((Sorry, I was really trying to force the tags into the title. :) ))
A couple of years ago, I traveled for work pretty regularly. I would be in a different city every couple of weeks, almost always large urban centers. And on those trips, I’d sometimes (usually) post something on the local R4R hookup subreddits, seeing if I could schedule something in advance. It was pretty low-key and low urgency for me; if I had something set up, great. If not, there was always the hotel bar, right? Some cities were fantastic for me (looking at you, Boston), while others were dry. It happens.
But this trip to New York seemed especially promising on the way out. I must have written the perfect R4R prompt (on a different account, folks, no need to hunt for it) because the responses were many and on-target. There was a buffet of options to choose from, and even after accounting for flakes and the like, it felt promising.
There was one guy, though, that I really clicked with. More than just the “yeah, I could fuck him” level, but we just…really got along. Our conversation quickly moved from Reddit PMs to Discord, and I was feeling pretty good about it. A hookup with a little more substance to it? Sign me up!
