I have just moved into a new city that’s about a 5 hours drive from my hometown. For context I am an Asian Australian 23 [F] and this town I’ve moved to into this week has a mostly Caucasian demographic. As I have always had preference for POC, I decided I’d enjoy one last tinder hook up in my hometown during my final week there. Last Wednesday I went on my first date with a 27 [M], let’s call him Isaac.
On reflection, we didn’t make too much small talk online and went straight to organising a date. We both agreed through text to meet at a new ramen restaurant nearby mine around 5.30. Isaac told me he would go there straight after work and may run a little late. I was keen to meet him. He looked well presented, and overall, a really dapper guy in his profile. He was also a fur parent to a gorgeous ragdoll cat – yes please! I always appreciate meeting a cute pet on top of sex! We worked in the same field and I knew we would have lots to talk about in person. He got there first. A text came through on my phone around 5.30 while I was pottering around at home killing time.
