I was in my late twenties and just out of a very long relationship, to the point where I’d never dated as an adult. Complicating this was the fact that during that time dating apps became the dominant mode of meeting up. I consider myself average looking, standing at 5’9” with a fit build from soccer but for someone never big on social media, it felt like the worst way to try to get laid, but loneliness and horniness and a desire to prove something to myself got the better of me, and so I scrounged together a few decent pictures to make a profile and jump in.
It took a few days of bots and conversations that started promising but went nowhere before I matched with Nina. She was a senior at the local college, pretty and short and curvy with a shock of curly hair that was dyed a couple different colors. Her nose was pierced and she had a few visible tattoos.
