We’re both 21 years old. We’re actually new in this relationship, and this is literally our third date. She just finished her diploma in interior design, whereas I’m studying for a bachelor’s degree in accounting.

I was replying to her stories casually, but she actually made the first move just a month ago.
[The girl, shyly talking]: I just straight up asked him out on a date.
Shy And Awkward (But We Love It)
[The boy talking]: I thought it was sweet how she gathered up the courage to make the first move. I know how shy and awkward she is. On the second date, she even asked us to be official.
And yeah, now we’re just on our third date.
She reminds me a bit of myself. We share a lot of the same interests, and when we started texting, I also realised how awkward she is, just like me.

She literally hid behind a pole, and I had to walk the whole way and kind of tap on her shoulders. (Girlfriend, embarrassed and laughing in the background: “Stop!”)

The girl adds, “I was so nervous because I had a crush on him for the longest time! So I was just nervous about seeing him, but it turns out he liked me back?!”
We play a lot of games together. So, she plays Genshin Impact while I play Valorant. When we played together, we would play Stardew Valley and other roleplaying games.
[The girl talking] To be honest, I was first attracted by his looks. But then, as I started talking to him more, I got to know that he’s actually a decent person. (Boyfriend in the background: “Decent only?!”)
Love Will Come Your Way
To the girls who are scared to make that first move, I mean, just go for it. What’s the worst that could happen? Honestly, 90% of the time, the guy would likely reciprocate anyway. If not, at least you’re not hung up on someone who can’t reciprocate how you feel.

For now, we are just hoping for a long-lasting relationship, that’s all we can say.
