"Did you actually want me to help you find a significant other, or was that a joke?"
I told them it was a joke.
"I can see your status b***h, I will help if you want," Riley half-jokingly spoke.
We called each other b***h as a funny joke; it was funny to both of us. Reading our text conversation history again, the majority of it seemed to be so memeable??
I met Riley a few months before we dated. For some reason, in late August, I couldn't sleep at all at night because my head was too busy thinking about nothing but Riley. That same morning, I ended up confessing that I had feelings for them.
"Are we dating? or no"
"I don't know?"
"lol. hmmmm hm hm hm."
"am I allowed to u call u my S.O. or something?"
"you can call me basically anything so yeah."
"anything...?"
The first week of us dating seemed typical for a new couple: we just flirted and spent a lot of time together. They got worried that I was going to break up with them in the first week, though.

They introduced me to this game called 'Butterfly Soup' and it was a game on how all 4 girls are sapphics. It was a pretty chill and funny indie game. A character's dialogue was literally 'I, uh farted' which was pretty peak for a 2020 game. Even the game's trailer was very relatable, full of memes and gay.
"Oh my god, it's the titanic song"
"but the flute"
"You're here"
I was confused at what Riley was saying.
"There's NOOOOOthing to fear," they texted next.
"wut?"
They asked if I never heard the song and I replied that it sounded familiar but I forgot. I was soon sent the YouTube video "Titanic - My Heart Will Go On (Music Video)".

"Do I still make you happy?"
"???????????????????? do i not make you feel loved? yes, you do"
"okay"
[Universal Anxiety Disorganization is extremely triggered]
I was conversing with them like usual on what occurred in high school and I suppose my anxiety was getting worsen as time went on.
"Do I still romantically interest you?"
"Idk if [Purple Social Media] is just being weird and showing u as online when ur actually not."
"Can you please talk to me or are you ignoring me on purpose?"
These were all messages that I urgently sent to Riley in attempts to calm my own anxiety down. Riley did end up looking at the messages and replying back 30 minutes later.
"what the fuck"
"sorry"
They explained how their computer had [Purple Social Media] on and they were on their phone hence they couldn't see the notifications until later on. The computer would eat up the notifications which would explain why they couldn't see the messages immediately.
"I'm not sure, honestly" was their answer if I was romantically interesting to them.
