So what happened to the two guys you met, Phoebe?

I put the stats for the year at the top of my last post, and I realized readers may desire some further elaboration on why the men in the "meet" category didn't make it to the "fucked" category.

Allow me to explain.

The first guy was very promising! We hit it off via text and chatted for 2-3 weeks before meeting for coffee. As soon as I saw him in the parking lot, I knew it wasn't going to work out.

He was a smoker.

And when he came inside, the smell wafted off him. I just can't with smoking. I'm allergic and it disgusts me. This guy was an EMT supervisor so if anyone should know better, it's him! UGH! 

Sucks because it might have worked out otherwise.

Second guy I met the second week of March, and we were all set to get together the following week for something a little racier than a smoothie at Surf Bagel.

But then we went into quarantine later that week.

Haven't been able to meet up since. Plus he went from texting me and checking in with me on occasion to ONLY contacting me on the site email. That is a red flag to me. It's moving backward instead of forward, and now I'm not sure I will meet up with him again.

One of the men I'm talking to only sends one-word texts and no longer engages in conversation, so he's probably going to be a no-go. We had plans to meet in person, then the day before finalizing them he ghosted me for almost a week before reappearing. Yet he still texts me every day or every other day to say "Hey" and then nothing when I respond. I think he's probably stringing me along to see if something else works out and then he'll have me to fall back on if it doesn't. 

I'm talking to two others. One is demanding more photos (when I have over 50 on the site and sent him some others. He has ONE on the site), and the other is recovering from COVID-19. Seriously.

Westward Ho!

The title of this post is because I just lost another FWB to the West. Well, not JUST. It's actually been a few months now. But I'm just really coming to terms with maybe searching for a new one.  I'm sad because The Keeper was a great guy. I didn't play with him nearly enough, but we did form a wonderful friendship, and of course we'll stay friends. And he's from this area and has family here so he will probably visit from time to time. It's just he found a really great job in Arizona and already had friends there, so it was a no-brainer for him to move out there. So...back to the elusive search. I was traveling for a few weeks, and then I came down with an evil cold. I'm still not 100%, and I'm entering Week 3 of this sinus crap. And I'm about to travel again, but only for a week this time, and then I'm home for a long stretch before traveling again. It's an ideal time to look. The search seems so pointless though. The vast majority of ...

lamentations

Well...I'm actually updating this in a timely manner. It's a miracle, right? There are some good things: The eclipse was amazing. Vacation Dick made several appearances on my travels. The event I hosted over the weekend went very well, and I got a ton of positive feedback.   It's good to focus on the positive, right?   But it's not all sunshine and roses. I got rear-ended (not a sexual euphemism this time) on my way to the event, and my new car sustained some damage. I'm okay--and that should be on the positive list above, but it's going to be a pain in the ass to deal with. Plus the $1000 deductible (because it was a hit and run, which adds to the uncontrollable rage I'm feeling about it) at a time that happens to coincide with a couple of very bad months in the publishing department is not great. Vacation Dick shriveled up when I got home, naturally. So, back to the drawing board with FWBs. Two potentials I was talking to in the past two months have ghoste...

 I seem to have a big dick magnet these days. Oh, wait. I'm an editor, and I should know better. It's not clear from that sentence if it's a BIG dick magnet or a BIG-DICK magnet. I mean the latter. I never met up with the other guy from my last post. We kept trying to connect, and it never seemed to work, so I just gave up. I'm really too busy right now anyway, and I'm actually supposed to be finishing a book right now that I have a very tight deadline for, so of course I'm doing this instead. Anyway. Finally get an email from a local guy. He's a little young for me (38) but... Well, I'll just show you: There's a big red flag there, and it's not the Italian thing (ha, had to say that because my husband is Italian.) It's the 11.5 dick, of course. I've been on these sites for 17 years. No, that's not a misprint--this fall it will literally be 17 years since I joined SLS and AFF. I've had hundreds of exchanges with men, many of whom ...
