You literally couldn& #39;t write my life. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face">

I& #39;ll try and keep this as brief as I can... On Sunday, I spot an insta post from an old friend of mine (an almost old flame from 13 years ago but never quite got there and have been friends ever since)... 1/4
That had me worried about his mental state. I dropped him a quick message to check in and tell him if he wanted to chat, that I was here for him. Fast forward to today, we& #39;ve been messaging back and forth none stop for the last 6 days... 2/4
We& #39;ve arranged a coffee date (now he& #39;s 7 months sober), a pub quiz date (the irony isn& #39;t lost on me) and a movie date for when all this coronavirus business has moved on and we can go back to socialising again... 3/4
My mind is blown https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Exploding head" aria-label="Emoji: Exploding head"> I have the worst luck in relationships. I haven& #39;t dated in nearly 2 years. We& #39;re in the middle of a sodding pandemic, we& #39;re on lockdown, and here I am making plans to go on dates when this is all over. Who even am I?! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face">
Can& #39;t say I& #39;m not smug mind https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😏" title="Smirking face" aria-label="Emoji: Smirking face"> 4/4
Oh gosh... Now tea (dinner) and a movie date have been added too. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤭" title="Face with hand over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with hand over mouth">

At this point, even if none of this happened, I& #39;ll come out of this happy that he kept me distracted and with a smile on my face through this shit. Hope it does happen though https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤭" title="Face with hand over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with hand over mouth">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤞🏼" title="Crossed fingers (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Crossed fingers (medium light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">
Would you guys like me to keep you updated on this thing? Cause I have more to share and I don& #39;t wanna bore ya& #39;ll but I& #39;ve no doubt there& #39;s more to come. And I& #39;m happ and I thought it& #39;d be a bit of a Ray of sunshine in these dark times. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Grinning face with smiling eyes">
Okay, little update...
We were discussing the Marvel Universe and that we both wanna watch the whole lot. So, I have a list of the movies in chronological order and I sent it over to him so he knows the order... In a passing comment I said "I bet you don& #39;t make it to the end"...
... His reply
"let& #39;s make this a real bet, I don& #39;t make it to the end, I& #39;ll leave you be, I make it to the end, I take you out for dinner when lockdowns over" so now I& #39;m clearly cheering him on from the sidelines https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📣" title="Cheering megaphone" aria-label="Emoji: Cheering megaphone">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> he& #39;s 3 films down, 20 to go...
ALSO, if you didn& #39;t know (he does) I don& #39;t take compliments very well. (he didn& #39;t know this bit but it& #39;s cause I don& #39;t think too highly of myself and I never believe them) (this is not a cry for help, just telling the story ya& #39;ll wanted https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">)...
We& #39;re talking about the old days & stuff, and he just sent me the sweetest fucking message, bigging me up, going on about how I& #39;m the kindest person in the world and he& #39;s so so glad I messaged him last week and he can& #39;t wait for lockdown to be over (but more deep and heartfelt)..
AND I JUST CRIED MY EYES OUT!
Boys got me crying! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face"> My heart cannot take it team! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts"> I wanna give him a hug. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">

Happy Sunday angels https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart"> I hope you& #39;re all safe. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles">
Okay, it& #39;s been a minute, quick update. Things are going stupidly well. He& #39;s told his mum about me (she& #39;s been in isolation for several weeks cause she& #39;s been showing mild Covid-19 symptoms, she& #39;s absolutely fine now) but she called round to see him yesterday (through the window)
And he& #39;s told her all about me.

Also, I& #39;ve spent today finishing @AuthorAbbyJim new book The Happy Ever After Playlist, he wanted to know what I was reading, so I told him. I& #39;ve literally spent the last 5 hours giving him a play by play of the story...
He absolutely loved it. Loved the story. Loved the characters, loved discussing it with me. He& #39;s literally a dream right?!
Abby, it& #39;s 5 stars from me, as well as 5 stars from him https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Grinning face with smiling eyes">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌟" title="Glowing star" aria-label="Emoji: Glowing star">

So yeah, that& #39;s my little isolation dating update. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart"> Hope you& #39;re all okay https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">
I& #39;m back with another isolation dating update!!

So we& #39;ve been discussing books and movies and I was working up the courage to say I& #39;ll drop some off for him (through the window obvs)

Well... He beat me to it!...
He& #39;s been stuck at home on his lonesome without going outside for 4 weeks. This week he& #39;d had enough, he went to see his mum (through the window) on Wednesday and this morning he went to see his dad.

Guess who he& #39;s seeing this afternoon?...
FUCKING ME!
He& #39;s been going on about wanting to see me, even if it& #39;s down the garden path or through the window, so he& #39;s gonna come and pick the books and dvds up that I was planning on lending him, and I& #39;ve cleared the garden up a bit and got him a chair out...
So that he can sit at the end of my garden (it& #39;s a smol garden) and I can sit in my kitchen and we can have a catch up. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙊" title="Speak-no-evil monkey" aria-label="Emoji: Speak-no-evil monkey">I& #39;m so excited and also very nervous. Last few times we& #39;ve seen each other, both or one of us have been mortal so yeah...
Sober social distancing garden date will commence in approximately half an hour. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙊" title="Speak-no-evil monkey" aria-label="Emoji: Speak-no-evil monkey">

Note: were obvs taking measure to social distance, he won& #39;t come in the house or near me. And the books and dvds he& #39;s picking up are essential for his MH, he lits has nothing else to do https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">
HE& #39;S ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!! I& #39;M FREAKING OUT!!!! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙈" title="See-no-evil monkey" aria-label="Emoji: See-no-evil monkey">
