I’ve almost never had a one night stand because I’m usually not super outgoing and don’t generally enjoy the whole bar scene, but right when I moved to a new city, just a little after graduating from college, after I hadn’t had sex in about a year, I felt like I wanted to buckle down and make something happen for myself. Try something new. Be someone new. I was playing soccer in an intramural league back then, and after the games that Friday afternoon, a bunch of players headed out to the same bar to blow off steam and talk about their weekend plans. Being so new to the city, I was looking at another pretty low-key weekend.
Just as I sat down to drink my first beer with a few of my teammates, I noticed a lovely woman across the bar sitting with a few of her own teammates. She had long blonde hair, a cute smile, and pale blue eyes that were looking right at me. Normally that would be my cue to look away shyly, do nothing, and then jerk off later that night, imagining what could have been. But this time I held her gaze and smiled back.
