Online dating is like speed dating without the intimacy. A picture is the first time you’ll see me. A favorable swipe or a thumbs up to communicate likability. Messaging and chatting from sunup till sundown while waiting for numbers to be exchanged. But we remain strangers still until the first date. Praying that the other person is not deranged. Giving space for the sake of first impressions. Avoiding awkward conversations like cyber sexting. Eager to meet someone real but scared to learn difficult lessons. Looking toward the future to provide an unexpected blessing.

Love always, Esha <3
