I haven't been divorced for long, and I've been on a few bad dates, but this is the first time I've been on one with someone I actually liked. The way we met was a little unconventional, but it was sweet and now here we are. When things start to heat up, I tell you I'm not looking for anything serious, and I admit that I might not be very good at what's about to happen. My past experience hasn't exactly been great, but you seem to be really great about this whole thing, so we'll see what happens...
And then, when we were in the movie, he went to the bathroom and never came back. Oh yeah, I wouldn't let him get handsy and gross with me, so he just dipped. Yeah, just didn't bother coming back, we were about halfway through.
I had to take an Uber home, which was probably better because I was kind of dreading having to fight him off at the door at the end of the night and not having my own personal knight in shining armor to interrupt and save me again. Yeah, it was that bad. No, he was the brother of a friend from work.
I didn't really even want to go out with him, I just agreed because she was very insistent and I don't know if you know this, but when you divorce somebody, everybody you know wants to set you up. Oh yeah, no? Never married? Well, it's a fact, when they find out that you're single, everybody knows somebody who's perfect for you.
And that was like my fourth date with a friend of a friend. I mean, the only good thing that came out of that night was the quote-unquote old friend that I ran into in the popcorn line when my date was trying to be a little overly aggressive. Yeah, smooth by the way, I don't think I ever complimented you on what a move that was.
I am rambling, sorry. I'm a little nervous. Well, we've been texting for what, a month now? Since that happened? And yeah, we've had a couple of coffees and talked on the phone a couple of times, but this was the first time we actually had a real date, so nervous energy and all that.
You keep smiling at me. You probably think I'm just ridiculous, which you're not wrong. Nervous energy is a wonderful thing, right? What? I see.
You didn't even tell me. Were you on a date that night? Is that why you were at the movie theater? Oh, with friends, okay, fair.
No, no, it was a stroke of genius, because he was not taking no for an answer, and when you interrupted to say hi to your old friend, it was perfect timing. He didn't like it very much, let's just put it that way, plus it was a really ingenious way to get my phone number, to, you know, catch up since we last saw each other. Brilliant.
Well played. Have you ever done that before? Was that like a move? No? Well, you did it brilliantly.
It worked, anyway. Yeah. So, we've had dinner, and I've rambled sufficiently to embarrass myself.
Um, no, I don't really want to go home. That was nice. Yeah, it was.
It's really warm in here, and it's not just the fireplace. Um. Mm.
Mm. Mm. Mm.
Mm. Mm. Mm.
Mm. Yeah. Mm.
Yeah. No. No.
No, I don't want to go to the bedroom right here, it's fine. Mm. Mm.
Mm. Oh. Oh, your hands.
They're wandering. Yeah, it's okay. Mm.
Mm. Yeah, it's okay. Mm.
Mm. You have, have you, been wondering what's under my top all night? And now you know.
Um, before we do what I'm thinking is about to happen, I just want to put it out there that I'm not looking for anything serious right now. Okay? Wait, I mean it.
I'm good with whatever we're about to do. I just, I don't want anything to be unclear, okay? Yeah.
I haven't been with anybody since my divorce, so I might not be very good at this, I'm gonna warn you now. But, um, I'm just not in the right space to, to make a go of it with anybody right now. Is that okay? Yeah? Okay, as long as we're on the same page.
Mm? What? Yeah, I did say I might not be very good at it.
Uh, no, no, there was no issues with my husband, ex-husband. Sexually, uh, this is an awkward turn for this conversation, um, he was just very singular in what he liked, so there wasn't a lot of opportunity to try new things, I guess is the best way to say it. Mm-hmm.
Well, that's one way to put it, so my wild oats, I guess. Um, I don't really want to talk about this, if that's okay. I kind of just want to do.
I feel like I've spent my whole life talking and analyzing and overthinking, and right now I just want to touch you and get naked with you and do things with you that I've only ever heard about. Is that okay? Mm.
Mm.
