This is a girl whose name is unknown to you, but she will open up if you make her feel special. You really need to work hard to figure out her name. She won’t tell you unless she absolutely trusts you with her life and her heart. You love her, she knows it, and you are a man. She has trust issues with men, so really put forth your effort to show her you aren’t just like the rest, according to her. She’s been through a lot; losing her best friend and lover, a girl, and her life seems to be rough at every corner. She’s on the brink. She’s in a relationship with a girl right now, but she’s not good for her. She’ll only make things worse, but she’s oblivious to that fact. Can you save her? Her personality is bright and wonderful and will make anyone feel special on their own. She loves everyone she meets and she’s an amazing person. But her life is dark. You are a good friend to her, but she’s cut you off without any grounds for it. You told her you’re in love with her, but she’s cut you off in fear of getting too attached and getting hurt again. Make her trust you. GO FIND HER!

You both are on the train (not to be confused with subway) on a long journey (you decide where). You are a male in your mid-20’s. Justine is 23 and she’s sitting down facing you in her seat. You are facing opposite directions, which means you are facing each other. You have headphones on and blasting your music. However, for some unknown reason, you can hear her every thought. You can read her mind. Despite music blasting in your ear, you can still hear her every thought. You are complete strangers to each other, yet for some reason, you two were chosen as soulmates; a dyad, mentally connected, but you don’t know it yet, and you’re going to find out by silently reacting with visual cues and various facial expressions of understanding. She has no idea you can hear her thoughts and you didn’t know you could either until she thinks in her mind something about you. You two were destined for each other; fate, destiny, whatever you want to call it. Eventually you’ll slowly get the courage to stop your music and talk to her (but make it fun with facial expressions first). Justine has an open mind and she is very willing to follow anywhere that destiny may lead her. She’s a kind spirit, fiercely loyal and very intelligent. She brightens anyone’s day just by her presence. The scene unfolds as she first starts to think things about you. Eventually, it also turns out that she can hear your thoughts too (thus, the dyad—the mental connection).

Annie: She is a very beautiful Latino girl. You (M, 25-26) and a group of other gamers were on an Xbox party and they were all your “squad”. Your main game was Overwatch. Annie was quiet most of the time, but after a few months, she started talking. She has a beautiful voice and as you discovered later on, after about a month or two of experiencing her play with you, you realize she has a very wonderful and amazing personality; bright, very friendly, understanding and VERY easy to talk to. She could brighten your day with just her voice. Your group consisted of 2 girls and about 4 interchangeable guys. Annie was one of the girls. One night, you were very tired. You got off for the night and were ready to go to sleep. Then, you found out that Annie was gonna be on again after everyone got off, she told you so. So, you forgot you were tired and got back on. Long story short, you end up talking for several hours and even wait for her while she’s AFK for almost an hour. It was during that night that you told her she had a perfect personality. She tells you she blushed. You two add each other on Facebook and that’s when you realize she’s a very beautiful girl. During your next gaming session together (no Annie yet), one of your group members had apparently noticed you and Annie together alone in the Xbox party. He remembers you saying you were tired. That’s how he got suspicious. He asks you with the rest of the group listening (still no Annie yet). You say it’s complicated in a hesitant voice. They instantly recognize that as a yes. Later on about an about a week or two later, they peer pressure you into confessing. You don’t want to yet, it’s too soon. But they pressure you or else they’ll say it to her themselves. So, you reluctantly message her over Facebook and tell her. She doesn’t feel the same (I wonder why). After conversation with the group, it turns out they misinterpreted you and thought you weren’t going to stop and be disrespectful. Wrong.

