my feelings and to help me move on from this. I also got addicted to a video game that took my interest resulting to us barely chatting. This continued for months until we finally stopped and has lost connection. This affected me but I thought it was a good thing back then because I'm no longer gonna be attached to a person that will never like me back.

Few months has passed and we barely had any conversation like we used to, like a few text and we're back to not talking. Our friendship kinda went down hill, same with my love for her until the time has come that we're not talking anymore. Months and months has gone by, she found someone that would turn out to be her boyfriend. I also talked to this one girl for a week but it didn't worked out. So, she now has a boyfriend and I'm happy for her at that time, the fact that she finally has someone she can share things to that wasn't me. We stayed friends on Facebook but didn't really talked to each other and now that she has a boyfriend, I'm not seeing any chances that she'll be with me.

During this time, I made a new account and deactivated my old account where we had all the conversations that we've made because I thought that would help me get over her. I regretted this now as I wanted to look at our old conversation but can't because apparently, her ex-boyfriend also deleted our conversation because of reasons. Fast forward to 2020, I also made another account and deleted the new account that I created 2 years ago so we weren't friends on Facebook anymore and I kinda looked at her as one of the person that I met and went away in my life and I'll never be in contact again.

The date is now November of 2020, we weren't friends on Facebook but apparently we we're following each other on Instagram which is a good thing. Around this time, the game called "Among Us" blew up and everyone in my country has been talking about that game, making memes on social media, etc. Around this time, I made content with that game that got me a few thousand subscribers and I posted it on my Instagram without knowing that she follows me. Hours later, she replied to my story! This shocked me as memories with her instantly came back and it got me excited. She congratulated me and told me to keep doing what I do and that she supports me. We talked again, sharing things with each other and told me that she also liked me back in 2017 but didn't confessed. I didn't think of it as anything else rather than friends because she still has her ex-boyfriend. She told me that we should play sometimes and I agreed.

Months has passed, she started to become more open to me and told me her problems with her ex-boyfriend, on how he's cheating on her not for the first time, but the third time. This would ultimately lead into her breaking up with him this January 2021 after months of deciding what to do and asking for advice. Her ex-boyfriend was that manipulative sad-boy and has done things to her that frustrates me. Anyway, she didn't think about our relationship would be greater than "just friends" as my approached towards her since we talked again in Instagram didn't showed any motive that I'll like her again (I guess I hidden it successfully). So when I confessed my love for her on January 2021, this shocked her but this time I'm not expecting anything on return, that she'll liked me too, learning from my past decisions and I confessed to her because I also thought that she at least deserves it, just like in 2017.

Now, we're going three months of love later this July and I'm so happy and proud that my first girlfriend is her, the woman I met online. I love her very much and she's the first one that ever made me feel what love is and it melts my heart seeing someone love me back like she did. This is where the story ends for now, I didn't know she'd be my girlfriend especially that she's loyal and has a boyfriend but it happened and I'm never gonna give it up (a little rick-roll, hehe).

If you made this far, thank you so much for reading this story on how I met the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Thank you.

​

TL;DR: I met my someone on Facebook in 2017 and we talked and shared things to each other. We eventually stopped talking in 2018 because I distant myself resulting to her having a ex-boyfriend. 2 years later, we talked again and she broke up with her ex-boyfriend for cheating and other reasons. Now she's my girlfriend.
