All my life, I've dreamed of falling in love. I was bullied and abused at home, and I wanted a prince to come save me. I remember being a little girl crying after getting picked on for being quiet at school, and then yelled at home, and I'd curl into a ball in my room and sing "some day, my prince will come", over and over again. I know it seems like a silly fantasy, but without it, I likely would've ended my life a long time ago.

Two years ago, I met the man of my dreams. He was everything I could've ever wanted. He was handsome, smart, kind. He genuinely seemed interested in me. I've never had such a strong connection like that with anyone before. We hung out for three days, and we both caught feelings for each other. He told mutual friends in secret that he liked me. I was never supposed to find out, but I did. I went up to him and asked him of his feelings. He denied them, and told me he had a girlfriend. I should've believed him, but I didn't. I just thought he panicked and made up the fact that he had a girlfriend because he didn't want to admit he liked me.

I requested him on Instagram; partially because I wanted to follow him, and because I wanted to see if he was single or not. He rejected the request after two weeks. I knew then that he had a girlfriend, because why wouldn't he say yes? I was so angry in the moment that I blocked him. I thought it was unfair that he let me believe that he was interested when he clearly wasn't. He actually was really sad that I blocked him. I unblocked him after a couple of days, and only a month later, he and his girlfriend broke up. It's been two years, and I see him look at my social media platforms everyday. All of them. Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc.

I know he still likes me. It's obvious from the stuff he does. But I don't care. He forced me to pay the consequences for his actions. Does he know how painful that was? I thought finally, someone accepted me for me. But he renounced me. I don't know if I could ever get back with him. However, his father is available. Also, his father has money. And he seems like a kind man. I'd be willing to get with his father.
