**EVIE’S DATE**
By All These Roadworks (2020).

Evie had never had much luck in romance. She met nice guys, she dated them, she got as far as sex – and then the problems would begin. She never seemed to get very aroused. The men would think she wasn’t interested – and the truth was, she kind of wasn’t. She wasn’t asexual – she wanted sex – but her pussy just never seemed to get very wet when the time came. The men would politely back off, and the relationship would end. They clearly thought she was frigid, and Evie began to think that they were right.
Eventually, Evie’s friend Shauna, frustrated, set Evie up on a date with a man named Julius.
“Shauna, I don’t need another date with some guy,” Evie complained.
“Give this a go,” urged Shauna. “Julius is… different. If it doesn’t work, I’ll stop hassling you.”
And so Evie found herself dressed up, nervous, waiting on a stool at a cocktail bar for Shauna’s mysterious friend. She had come early, and now regretted it, as she was filled with pre-date nerves.
