Date 15 — Slightly Perplexing

Date fifteen with BFD was slightly perplexing. On reflection, I think it might have been very important.  It was relatively short, especially considering the numbers of activities we wedged in.  
On Saturday, I arrived at his place a little before 5.  In 3.5 hours, we had unbelievably mind-blowing sex, took a bath together that was [...]

Insights from the Alternate Reality 1

I had a long, leisurely lunch and stroll with the Alternate Reality* today.  
AR and I laughed about the fact that I keep attracting the same type of guy (like him, BP, and BFD): wildly successful entrepreneurs.  He said, well, you know why, don’t you?
I said, yeah, sure, so he asked me to tell him [...]

Status Fall-Out and Where We Stand

On Monday, BFD inadvertently toggled something on his fb page that reported to everyone that “[BFD] is no longer listed as ‘single.’”  As expected, people begin posting on his wall for details.  
Yesterday afternoon, he issued a status update saying the reality I already knew: he made a mistake, so no more questions about it.  [...]

Not Public, Yet.

I am very private about my personal life, for good reason.
I spent years as the subject of much gossip.   I tended to date men who are relatively well-known in our world, and people loved to talk about who I was dating. Many people who were my friends then (pre-A) are no longer [...]

Date 14 — Dinner with the Boyfriend

BFD came over tonight for a quick dinner and to talk.  It was among the shortest times we have ever spent together, and yet, as a result, things feel even more solid.
Though we had planned to see each other Sunday (for our first ever two dates in a calendar week), I never heard from him.  [...]

The Fine Line Between Charming and Irritating

LP, who I just met last night, emailed me at 8:30 am to ask me out for tonight.
Before, I was charmed.  Now, I am mildly irritated.
I have not decided exactly how I will decline, but I am tempted to call him to say, “look, I am flattered, but I am seeing someone (as I told [...]

I Have a Boyfriend

I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with my boyfriend.  I am calling him my boyfriend because he is.  
That is not what I told “LP” the handsome man who sat down at my table tonight at the fancy downtown bar.  
I was alone, waiting for some clients, and LP walked past, stopped, and [...]

Chinese Food = 2.2 Pounds

I have been struggling with my weight since the beginning of February when I lost 4 pounds in two days while ill.  My weight dropped from 115 to 111.
Since then, I have been trying to put weight back on.  I have eaten a pound of french fries along with real lemonade, chips and queso along [...]

No Longer Rocky on Date 13

Things with BFD can no longer be described as “rocky.”  He has been more involved with me, more attentive, and completely re-engaged in our relationship.
We had the best date we have had in a long time.  Everything was so comfortable.  Everything was so easy.  
This afternoon, BFD sent me a long conversation he had over [...]
