Hi! I’m Cindy. This is a true story about what happened between me and a guy I met online last spring. I know it’s very long but that’s because I like to write these stories to keep my memories for safe keeping. I hope it’s not boring to read and I thank you in advance for being so patient with me!
I met Nathan online after I responded to one of his posts. Nathan was fairly local to me, which is somewhat unusual because I live in a small town and his town is pretty much just down the road. I’m divorced in my early 30s and at that particular time I was happy to be free of distracting, needy men. I put my energy into my career and my social life was mostly just chatting with guys on my phone late at night from under my downy covers, just before bed. To be honest, most of the time I fell asleep very disappointed and frustrated. I never messaged guys who lived anywhere even remotely near me just because I found it boring and not really part of the fantasy! For a little while I had a friend from Australia and another friend from Europe, but these kinds of friends tend to fizzle out pretty fast when the fun stuff wears off and personalities become part of the equation. I don’t know if that makes sense but that’s my experience with online “dating” for the most part. I have an old ex boyfriend that I would hook up with from time to time after my divorce but that was around the time I really started souring on his attitude too and it’s been ages now since we connected even in text. At work I’m all professional. I’ve only ever had one fling at work but that was a long time ago even before I started college.
