In and out of fog city

[2ndtimearoundCA]

I was almost completely dark for about a month before I started texting. W and I originally met online (MySpace) and we chatted for a while before we ever met. W had told me that she was attracted to my messaging. So I figured what the heck, it might work for me.

During my dark period I had to have some contact, but I was slow to respond, cold in my responses, and responded at strange times (3 in the morning). At one point w got upset with me for being unavailable.

So one day after being dark I sent "heard Tracy chapman on the radio, reminded me of your dad's famous song loops, please say hi to him the next time you see him"..

I got a response in less than a minute and we chatted and then I ended with "got to run to a meeting, catch you later"

Anyway as things got friendlier, with more texts I started sending texts about memories with specific wording patterns and she really seemed to buy in. Things progressed to memories about intimate moments, our wedding etc. in the end it got me a canceled trip to Vegas. But we did go from being cold to each other to being at least very friendly. And we're now dating once a month lol
