I’ve written before that I’d been meeting up with some couples lately. The first two weren’t that successful, but the third? The third was so worth it.

It feels rare lately that I feel so connected to someone else. It was him in the couple that messaged me but it never really felt like I was talking to just him. He’d always include her in any answers or bring up what she was doing on the weekend or whatever else. I don’t think it’s easy for couples to maintain their individuality AND present as a couple. But he manages it really well.

Also, they are just a really cool couple. During messaging we’d touched on topics like our dogs, a particular type of film we all enjoy, the books we like reading. There was definitely enough there that when he asked if I was free to come over to theirs the next week, I said ‘yes’ straightaway. Even going to their place and not meeting in a neutral cafe or pub didn’t strike me as overly strange.

I maybe didn”t get to know the other two couples well enough before we got to the meeting face to face stage, but I feel like I got there with these two. The moment I walked in I already felt comfortable. And he took my awkward babble well enough. And when she came downstairs, even though she and I hadn’t technically messaged at all, I found it quite chatting with her too. And chatting to both of them was ridiculously easy too. If ever he knew more about something because I’d mentioned it in a message, he’d quickly fill her in so we were all on the same page. They were both really interested in what I had to say. Questions were being thrown on all sides and I quickly started thinking ‘god, I hope they’re both into me’

When they asked me over to their place I did actually think it was a …come over to ours for a social wink wink sort of situation. That maybe we’d chat and laugh until we all felt comfortable and then maybe the clothes would start coming off. But it didn’t happen that way. We all chatted for hours and hours. I stayed way longer than I’d intended and way longer than I would have for ‘just’ a social. But I had so much fun with them. Everything just flowed nicely into other areas to talk about and it was also just really great that we were aligned on the important stuff.

They did say towards the end of the evening that they were attracted to me but they said it in a way that was like, here’s where we’re at, if you’re in the same place then let us know. To like, save me from being put under pressure while in their home, in their space. I thought it was thoughtful and lovely of them.

But now that I know that we did all fancy each other? I do have a little thought in the back of my brain that says why didn’t something happen?

I think that’s just my impatience talking. We’re currently trying to arrange for the next time I can come around. And there will be more nudity and touching. I’m very much looking forward to it!
