I was working as an Au Pair in London (I’m from Sweden). I have had boyfriend after boyfriend since I was 13, so since I broke up with my last boyfriend (about 3 years ago) I’ve haven’t been wasting any energy on guys, just had some random dates but nothing serious. But when in London a girlfriend of mine told my about tinder, so I got an account. I swiped right on a guy who was blonde (not my type) but he seemed sweet. We chatted for a bit and met up the day after Valentines day to eat brunch. When he was walking towards me, at first I just thought “well, he’s so not my type, he’s just a tiny tiny bit taller than me, we can just be friends”. But then he said “hi” and I was hooked. I haven’t had feelings for anyone of my previous boyfriends, it was always a crush, and then I had such a hard time breaking up with them so I waited around for about 6 months or a year before finding the courage to do it. But this guy hit me like a ton of bricks. He was so great. Our first date lasted 12 hours because we didn’t want to leave each other. We started seeing each other and we both felt that this was different. I got to see his little brother, his best friend and his cousin (from America, she’s more like his sister) on our third date. They liked me, I liked them. Everything was perfect. But then the little things started happening. He smoked a lot of weed (weed is a lot more tabu in Sweden than in the US or UK, so I wasn’t that used to it back then) and he never had money.
