We first met back in 2016 in St. Louis. A very close friend of ours named Julie got a group together to go to the City Museum (we was DEEP lol) which is a highly physical indoor and outdoor playground. After going down a few huge slides, we sat a while and that is when Orlando came over with a friend and introduced himself. Being that it was such a large group, I could barely remember who I was meeting. Yet,I remembered Orlando (lol). I thought he was super cute. I kept it to myself because I didn't want to prematurely call him cute. I hadn't seen him again until February 2017 at a wedding. Fast forward to March 2017, I returned to STL to surprise Julie and he happened to be there at Brittny's place! Later in the night, everyone decided that this was an ideal time to get to know Orlando, since he had recently became their friend. I took this as an opportunity to be more outgoing where I usually wouldn't be. After asking him a few things about himself, we bonded over sharing a favorite junk food combination... Doritos and Snickers.
June 2018 was dance recital time. Along with the girls from STL, was the guys and to get my guys to come and help I wanted to double check and see if they were really coming to help. I really didn't need to because I knew they would come through! Among the guys who came, was Orlando. He had texted the wrong number before texting me, and showed me the messages after he got the right number. It was pretty funny.Three weeks after the recital I decided to text him. Sadly, it went no where (y'all I was sad lol). Fast forward to February 2019... I decided to revisit my feelings for him, and tell him how I really feel. He felt the same.
