All my roads to Philadelphia seem to lead to Independence Hall—this trip was no different. Well, except for the fact that I had a bullet to strike off the old bucket list: complete a random internet (read: Reddit) stranger hook-up.
Note: there’s lots of extra prose because I’m feeling nostalgic. Scroll down for action.
By the time I made it into the city, I thought I was doomed to once again put off this quest since no one was catching my eye, but then it happened. A little orange envelope popped into view with someone who actually read through and followed the requests in my post! And he sounded sexually responsible and compatible to boot—a cautious gal’s dream come true.
We ended up migrating over to kik where we talked over safety and pictures were exchanged (oh he is a cutie!). I could hardly believe my luck and was climbing up the walls of my hotel when he said he’d be half an hour to get to our agreed upon meeting place (La Colombe, that coffee haven). I ended up settling my nerves at the hotel bar with a gulped down glass of prosecco before stomping out into the crisp evening air.
