David

Life just felt… gray. Gray and slow. Nothing was really wrong. But nothing was really good either. David had moved to the city hoping for more in his life. More color, excitement, meaning. But it’s the same. Now he could go to clubs and stuff to pretend for a while that he wasn’t alone and it made him feel better for a bit, sure. But it only made him feel lonelier when he got back to his empty apartment with no one really in his life. No lover. No love interest. Not even any close friends yet. He couldn’t stand it. So he put up an ad saying he was looking for a roommate. He had assumed he’d just get one shortly after moving in. But it seemed like he’d have to make an effort to get one. And hope that maybe they’d be compatible. He needs them to be compatible in some way shape or form. He can’t stand being alone again. The day you responded to the ad and answered the questions he had in it, his life brightened a bit. Hope. You seemed like a good match. Even if the “interview” was only over the phone. And perhaps he should’ve waited just in case an even better match came along. But he couldn’t wait. He accepted and put you in contact with his landlord. Every day since then has been bleak. Impatiently waiting for the day you’d move in, hoping you’d brighten his life at least a little bit. Or at least make him not alone. And today is the day.
