146. The Toolman rises from the dead

So I saw this profile on Tinder.  The name was right, the age was a couple of years younger than the truth and there were no face pictures, just a picture of a guy in a panda suit.  It was not the kind of profile I would ever match with, but the bio sure sounded familiar:…Read more 146.

129. The Captain (52)

The Captain’s profile on the swinger’s site was much like mine.  He seemed to be looking for the same thing as me but I hadn’t paid him any attention, based on his age. I saw he had looked at me a few times and I had acknowledged his “likes” but I was busy responding to…Read more 129. The Captain (52)

123. The Swinger’s Site

The morning after The Mystery Man, I sat and wrote my blog about it. I have been thinking that the casual sex with 30 year olds is probably not the path I want to take again. I want the passion and excitement of The Toolman with somebody who loves me. But I need a man…Read more 123. The Swinger’s Site

121 – The Mystery Man – part 2

I snap chatted to the Seeking Arrangement Guy for days.  While he kept the chat going he did so slowly, revealing little about himself, in increasing increments.  He kept inviting me over to his place, which I wasn’t feeling reckless enough to do.  However I was getting ready to take the plunge and meet him for…Read more 121 – The Mystery Man – part 2

108. The Lessons

Its been a mere week since my last contact with The Toolman.  While there is part of me that still fantasises about him growing the balls required to mend fences with me, I have to get some perspective. I decided this week to delete my dating apps again. Every time a guy sent me a message…Read more 108. The Lessons

105. My world explodes

Over the following days, The Toolman and I sent a few “good morning” and "good night" texts, but it didn’t feel the same.  We had lost this habit during the last three weeks and it felt forced and disingenuous. During that week I checked his activity on the couples website and it made me mad…Read more 105. My world explodes

103. The Toolman gets punished

The Toolman was right when he told me he was coming down with something.  After we spoke he spent the next four days in bed with a horrible flu. During those four days he was bored and texted me a lot. He was obviously feeling pretty sorry for himself and we missed each other. While…Read more 103. The Toolman gets punished

92. Saturdays with The Toolman

I was lying in bed on Saturday morning talking on the phone, waiting for The Toolman to message me that he was on his way. I hung up the call and checked my screen. Nothing. Hmm. I sent him a message asking what time he was coming over and then his picture flashed up on…Read more 92. Saturdays with The Toolman

88. The Toolman and My Birthday

The Toolman had family commitments that meant I wouldn’t see him all weekend. He would be in the countryside and without good phone reception so even text messages would be infrequent. I filled my weekend with my friends and chores so I would be busy and not miss him too much. The text messages continued…Read more 88. The Toolman and My Birthday

87. The Toolman and Date Day

Before our trip to the park, The Toolman and I had planned to spend the day together when I returned from my trip. I had missed him while I was away and while the trip to the park had been amazing fun, it was only an hour and I needed more time to enjoy him.As…Read more 87. The Toolman and Date Day
