Why do I put myself in these situations? I ask myself as I collect my belongings from the floor, another forgettable guy and another forgettable night. I slip my cocktail dress on and grab my high heels and continue my walk of shame out of this random apartment. I have gotten used to this walk I think I have done it at least 12 times this month and I always feel the same no matter how many times I repeat it…… unsatisfied.
I step outside to the cold wind of January, and I dig through my purse to find my phone and open my dating app. I am 26 years old, 5’5 and roughly 127 pounds my breasts are 34B which in some eyes are pretty small, but they fit my body well. Personally, I think my ass is my best asset and men seem to think so as well. My hair is curly and jet black, but I usually straighten it and I like to put some color in it from time to time.
The dating app is filled with matches that won’t even get a second glance and are quickly swipe lefts. One caught my eye which is surprising because by the looks of it he’s not my usually type however there is something about his smile that makes him somewhat attractive in a nerdy kind of way. His name is Jack, 24 years old with a slender build wears glasses from the looks of things being honest he’s not much to look at. Well jack looks like you won the lottery you get a swipe right.
I reach my apartment building unlock my front door and step inside then I hear the buzz of my phone I look at it and its Jack. It just reads a simple “Hey…. What’s up?” I reply with “Hi Kinda tired…. Rough night can we talk in the A.M? and within a minute he replies “Yes, of course”. I was half expecting an exclamation mark at then of “of course” but I guess he didn’t want to come across as to eager. Well Jack you did, and this is already starting to look like a train wreck.
I take a hot shower and climb into bed it’s only 11 at night which is rather early for me, but it seems like a fitting end to a truly uneventful night. Some nights are better than others but almost none of the encounters I have end up in something meaningful. Sometimes I question if that is what I really want or am I destined to ride hoe train? My friends for the most part have stable relationships with guys that are alright I guess a lot of them were jocks in high school and I have had my fair share of those types, but nothing seems to stick. I am usually told my standards are too high or I am looking in the wrong places well mom where would you like me to look? I guess that is why I swiped right on Jack he really isn’t my type I usually get the big muscular men who look like they live in the gym, and most can’t even get it up for round 2.
With all these thoughts in my head its hard for me to comfortable to sleep so I grab my phone and I message Jack “Fuck it can’t sleep what’s up?” in about five minutes he responds “Oh Hi… Sarah, right? Sorry you can’t sleep um not much just watching a movie. So why did you have a rough night? If you don’t mind me asking”
Well, it could only go wrong from here, so I replied with “Well for starters I had a really lame date and got fucked by some guy who I think his name was Max? In any case he was terrible in bed. Does that sum it up for you?”
“So, you sleep with a guy on the first date?” he replies
“No what kind of woman do you take me for?” I lied
“Sorry! Wasn’t trying to imply anything just the way you made it seem…. Look I am really bad at this I haven’t had much luck with these apps most of the time I get a bot, or I get ghosted maybe we should just start over?” he messages back
I appreciate the honesty it’s a breath of fresh air and really, I wasn’t expecting much most guys won’t even admit if they are having trouble getting ladies. I let him simmer for a while before I responded.
“What are you trying to get out of this? And apology accepted” I reply
“Just a date you know if you are ok with that?” he texts back
“Just a date? How modest of you or do you mean trying to get laid?” I respond
“Just a date I swear does tomorrow night work?” He responds
I wait for a moment before I reply “Yes”, and we exchanged numbers and flushed out the details of our “date” again this has horrible written all over it and he probably wont even be able to get me to the bedroom, but I am giving him a chance. I’ve been on plenty of crap dates before why not add another one to the ever-growing list. We say our good nights and I eventually drift off to sleep thinking of all the things that can go wrong tomorrow.
I wake up early and make myself some coffee it’s just another Tuesday, so I go through my morning routine and head to work. I work a rather boring office job for an Architecture group I am a junior architect, but I do most of the work it feels, and I am hoping I can start designing my own projects soon and move up. I get a text from Jack that reads “Looking forward to tonight I’ll see you at 7”. At least this guy has manners I didn’t respond.
The day went by quickly and I headed home after work I eventually responded to jack saying, “Yeah see you there”. Picking out my outfit for tonight was rather easy we agreed to meet at a all you can eat sushi place, so I didn’t really have to dress up all that nice, so I chose to wear skinny fitting light blue jeans, a grey t-shirt and a cardigan. I picked out a pair of white adidas sneakers and called an Uber.
Did I mention I hate sushi?
