going to a museum with a cutie, getting to show her around, gently grasping her hand with confidence, leading her to the coolest areas, or the things she loves the most, getting to watch the wonder in her eyes, showing her a funny looking thing to hear her heartstopping giggle as we try to remain quiet.. getting to hold her, the shy, innocent look on her face when wrapping an arm around her, her leaning in to feel the warmth and safety.. would do anything for just a tiny part of that
Who wants to mutually masturbate to porn, which then leads to an in person recreation? I'm horny and need my asshole pounded and my fingers inside someone.
so, my best friend of 3+ years was single for a while. I've always liked him but I struggle with my sexual/romantic identity so I never pursued anything. he's a couple years older than me and has dated LOADS of people. he was also polyamorous at one point but anyway. he was single, and I was thinking, wow, this might be my chance, I'll ask him the next time we meet up.
NOPE.
I'm meeting him tomorrow AND HE'S BRING HIS FUCKING BOYFRIEND. guess who the fucking boyfriend is. this brat (SEVERAL YEARS YOUNGER THAN HIM) who BLACKMAILED him into a relationship and whines all the fucking time.
you know what i want?? a partner but in every sense of the word. partner in love, partner in crime, partner in friendship. i want someone who is just as noncommital and wild and flexible and indecisive as me. i want someone who is okay with fucking around and is okay with me fucking around and experimenting with different people and different personalities and different vibes until we come back together again. someone who puts our friendship before our love. someone who trusts me and i trust them so thoroughly that i can call them at 3am and talk till 5 when I'm having a bad day. who won't hesitate to call me when they feel upset or need someone to talk to. partners. not lovers, or friends, or family. partners. and i find so deeply and thoroughly romantic it's hard for me to breathe.
