I'm almost positive this was our first interaction with each other, I then got the courage to DM them 1 month later, and then a little over a year later ended up liking them and then now we are together ahah
My advice is to let life take it's course
I see these kinds of posts all the time. A relationship is not something you will into existence. It's something that just happens. You meet someone, a passing trivial interaction at first. At some point contacts are exchanged.
