THE UNICORN
It’s a trip and a half to sleep with someone who’s read every word you’ve ever posted. This happened last week. Super nice guy, he messaged me via Instagram. We had several direct messages, which included a little about our lives, but mostly about pricing and logistics. He admitted to having never done anything like this. He thanked me for being so open and kind, and said he’d think about it. Not much time passed before I received a DM saying he was ready. We decided to meet for a drink first and if all went well, we’d get a hotel for the next time. Our drink date was set for almost two weeks in the future. Our schedules were hectic. It’s tough when I travel so much. It’s especially time consuming when I need to factor in at least a full day after I get home to decompress from my time with the crazy Texan. He was extremely respectful of my space during this the two weeks—minimal messaging and mostly as a response rather than an unsolicited reach out—which I greatly appreciated. Some men (most men) push my boundaries—looking for free attention—once they feel they have an in. This guy was different.
