Alright, it’s finally time for me to share this story. It’s a little long, but I promise I’m not going to make you wait as long as he made me wait for the good stuff.
I met a man at a bar when I was in my early 20s through a mutual friend. I was in law school at the time so I didn’t have a ton of space for dating, but I got his number and we hung out a few times in group settings. We had some palpable sexual tension and periodically flirted, but nothing ever came to fruition because I was in my final semester and couldn’t really handle the distraction. A couple of times he tried to make a move, but I always had to get up early to study or was just too exhausted to even consider the proposal. I caught glimpses of his disappointment but didn’t think much of it.
