time ONE
9:50 a.m.
Jenna has texted to see if we are able to hang today. I have blown the woman off for the last few weeks, and I also think really terrible about this. I am simply a whole lot much less thrilled to see the lady versus other folks I’m online dating, all of whom I’ve met on dating applications. She’s so much better as compared to others, and she actually is a baker (therefore free of charge goodies), so it’s totally messed-up that I am not that curious. We found just before the pandemic started and just merely started watching both again. Unclear how much time that endure, though.
11 a.m.
I’ve a stupid level of work because of nowadays. I’m a lawyer, also because from the character of my personal clients, we are busier than ever today. I go into my personal home business office and try to keep my head down and focus.
2 p.m.
Rob texts. He is the assholes I’m much more worked up about than Jenna. He is a banker I’ve been seeing don and doff for annually today with spurts of more-frequent temperature and periods of “I wonder easily’ll ever see this person once again” distance. I am into him because he’s cocky with a fantastic dick; we like to party and enjoy yourself. Jenna is much more poetry and artisanal cocktails âsweet not because interesting.
9 p.m.
Both Rob and Jenna need to hang, but i need to work later this evening and when i am completed functioning, I’m very, really fatigued.
time a couple
9:30 a.m.
Jenna is already trying for this evening! She asks basically wish to accomplish some virtual wine-and-cheese sampling along with her. I tell the lady the facts which is that i wish to operate some miles after finishing up work and that is really the only purpose. She offers to arrive over and provide me personally a massage after my run; she provides fantastic massage treatments. I tell this lady its a night out together.
5 p.m.
Job is very long and draining. I really don’t enjoy getting an attorney, however again, I really don’t believe the majority of lawyers like getting lawyers.
6:30 p.m.
Start running. First I listen to podcasts but that is perhaps not providing me the power I wanted. I switch to
Hamilton
â that really works.
9:30 p.m.
Jenna comes over and gives myself a great therapeutic massage, which leads to a great nights fooling around. Absolutely nothing crazy. I go down on their and she’s got an amazing climax then she falls on me and that I have actually a pretty good any also. As she leaves, however, I form of know that i will not see the girl once more. Hanging out with each other is like an excessive amount of a chore. I’m not sure the reason why.
time THREE
11 a.m.
Jeff, another guy i have been on a couple dates with, messages he’s around and would like to simply take us to meal. I really like Jeff much. He’s lovely, smart, amusing, winning ⦠and a Scientologist. I guess he’s a Scientologist-light, but it’s nevertheless a part of their life. He doesn’t choose to mention it, and I also don’t want to create him feel judged. I am really inquisitive, but We often bite my language to help keep from asking more info on their background and growing right up inside the chapel. I understand their entire family is pretty effective involved.
7:30 p.m.
We meet up at a tapas restaurant and sit external, without a doubt. Jeff looks fantastic, and that I like the way he smells. It’s advisable that you see him and not boring ways its with Jenna. We drink plenty of Sangria.
11 p.m.
We choose his destination inside a pretty brownstone while having gender. It is not wild gender but it’s regular, right, “throw-on a condom and shag me personally” sex, therefore feels very good. I get down.
DAY FOUR
9 a.m.
I am exhausted and feel just a little unusual about last night. I really like the notion of casual gender, but often the gender hangover helps make me personally feel unsettled and stressed. I choose send Jeff for the area of Jenna, which can be to state: I’m not probably see him again.
5 p.m.
That departs Rob, the douche banker, nevertheless any I have usually wanted most importantly. As I’m with him I feel like I’m part of a popular few in a TV program, just as if I’m the bitchy hot bisexual and heis the hot dickhead banker. The intimate chemistry is from the charts, therefore we have one another in many ways that not one person else actually ever will.
5:15 p.m.
We text Rob that people’re acquiring drinks tonight. He produces right back instantaneously, “Where?” We pick a location near me personally.
8:30 p.m.
Acquiring drinks with Rob is refreshing as always. He is amusing and sharp, and I think amused by him instead of exhausted by him.
10 p.m.
We get back to the house, and that I decide that since I merely had gender with Jeff, I should ensure that is stays classy and simply blow Rob. No sex during my human anatomy tonight. Thus I do so actually exceptionally, and everyone goes home pleased.
time FIVE
9 a.m.
Outdoor yoga class. Feels great to-do something type of normal â although the face masks commonly just the thing for strong, significant respiration.
11 a.m.
An extended walk that ends with brunch with girlfriends. I’m definitely the one that features all great cougar hookup stories. I’m not ready to settle-down, and could work is actually demanding allowing me to concentrate on serious interactions; for the time being, informal hookups are the most effective I am able to carry out.
4 p.m.
We text with a female I found online a long time ago, Lila. She was a student in L.A. back then, but she is recently come back to New York to-do some modeling. She simply flew right back, so she’s got to quarantine for another week before performing everything. I’m thrilled to get to know her in real world though.
DAY SIX
9 a.m.
We awaken to a long text from Jenna that she feels deserted and like We cut this lady off with these insensitivity. Since we last saw each other, i am slowly ghosting their, creating right back every three or four messages without much enthusiasm. We assumed it would only disappear. I would like to tell the girl to get over it! The reason why do you wish to be with a person that doesn’t want to be to you? That is a dynamic I’ll most likely never comprehend.
3:45 p.m.
Rob desires to hang. Needless to say he does â I blew him to pieces in my own home another night and wanted absolutely nothing inturn. I knew we would end up being chilling out tonight before the guy actually asked. We simply tell him I’m video game.
6 p.m
. We fulfill at an outdoor bar with great hamburgers and start drinking and flirting. Its enjoyable. Over the years, I believe a tiny bit bloated from drinks and hamburgers and determine I won’t end up being hooking up with Rob this evening.
8:30 p.m.
“Dude, I’m very exhausted,” we state, providing him the clue. He seems bummed but states it really is all good and walks me personally home to my apartment, holding my personal hand. A very non-douchey progress his part.
time SEVEN
10 a.m.
My personal brand-new dildo appeared nowadays. We ordered it on the internet after checking out tips. We take it out of package, and it’s therefore beautiful. We opt to imagine a threesome beside me, an attractive woman, and a person with a large dick. My personal imagination goes insane and I also get-off after a few moments. After, I go to sleep and nap for a while.
6 p.m.
No one is attempting to go out beside me this evening. I might have to find my self a harvest of crushes.
