We Found Love On The BuzzFeed App
Some people fall in love in a coffee shop, or when you drop your pencil in the middle of class and the hottie next you picks it up - then the rest is history. I always thought when I fell in love I'd be on the beach soaking up some vitamin D when out of the blue, Fabio would emerge out of the ocean like a majestic dolphin... He'd seductively push his hair back and walk up to me, then whisper softly, "more oil"? Yeah, obviously, it didn't happen like that. A girl can dream though.
My story went more like this... John, (not his real name), embodied your typical college pretty boy. With his sharp blue eyes, nauseating Bradley Cooper hair, and a smile that made you think God himself was smiling at you. For those exact reasons I put a huge X over him. I was saving myself from the whole "I actually have 6 other girlfriends" conversation 5 months down the road. So, I gave John minimal attention and you'd think the less attention I gave, the less attention I'd receive... yeah, no. My tactic completely backfired on me-- so I thought, "what the hell, this very attractive, Calvin Klein model-looking boy is giving me a lot of attention... lets see what happens". It was the best decision I had ever made. It was a warm, May night, he invited me over and we bonded over Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Family Guy that played on mute. It was the moment he sat beside me and said, "wanna take BuzzFeed quizzes?" My brain went haywire and I was internally screaming, "THIS IS MY 'MORE OIL?' MOMENT!" I had found my modern-day Fabio. We laid there for hours laughing over what kind of bread we are based off our zodiac sign, or whether he saw a zebra and I saw a butterfly in blobs of paint. He even let me retake personality quizzes until I got exactly what I wanted. If that isn't romance, I don't know what is!
I finally came to my senses and accepted the fact he didn't have 6 other girlfriends and he wasn't your stereotypical college boy. He was an abnormally attractive, normal guy, who loved BuzzFeed quizzes and Ben & Jerry's just as much as me. And I'd take my love story over any Fabio beach love story. Thanks BuzzFeed for terminating my undying fear that'd I'd be forever alone! Even though I think one of your quizzes told me that...
