Hey everyone,
I’m Lali and I realize this is a long shot. I happened to see a cute missed connection here today that reminded me of my own that I still think about two years later.
It was July 29th, 2024. Looking back I am so glad I made a post on insta earlier that day taking a picture of my fit. Otherwise I would have no idea what day it was. I had just started transitioning (mtf) that summer and my friends had invited me to go out to WildRose with them.
We get there order some drinks and while carrying our drinks to the back table area that’s when we first ran into each other. Just a little exchange apologizing and smiling as we passed each other. After our first round of drinks I go out to the dance floor and this time you see me and compliment me on my fit. I am blushing and compliment you right back, we talk a little and then continue dancing in the sea of fems.
My friends and I order another drink, I finish it and I hit the dance floor again. While dancing we see each other, both have cute big smiles, and this time I head over to you. I can’t remember everything said but we’re talking a lot right off the bat, so I ask you to dance and you say yes, and then immediately pull me in by my hips (sapphic euphoria starts happening, along with some fresh lesbian panic). While dancing we keep talking and we’re loving it. At a certain point it feels like we’re wanting to talk about things more deeply so I ask if you want to grab a drink and sit and talk. Your eyes lit up, you said “yes!”, you then grabbed my hand and then ran from the dance floor, pulling me behind you until we got in line at the bar. When I am about to pay for my drink you sneak in and pay for mine as well. We sit down, talk, laugh, smile, and hold hands until the bar tender had to tell us that WildRose was closed and that we would have to leave (it was past 2 am).
You shared a lot with me that night, and we did exchange numbers, but when I followed up the next day it seemed like you were still going through a lot of healing/processing with some heavy stuff. So much so that you couldn’t handle have a new friend or connection in your life. I was honestly really sad about that. I deleted your number from my phone because I wanted to respect that and I knew would be tempted to text you.
Anyway, some random things I remember you were with your friend who had long brown curly or wavy hair, I believe your name was Hannah, you were photographing a friend’s wedding in the coming weeks and we had talked about having a picnic date. You were so sweet and set the bar really high, haha. Honestly though, when I go out, flirt and date, if it’s not like the energy you showed me can exist, I don’t want it.
I’m going to add a pic of my fit that night and some recent pics of me too cause fuck it, maybe you do see this.
Anyway, thanks Reddit/Seattle for letting me be a helpless sapphic romantic.
