Hi!

Welcome to Nethra and Preetam's Journey Together :)


Made with love by Preetam

First

Contact

On May 19th, 2023, I randomly decided to DM one of my matches on Dil Mil (an Indian dating app 🤓). I chose the prettiest girl I saw, and of course it was her!

The First Date!

On June 15th, 2023, we had our "first date" (on Robox LOL). We had been FaceTiming for a few days and we just decided to hop on Roblox and mess around. We even pretended like it was a date 😭, and we had a lotta fun.

The First

~Real~ Date!

On June 30th, we met for the first time in real life! I flew all the way to Chicago to meet her, and we spent the first day checking out her school and the rest of Chicago. It was a completely surreal and unforgettable experience.

Collapsed

Lung

😀

The next day, July 1st, we were in the city again and we decided to check out the Willis Tower. We went to the top of it, and we came back down to enjoy Cheesecake Factory. A pain had been developing in the left side of my chest, and by the time we sat down to eat, it had grown unbearable. I told her I needed to go to the hopsital, and we elected to walk to the nearest one, a childrens hopsital. There, we found out I had a minor collapsed lung, or pneumothorax.

It's Official ‼️

Thankfully, it didn't turn out to be too bad and I was discharged that night. On July 2nd, we went to the mall and had a great time, especially at a Lego store and Nike store. Afterwards, we went to a nearby park, and that's where we decided to make it offical! It was such an unbelievable moment, and it took me months to sink in that a girl like her was my girlfriend.

The Journey

Back

I had to leave July 3rd 🥲. I wasn't able to fly because of the pneumothorax, so I decided to take a Greyhound bus back to Georgia. The passenger next to me ended up just laying down next to me in the seat 😭🙏🏾. The bus ended up breaking down in Indiana for 3 hours and we missed our connecting bus in Louisville, so they just dumped us off there at 2 AM. Thankfully there were family friends that I stayed with until my parents came to pick me up.

South Carolina

On July 21st, Nethra's family happened to be visiting a school for her brother in South Carolina, and I drove over to meet them! There was flash flooding at night on the way back, and I was forced to drive back before the flooding got worse. Fortunately, they happened to have an extra room and I was able to stay the night in the hotel with them!

Matching

Jordans 😋

On August 6th, I returned to Chicago but this time for 2 whole weeks! We decided beforehand to get matching Jordans, and we opened them when I got there! They have been my favorite shoes since.

Tao Chicago

On August 8th, we went to Tao Chicago. It was the first truly fancy restaurant I had been to in my life, and I got to pay for it with the money I made from my internship! The food was some of the best I have had in my life, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

"Cigarettes

After Sex"

Concert

On September 1st, I was back in Chicago for the weekend and we went to a Cigarettes After Sex concert. Personally, I like maybe 2 of their songs and Nethra's a big fan but they took so long to come out and they kinda put both of us to sleep ngl 🫡.