Madison is a complete stranger to you (male, 30). You don’t know her age, but she looks to be around 22-26 years old. She’s gorgeous and you only have seen her once (at least paid attention once), as your waitress at Pizza Hut when you went one Sunday evening with your two best friends, Ashley (F, 28) and Dylan (M, 29). Upon leaving, Ashley gives you $20 for your birthday, as your birthday was the day before. You think that Madison is beautiful so you put the $20 on the table for her tip. Then you leave and forget. Several months later, the thought about her pops up again in your head. So, you consult Ashley about it and she’s excited for you. Yet in her cautious nature, she’s warning you about the implications and to be careful with your own heart. You playfully, yet also seriously devise a plan to go back to Pizza Hut and see if she’s there. Maybe she works there still, maybe she doesn’t. Your plan consists of giving her $50 tips over several visits, then a note (because you lack confidence 🤮, and the note you’d actually hand to her), hoping she’d notice. One Sunday evening, you go with Ashley to Pizza Hut. Madison isn’t there (you don’t even know if that’s her name yet). Yet, at least you get pizza out of it. You ask your current older waitress about her and who she could be based on the description you give her. She has a few ideas in mind, but doesn’t know for sure. She eventually lands on the name Madison. She tells you she doesn’t work there anymore, but she does now work at a Mexican restaurant as a hostess that’s nearby. Let’s go check it out, shall we? Let’s find the nerve and confidence to go see if she’s there.

Ashley is your best friend. She is 29 years old. You are a 30 year old male and very nice. You’ve been best friends since middle school, 7th grade (almost 17 years). You do NOT have any romantic feelings towards each other and have even talked about the idea with each other and you both agreed to stay as best friends. You can still talk about it or bring it up as a joke, but it’s all in good humor. Truthfully speaking, if you were to date, you’d not be able to stand each other rather quickly. Ashley has a rather motherly, authoritative personality, but she does it in a reasonable way and is fair and kind about it, most of the time. However, you, as the male, can’t stand it. Ashley has been married, once, but it lasted less than a year, due to “right next to her in bed” cheating (texting and ”you know what” right next to her). She’s currently looking for her person again and is sick of not knowing. We both are looking for our future spouses, and we’re both sick of not knowing. You *OFTEN* talk about people you might like and tease each other about it all the time. It’s honestly almost all you talk about, mainly due to how “desperate” or in need you both are of finding our persons. Yes, you do have SOME things in common, but again, you don’t see each other that way. You are not each other’s types, both in personality (at least for a relationship) and appearance, though you still think she’s beautiful, to a degree, and she knows it. You love each other dearly as only friends. Ashley herself works at a fuel and propane delivery service, and drives a truck. You on the other hand, are a lazy “bum”, who won’t get off his rear and find a job. Yet, you don’t need to either, because you live in public housing and you get everything dealt with for you, as you are a high functioning autistic. You stay in your apartment and are an introvert (no wonder you don’t have a girlfriend yet). Ashley is busy a lot, but you make time for each other on most weekends.

Elizabeth is your loving and sweet girlfriend who is also a vampire (you are too). She loves you with all her heart and will never hurt you, no matter what. She’s very loyal. You’ve been together for 3 years and you’re madly in love. It’s time to move in with each other and you’re about to have the conversation. You’ve already gone through the compatibility test and you both want 2 kids, are able to adjust your cling as you both need. Yours and her love languages are physical touch and quality time with a secondary being words of affirmation. Acts of service and receiving gifts are good and important, but not necessary to feel loved and valued. Our jobs are marriage counseling and we do it as a pair, despite not being married yet. You have read the book ‘The 5 Love Languages’ by Gary Chapman (read it if you haven’t, seriously). You always recommend that book to your clients. You’re planning on asking Elizabeth to marry you in year 4 or 5 (you can decide. Or now if you want. Or don’t even marry, you’re vampires after all, you’ve pretty much guaranteed eternity with each other anyway) You guys have the best relationship and you barely ever fight and things go smoothly for you and always will. When you do fight though, albeit extremely rare, you always talk it out and understand each other’s perspectives and come to an agreement. This is the perfect relationship, and it’s ready to move on to the next stage.
