 Three days ago, I matched a girl on Tinder. We started chatting and set up a date for the next Friday. I never felt such a connection with someone. And this is not just infatuation talking. I honestly believe we have quite a few common interests, for instance, we both write poetry when we are depressed, and we actually shared some poems with each other... I really want her to be happy, with me or without me.

At the same time, she had BPD and I have ADHD. Which is not a great combination. I am scared. But I want to believe that it can work. I really want to think that as long we remain honest with each other and understand that each of us is affected by these things, we can get through it.

It's risky, but it's a risk I want to take, and I make no illusions that it will be easy.
