Mr. Charisma – part 4

So our next date is actually dinner. And some shopping. He is going to a rave later in the week and needs an outfit so he asks if I will shop with him. I pick him up from his house after work and he is curious about what I am wearing and gives me a […]

The ex-musician

He reaches out asking if I would be interested in meeting up for dinner and some music. He is in town for a conference and an ex-musician. I say yes and he suggests a couple of places for music and food. We agree to meet there. Once again I am trying out a place in […]

The cheerleader – part 4

So we end up having a fourth date—dinner this time.  He picks me up on his motorcycle again and we ride across the city to his favorite Thai restaurant.  Before we head out there though, he swings by his work to pick up something and ends up giving me a pair of leather motorcycle gloves. […]

Thoughts on physicality

When I went through my hibernation period, I didn’t go out with anyone for 10 years. I never kissed anyone and didn’t have sex – for 10 long years. Other than a brief hug with friends or family, I wasn’t touched by anyone during this time. Going without touch for that long builds up a […]

The art broker

Out of the blue i am messaged – he is in town from LA and wants to know if I would be interested to go hangout and check out some galleries in the mission district. Spontaneously I say yes. It is a nice Sunday afternoon and I have no plans. We agree to meet down […]

The cheerleader part 3

So we exchange some messages confirming the next date. We are going Roller skating. Super fun! He picks me up on his motorcycle – I have my own helmet, armored jacket but forget my gloves. He has gotten salads at Trader Joe’s and we head to Dolores Park. It is gorgeous outside – not too […]

The physician

We spend a few weeks messaging back and forth trying to nail down a date. Eventually, we agree on dinner, in my neighborhood. Sushi. Great, I can walk. He is young, over 15 years my junior, and very endearing. I show up and he is already there, sitting on his Harley, in his leather jacket. […]

The runner

What a strange date. We agree to meet at the new bar in my neighborhood. He is coming from Burlingame and I am lazy in terms of travel. I get there a few minutes early – of course. An attractive man shows up – he is dressed in a suit jacket and fresh pressed button […]
