I’d been talking to this guy on snapchat for a few weeks. Let’s call him Liam. We had messaged back and forth throughout that time about our sexual likes and dislikes. We kept running into scheduling issues when it came to meeting up, but finally Liam’s roommates were out of town for the weekend and he invited me over.
When I arrived, he led me through the living room and into the kitchen. He offered me a drink. I said yes. He poured two rum and cokes. I took mine and carried it to the sofa, where I could tell he had been watching Netflix. Liam and I sat down next to each other. He asked permission before resuming an episode of “The Office,” and I was honestly so relieved that he happened to be watching one of my favorite shows.
