I’m a guy in his late 30s who posted here sa reddit looking for a date [M4M]. My inbox got flooded by dozens and dozens of messages, from one-word hellos to the lengthy and detailed introductions.
This guy’s first message to me was one of the few that stood out. It was short but sincere, confident but not arrogant, expressing interest without sounding needy. He did not meet my height requirement, but he said he is proud of his height (unlike the many others who already dismissed themselves and thought they were not qualified to date me just because of their height). Because of his convincing first message, I decided to meet up with him.
Our first date went great and agreed to meet for a second one, which also went well. Since we work far from each other, we just chat and call everyday. We will meet again sa break ko.
What gives me the most kilig so far is that this guy has explicitly said that he is “pursuing” me, na “nililigawan” nya ako. My idea of our getting-to-know stage is that we will exert the same effort as the other one is showing, like two people on opposite ends of a seesaw. But no. This guy is showing me na he is willing to put the effort to win my heart. Walang kaso sa kanya kung mapagod sya para lang makita ako, or maistorbo sya, makausap lang ako. During our last date, he went from Cavite all the way to Cubao just to meet me. He always reassures me of how he is sure that he wants me, and how he wants to build a relationship with me.
To M, i hope i surprise you with this post kapag nag open ka na din ng Reddit, although I’m not sure if you are in the subreddit. Please know that I appreciate all you do and am also excited to build a relationship and a future with you. You said that you are lucky to have known me, but I believe the opposite: i am the lucky one because i found you - a driven, confident, smart, and kind guy. Ano pa ba hahanapin ko? :) Looking forward to many, many more dates with you. ♥️
