Ok, so I’m merrily swiping away on tinder when a face I vaguely recognise comes up. I knew that I had known him but couldn’t place where. After searching his first name on facebook with the logic of we must have mutual friends it became clear... I sat next to him in my college English class thirteen years ago.
He is almost unrecognisable. Not necessarily in a bad way he just looks very different.
Also I fancied him like mad back then. My friends used to take the piss out of me for it! I have to say though, while he probably looks better to most people now than he did then (he was a skinny weedy thing back then, just my type! He’s now all gym goer bulky) I preferred him back then...
Anyway he fancied my friend back then and not me, I know heartbreaking stuff. I’m nearly 100% sure he knew I liked him.
Curiosity got the better of me and I had to swipe right. Just to see and low and behold, it’s a match.
16 year old me would be jumping for joy!
Should I message him? I feel weird about it. I wouldn’t have swiped right if it was just a profile and I didn’t know him previously if that makes sense but I’m still curious.
