I was part of a gaming community for a while and had been hurt by a lot of people pretending to be my friend but only wanting one thing. AJ joined the community and I thought he was going to be the same type of person and I avoided him in game and out. However, after my character(s) accidentally getting AJ's character killed, I saw something different. After a little bit, we started to interact more in the game and it reinforced the belief that he was different for some reason. I was intrigued. I took a chance and reached out to AJ outside the game (but still online) and we became friends that led into more. We took a chance after a couple of months talking everyday and meet in person. The rest is history.
I first meet Deanna thru a video game we both use to play. She had a unique voice that intrigued me but never wanted to act upon my curiosity. After interacting briefly here and there for a while our in game characters got sorta close which lead to use starting to talk outside of the game world. one thing lead to another and a few months later we were dating, which lead me to visiting her and eventually moving to be closer to her, and now here we are living out our best lives and going on this grand adventure with mini side quests along the way.
