Encounter at the Village Festival
A group of friends, all 15 years old, decide to explore the nearby village's festival. They wander around, intrigued and bored, until they meet a group of girls their age in an unfamiliar place. One of the boys attempts to connect with them, which surprisingly goes well leading to exchanges of contact information.
Social Media Investigations
After the festival, one boy becomes curious about a girl missing from their encounter. He explores her Instagram, follows her, and starts a conversation, feeling a mutual attraction. This marked the beginning of their online interaction without any prior face-to-face encounter.
Summer Conversations
As summer passes, the boy keeps communicating with the girl online, finding that they both have feelings for each other but are too nervous to express it openly. Their connection grows stronger, but the boy worries about their impending separation when summer ends.
A Shift of Focus
With the end of summer and the thought of distance looming, he decides to distance himself from her to avoid potential heartbreak. Instead, he shifts his focus to speaking with other girls and improving himself, which leads him to a realization about the nature of his interactions with girls.
Finding New Approaches to Dating
After reflecting on his previous interactions, the boy learns to recognize when girls are receptive to him. He begins inviting them to meet in person sooner rather than prolonging online chat, which significantly improves his dating experiences.
