Talked to this one girl, a few years younger than me online back in 2008 for about half a year. Never met her, we don't even live that far apart. I kept putting off meeting irl because I was seeing someone on and off at the time and I felt like it wouldn't be fair to either of them. One day, as I left home to go to my friends house to hang out, I met some of her classmates on the way, we talked a bit and I went on my way. Talked to her later that night and she asked me why she didn't talk to me today. I was so confused, apparently, she was in the group and I was so caught up on trying to make a good impression on the other girls that I completely missed her. I know she was mad but she hid it well. We kept talking like normal but she started to grow distant. Fast-forward 4 months, she finished high-school and moved to another town for college, and I had to move to a suburb to cut down on living costs, etc. We said our goodbyes before she left, online. Told me that she had to get a new number as the one she's using won't work where she was moving. Never got to talk to her again after that, I moved on, forgot about her, met someone I really loved and who loved me just as much. In the summer of 2013, I got a text message from her. She asked if I'd wanna hang out, she had moved back to her parents after college and she had some free time. I asked my SO if it was cool, she was okay with it since they know each other before. 5 Years later, after I completely ignored this girl, I get to meet her. She was the sweetest, nicest, down-to-earth girl I've ever met. We hung out for the whole afternoon, she told me that she's met someone too, we both congratulated each other, and that stuff. At the end of the day, before she got in the cab, I asked her about 2008 and if she had feelings for me back then, she just smiled and hugged me for a few seconds and left. I just stood there for about, i don't know, 10 minutes, but it felt like hours. I went home and told my SO about what happened, she knew we used to talk so she wasn't angry or anything, but asked if I had feelings for her then, I said yes. Then, she asked if I had feelings for her now, I told her no. Why should I? that was a high-school (College for me) online romance that deep down I know would never work, and I think she knew that too. I'm just happy she's happy and I'm sure she's happy for me too. We never talked again after that day.

English isn't my first language and I'm not that good at writing stories, for that, I apologize. .
