OUR CALLER, MANUEL VANDEGAR
Hi, sweetheart. I’m Manuel Vandegar, but feel free to call me anything that feels closest to your heart: Manuel, El, Nu, Van, or even something special you made just for me. I’d be genuinely happy if you had a little petname for me, asal bukan yang berkonotasi negatif ya, karena candaan boleh, but still I believe that nama is like a pray. Kalau datengnya dari kamu, I know it’ll carry warmth. I’m always open to becoming that version of me that only exists in your little world.
Before we ever meet in real time, I think it’s nice for you to know a little about the soul behind the screen. I’m a classic INTP-T: Yes, agree! I'm technically introverted, pretty reserved at first glance but when I feel safe around someone, the talkative side comes out effortlessly. I can turn a simple convo into a multi-bubble stream of thoughts, jokes or even random facts no one asked for. If I’m comfortable with you, don’t be surprised if your phone lights up with 5++ chat bubbles, because I don’t like holding back when the conversation feels alive. Kadang aku suka ngomong ngalor-ngidul, out of nowhere, and honestly, I’m totally okay with weird topics. Asbun? Yes. Tapi dari situ justru muncul hal-hal yang unexpectedly fun. But beyond all the chatter, I know how to be still. I can be a good listener, especially when you're tired or just need to be held emotionally. I’d love to be that person who makes you feel safe, heard, and understood.
Satu hal yang paling mau aku kasih ke orang yang aku sayang adalah perasaan bahwa “semua aku dirayakan”. I live by that. I want you to feel seen in all your forms; the loud days, the quiet moods, the messy thoughts, the excited rambles. My love language is word of affirmation, jadi jangan kaget kalau kamu sering dapat sweet words atau ucapan “I’m proud of you” everyday. I also value quality time, karena waktu bareng itu bukan tentang durasinya, tapi tentang niatnya. Aku seneng kalau bisa ngelakuin hal-hal kecil bareng: ngobrol, saling pamer, bahkan diem-dieman tapi tetap terkoneksi. FYI, before I do anything, aku bakal ngabarin dulu. It’s not about control, it’s about care. I believe good communication starts from small, intentional acts. Karena kalau sama-sama mau jaga, semua bisa terasa ringan. And in the end, what I’m looking for is simple—someone who wants to build “us” together, not perfectly, but consistently.
