You literally couldn't write my life.

I'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've been messaging back and forth none stop for the last 6 days... 2/4

We've arranged a coffee date (now he's 7 months sober), a pub quiz date (the irony isn'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

I have the worst luck in relationships. I haven't dated in nearly 2 years. We're in the middle of a sodding pandemic, we're on lockdown, and here I am making plans to go on dates when this is all over. Who even am I?!

Can't say I'm not smug mind

4/4

Oh gosh... Now tea (dinner) and a movie date have been added too.

At this point, even if none of this happened, I'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

Would you guys like me to keep you updated on this thing? Cause I have more to share and I don't wanna bore ya'll but I've no doubt there's more to come. And I'm happ and I thought it'd be a bit of a Ray of sunshine in these dark times.

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't make it to the end"...

... His reply
"let's make this a real bet, I don't make it to the end, I'll leave you be, I make it to the end, I take you out for dinner when lockdowns over" so now I'm clearly cheering him on from the sidelines

he's 3 films down, 20 to go...

ALSO, if you didn't know (he does) I don't take compliments very well. (he didn't know this bit but it's cause I don't think too highly of myself and I never believe them) (this is not a cry for help, just telling the story ya'll wanted

)...

We're talking about the old days & stuff, and he just sent me the sweetest fucking message, bigging me up, going on about how I'm the kindest person in the world and he's so so glad I messaged him last week and he can't wait for lockdown to be over (but more deep and heartfelt)..

AND I JUST CRIED MY EYES OUT!
Boys got me crying!

My heart cannot take it team!

I wanna give him a hug.

Happy Sunday angels

I hope you're all safe.

Okay, it's been a minute, quick update. Things are going stupidly well. He's told his mum about me (she's been in isolation for several weeks cause she's been showing mild Covid-19 symptoms, she's absolutely fine now) but she called round to see him yesterday (through the window)

And he's told her all about me.

Also, I'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'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's literally a dream right?!
Abby, it's 5 stars from me, as well as 5 stars from him

So yeah, that's my little isolation dating update.

Hope you're all okay

I'm back with another isolation dating update!!

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

Well... He beat me to it!...

He's been stuck at home on his lonesome without going outside for 4 weeks. This week he'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's seeing this afternoon?...

FUCKING ME!
He's been going on about wanting to see me, even if it's down the garden path or through the window, so he's gonna come and pick the books and dvds up that I was planning on lending him, and I'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's a smol garden) and I can sit in my kitchen and we can have a catch up.

I'm so excited and also very nervous. Last few times we'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.

Note: were obvs taking measure to social distance, he won't come in the house or near me. And the books and dvds he's picking up are essential for his MH, he lits has nothing else to do

HE'S ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!! I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!

TEAM, HE GOT ME FLOWERS AND WINE

I just.... I can't even, it was so hard saying goodbye

I'm a very happy Stephy though.

Also, you lovely lot are adorable for being invested in this

Okay team, it's been a minute.

He's coming round again today for another social distancing garden date.

I'm so excited.

Three hours and counting
