the dancer

We connect on tinder and text back and forth for about a half hour before he finally asks me out. We agree to meet tonight and set a time. I pick my place and we are set. I arrive a bit early – there is a line. It’s gorgeous outside and this place has outdoor […]

the skier

So today I met up with a really nice guy. We met at the column in union square.I got there early – as usual – and watched a bunch of kids having a great time dancing up on the stage area. Like a dance party, they had house music going and were dancing as if […]

the librarian

We connect on OKC. Over the last year I have noticed him checking me out periodically. At one point I decided he didn’t fit what I was looking for and blocked his profile from showing up in my search results. But he persevered over time and eventually I connected with him. Today’s date was sort […]

The explorer

Baseball guy

This was another tindr date. We had been texting for a week and it was flirty and fun. So we agreed to finally meet. Unfortunately this wasn’t as awesome as the Sunday Hookup. I guess we get one of those at least in our life. I picked a favorite sushi place in the mission. He […]

Silver haired teddy bear – part 2

So we spend a lot of time with lots of messaging back and forth. Actually almost a month of this. He has been fairly non committal on meeting again over the course of the last several weeks. At one point we talked about meeting but then it wasn’t clear if this was confirmed. So I made […]
