our first date

Lu Pike

Me and my boyfriend (both trans ftm) met while i was visiting my family in france. my grandma drove me and my sister to the bar 30 minutes away and i texted him off tinder to meet us and we instantly hit it off instantly after spending 3 days with clem, i realized this was the first time i truly deeply loved someone. everything fit perfectly and we spent the nights staying up all night talking, trying to fill the week we had together. and i knew id regret it if i left the country (7 days from then) without telling him how i felt. i knew i wanted to do it in french, so maybe 4 days into meeting i said “it’s crazy.. but i think i love you” and he said it back :) we decided to do long distance though both of us never EVER saw us doing that. but we are 9 months in and it’s still the most wonderful and beautiful decision i’ve ever made. he is my soulmate. i’ve never had someone who grew up so differently from me, completely understand everything i feel. we grew up reading the same books and the odd little connections we have from two different continents is crazy:) i love our love, and i plan to move to close the distance in the next year.
