in between recap

posting later but pre-dating so it fits. G. did send flowers, and they were lovely, but nothing changed. And the next time I went over, there was no toothbrush and I’m pretty sure he’d forgotten there ever was. He’s so sweet but I do suspect managing a number of us, it must be hard to keep it all straight. I know I have a hard enough time with changing sheets and putting out the right brand and size of condom and liquor, etc.

We also had a misunderstanding I’m not proud of. I got the daily date email from the dating site we met on (How About We) with a new date posted from him, and it just devastated me. It was posted the same day we had a date, so he’d done it while he was waiting for me. I didn’t see it until after, the day before I went to Texas, and I was just crushed. I finally sent him an email basically saying I didn’t have any illusions about exclusivity but I still didn’t like seeing the evidence in my inbox — btw, the first email I’d ever sent him. and then there was silence. for days. Did I mention I was crushed?

Well after a few days I ignored it and send him a funny picture text and we resumed our usual back & forth. Fast forward a week or two, and guess what? I had a stack of voice messages I didn’t know about (I’d switched carriers and didn’t set everything up right). He’d called the moment he got the email, had apologized and claimed it was an error while fixing his account. Don’t know if I believe that but definitely appreciate the sentiment. AND I HAD HAD NO IDEA he’d left the message. I felt like a fucking idiot. Glad I didn’t make a bigger deal of it.

Later, saw him for a usual date and neither of us mentioned it. We pretended it didn’t happen, and we had some of the best sex to date. Man, I love that man’s dick.
