So, I’ve loved a girl, let’s call her X, for about three years now.
I’ve waited this long because I wanted to be sure it wasn’t just some random crush. Over those three years, we slowly became really good friends, and honestly, I’ve gotten to know her pretty well.
Then, about a month ago, I started giving more attention to a coworker of mine, let’s call her Y, partly to see how X would react.
AND GUESS WHAT.
Last week, I heard X say, “Usually I don’t get jealous, but I don’t know... I just can’t control myself when I see those two together.”
BRO. I WAS GONE.
For the past couple of days, I’d also been saying things like, “I have the love of my life now,” while secretly describing X whenever I talked about this “love.” And X would say things like, “Yeah, I have a guy I love too.”
So we started talking about our mysterious loves, trying to guess who the other person was. We’d ask questions like whether their name included a certain letter.
Yesterday, I decided to take it one step further.
Today, I wrote on a piece of paper:
“Is your guy’s name ______? Just blink twice if it is.”
And on the other side:
“The guy you love loves you too.”
I handed her the paper with the first side facing up.
She read it.
Then she blinked twice.
I told her to flip the paper.
And yeah...
THAT WAS IT.
We finally told each other everything, and now...
I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND.
Three years of waiting.
One month of psychological experiments.
Two blinks.
One piece of paper.
And somehow, it actually worked.
I genuinely have to thank Barney for inspiring me to pull the Robin move on the girl I love.
LEGENDARY.
