During lockdown in 2020. I was playing a lot of online D&D. Important, the games were all done over voice and text, no webcams. One day I notice one of the players in the game is laughing a lot at my jokes, like a lot. And commenting on my posts. And finding reasons to PM me questions about the game.
Eventually we get to talking, at this stage I'm an unemployed 31 year old fat neckbeard, and she's a beautiful, perfectly put together 25 year old blonde professional. Way, way, way out of my league.
We hit it off really, really well. We talked and texted all day, every day for weeks. She was the last voice I heard before going to sleep and the first voice I heard waking up. Finally, she comes over for dinner, we meet in person for the first time... and I think the moment she walked in, she realized that she had made a mistake. It was almost instantaneous, like she saw me and went "uh oh". She was nice enough, a bit reserved, and after that night she slowly started to drift away. But for those brief few weeks, I was the luckiest man in the world.
