Well I had a great experience the other night. Some of you might know that I started seeing SPs in December and was planning to do it one time, but I loved it so much I have been seeing 2-3 a month ever since and having the time of my life.
I had a point where I started realizing that seeing SPs was not going to be enough for me long term, as I am a relationship guy, I love the feeling of reciprocal connection, and being with someone 3-5 hours a month then alone the rest of the time is not going to cut it for me.
Anyways I have been doing this while also on dating apps waiting for an opportunity to come around that I wanted to pursue more than the freedom and excitement i get here
The irony is after spending hundreds of dollars on apps, boosts, likes etc and countless hours swiping and messaging, I went to a friends BBQ the other day and there was a woman there that I was immediately drawn to and couldn't stop checking out
Instead of doing my usual, and using the newfound confidence that seeing SPs had given me, I sat in the circle where she was and introduced myself and we started chatting.
I noticed that she was matching my energy, asking me direct questions, and showing interest. I started asking her more personal questions about her life
At some point I decided I'm going for it and asking her for her number. I then spent the next hour waiting for the other people around us to leave so I could ask her
That never happened but I seized on a moment and asked her anyways. She said yes.
I just had a great text exchange with her tonight and we are going on a date next week.
Its a little bittersweet as if things go well I will have to close this chapter that has brought me such joy
But mostly I have excitement for the future. And it all starts from taking a risk.