I arrive at the sushi restaurant about 5 minutes late and I see a rather unremarkable looking olive skin guy waiting by the front door. He’s about 5’6, 140 pounds and dark brown hair cut short, and he is wearing black thick rimmed glasses and has a moustache that was not in his picture on the dating app, but the resemblance is clear it’s Jack. He is wearing a blue coat, a maroon shirt with black jeans and some funny looking tweed cap.
“Hi Jack, right? I’m Sarah nice to meet you” I say extending my hand
“……… Hi! yes I’m Jack you look stunning” he said hesitantly shaking my hand “I thought you weren’t going to show up for a second there” he added.
“Well, I’m here, aren’t I? Shall we?” I said waving towards the door.
“Oh Right” Jack said opening the door.
We got seated quickly and they had some tablet at the table where you place your orders, and the servers bring the food out to you. I have never been to a place like this before, so this was all new to me. I ended up ordering something called crab sashimi
“I hope you like it this place some of the best sushi” He explained
“I actually don’t like sushi I had a bad experience with some store bought sushi a few years back and I have no idea what I ordered but it said crab and I like crab” I said admittedly
“See that’s your first problem” He said smiling “sushi you buy from the grocery store is “garbo” you need to go to the real places like this it’s going to change your mind trust me” He added
He explained to me that sashimi is just thinly sliced fish or meat, and you typically eat it with soy sauce he then told me about all the different types of food they had on the menu like Teppanyaki and maki rolls. Which was quite helpful I was drawn in by his smile and the way he spoke like who says “garbo”, but I found it oddly cute. Maybe this won’t be a complete train wreck after all?
Our food arrived and we talked about a lot of different things work, movies and hobbies he had a very crude sense of humor that I think he only finds funny, but I admit he made me laugh a few times. One thing I noticed right away is he was a good listener which is a very important skill to have. Eventually we landed on the topic of past relationships.
“Well, you are going to laugh but uhh I never really had a girlfriend except for that one time when I was in summer school” Jack said
“Is this the plot summary of Grease or something? Are you going to break into song about summer love?” I laughed.
“No, I’m beings serious you know just I never really had any luck with women. Honestly, I am shocked you are even here right now, and this is really happening because you are a perfect 10 in my eyes’ he stammered
“Tip #1 lose the moustache its not a good look and saying I am a perfect 10 just sounds like you are trying to get in my pants. So, you never had sex then? I asked
“Well…… ummm… n-no I have not” he said defeated
“Kissed a girl?” I questioned
“Once when I was 16 with a girl named Jennifer” he answered
“Hate to break it to you but I have you beat” I said nonchalant taking a sip from my glass “I have had many sexual encounters, so I have a lot of experience in that department but never really had a solid relationship. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been in love”
I don’t know why I was telling him about my past encounters, but he listened intently to every word I was saying like I was the only person in the entire restaurant. I explained in just enough details my “walks of shame” and how I don’t think love exists. I was going to tell him about how many guys I slept with, but he stopped me and said “I don’t need to know its alright that stuff doesn’t matter” which was nice usually guys get freaked out about the number of guys I’ve slept with, but Jack didn’t seem to care.
The night went well surprisingly a lot better then expected the food was good actually and I told Jack that it changed my opinion on sushi and Japanese food in general. He was incredibly well mannered and down to earth a major change compared to the other men I have encountered. We made our way to the door, and he opened it for me. He told me that he enjoyed the evening and asked if I was up for another in a few days I accepted, and he was about to leave before I stopped him.
“What no kiss good night? you can’t just have a nice dinner with a woman and expect to leave them” I said
“Oh, sorry I- I didn’t know if that was appropriate” he answered sheepishly
“Who gives a fuck about appropriate I am asking you dummy” I demanded
He just smirked and stared at me for several moments
“Hello…. earth to Jack!” I shouted
“Sorry…. Right…. Kiss” he said “I… uh…am not very good at this so… “
“God damn it just shut up and kiss me!” I said insistently
He stepped in and kissed me his lips were soft and warm, this shot of electricity went through my body from head to my toes almost like I was longing for this. I could feel myself getting wet my heart beginning to race. He broke away and suddenly I sense of loss came over me…… I wanted more…… No, I *needed* more. I grabbed his face and pulled his head towards me and kissed him passionately he mumbled something, but I couldn’t understand what he was trying to say and frankly I didn’t care. He was an amazing kisser for someone who had very little experience I. Eventually I released myself from him and asked
“Your place?”
