So I created a profile on the new latest iPhone dating app. Swipe right if you like, left if you don’t. There are basic profiles and pictures but connections to your facebook account and the system shows you if you know people in common.

Lots of lying about ages on this app. But I am at the gym Sunday morning and I get a message. I look and turns out one of the guys who I had swiped right the night before had messaged me twice late last night. And was messaging me again.

He was wondering if I was interested in getting together. He was visiting from out of town, interested in a having fun but not dating or looking for a relationship. I texted back that I was open to meeting interesting cool people. He thought I might not be into his thing and that was ok, he liked my smile in my pictures. He said he wanted some naughty fun. 

I was on the elliptical trainer trying to exercise and text at the same time. Interesting thing to try. It doesn’t really work.

But I told him I might be interested in naughty fun so he asked what next? I suggested we meet for a coffee or drink and see and take it from there. It could be weird or creepy and a public place and conversation would sort that out.

So he says he doesn’t drink but he is ok to meet at a place with a bar. We  set a time for later that afternoon. I find a place with outdoor seating since it was such a nice day out.

The app uses our Facebook profile info to fill in interests and the default pics and it lets you know if you have common friends. We have 1. So I go to her profile and search her friends for his first name, which is all I have, and find him and his profile. Now I know his last name and more info. He looks interesting and has a cool job. So I am feeling better about this. Lots less information than the other site I regularly use. But this is a hookup and spontaneous and I am super horny.

When he finishes his afternoon commitment, he texts me that it is done and he can meet. I leave the house, down the hill and onto the bus. And surprise, surprise, I get there first. 

Because of the nice day, there is a line. The doorman asks if there is anyone eating because there are 2 tables available. I say yes and they send me up and seat me despite my party not being all there. That’s pretty unusual. 

He texts me that he is on his way and then parking while the hostess is giving me the stink eye. I finally order a drink just to get them to stop giving me the evil eye and finally he arrives – via the stairs no less rather than the elevator.

He looks like his pics – big goofy internet guy. Large personality. Large facial hair. We talk about hookups, we talk about his experience doing that, we talk about my dating experiences with OkC and then we start talking about our work.

When I mention where he works, I ask if he knows a certain person and of course he does and then we start a bit of network comparison – realizing that we have a lot of common acquaintances. More so than the one connection that was shown on Facebook. He starts to freak out about that a bit – because he does these hookups when he travels, no on knows this side of him. Not sure what kind of persona he portrays at home but whatever.

We order some food and eat and then eventually he says he would totally want to be with me and kiss me right now. So I ask him why he doesn’t kiss me right now so he does. Hmmm. I decide that yes I would like to follow through on the hookup – exciting, racy, scary, dangerous?!!!

Since he is from out of town and staying with a friend and I didn’t want to invite him to my place, he offers to get us a hotel room.

OMG I am about to go to a hotel room just for sex.

I am still seriously amped up from a very sexy conversation earlier in the day with Mr. Charisma so I am super horny. I say yes and he finds a place and books it. We drive downtown and park. We check in, no luggage hah!

Go up and proceed to make out and then clothes come off. He is very different than Mr. Charisma, not as attuned to me but he does do oral so that is a plus. Eventually he wants me on top and I end up having an amazing orgasm at the same time as he does.

We snuggle a bit after and he is totally enamored with me. He wants to see me again. After he spent an hour at the restaurant telling me he wouldn’t be demanding, or all clingy or ask for any strings. I find this funny – a very female behavior. He tells me I am amazing and that he really felt like we connected so if I was interested, he would like to see me again.

I like him so yeah, I would see him again. 

Later he takes me home and then texts me the sweetest things telling me how awesome and amazing I am. This can seriously go to my head and is fantastic for my self-esteem which is going through a reconditioning after 10 years of self doubt and physical self hatred.

Hookup success, hookup fail (if a true hookup is a one time thing with no strings).
