Marked this as a happy story, because it is one in my view.
Started pretty randomly from a post I made on the dirtyr4r subreddit a few years back.
I got a message from this girl, who was 18 and it was the usual thing l of what that subreddit is generally for and that was it.
Then the next day, I decided (probably because there was some odd chemistry) to send a message with a "hi" and ask her how she was doing. Long story short - we started sharing a lot with each other and it really felt good, plus we had this awesome sexual dynamic going on too. And in the relationship I was in most ways in a mentor role, which felt incredibly rewarding.
We both lived in Europe, so as she moved out of her folks place and started uni - I came to visit her every month and we both had an amazing time together. This lasted for about a year and eventually we started having talks about moving things to the next level stuff along those lines. P.s. I am a single parent and I run my own business project, so I have to be mindful of my time away and I can't be available 24/7 and come over whenever. Anyway, after that point our relationship hasn't been the same and we both decided to actually finish it on a good and positive note. π€·
