A really awesome date, by Rock

So on Sunday night I had a bit of an unconventional date planned. It went really well though. Surprisingly well.

I went over to their place after work, which was conveniently about a block and a half away. We had drinks and talked for a bit before watching Tangled. The energy was there, and by the end of the movie we were cuddling. Soon after clothes came off and we headed to the bedroom for an incredible time. I was told, "Of course you'll stay and cuddle, right?" I was offered an extra toothbrush and to see if their extra phone charger would fit my phone (it did! win!). Just a really fantastic night all around where I really felt a connection. Before I left in the morning, plans were made to hang out again very soon.

Well if you haven't caught on that I'm using a plural pronoun yet... the date was with a couple.

I met one of them on grindr earlier in the week, and after hitting it off he admitted that he had a relationship of two years and they were looking to open it up. They wanted someone they could be friends with, they didn't just want an anonymous person to come in and drop trou. Everything they said while talking to both of them convinced me that they were going about it in the absolute best possible way. We made plans for Sunday night and you just heard the rest.

They were such a great couple, it was great to be a part of it for a while. Their affection for each other was contagious. Opening up a relationship isn't something I think I could do personally, but they took such great care of each other during the "exploration" that I'm glad it works for them, because honestly it was a really fun, hot night. I'm looking forward to having two new friends, and if we happen to fool around again, that's okay too. But really that's just icing.

Other updates:

Still haven't heard back from Faux Spaniard. I almost feel like writing again expressing my sadness that he doesn't want to be friends. Not to try and change his mind, but to get across that I really did want that.

Haven't heard from Scrubs since our mutual night out.

Charlie and I continue to text about once a day and are hanging out tomorrow.

Was out with Doris last night at a gay bar and had a great time. Gay men seem to find her fabulous. A cute guy came over and hit on me last night, which is rare. He was cute enough and was doing everything right, talking to Doris and me instead of just me, etc etc, and did get my phone number, but then this guy I know from college came over who was kind of being a dramatic downer and this new guy kind of got in a diva-off with him, which wasn't the most attractive thing. If he asks I'll still get coffee with him though, because in all honestly the guy from college was being kind of annoying.

When 3 Is Not a Crowd, by Rock

Last night I went out with some coworkers and I ran into EE#3 and his current boyfriend. Not a big deal; I've hung out with them before and actually really like them as a couple. He's also the ex that it is easiest to be friends with because it was the least amount of emotional investment on my part.

The two of them quickly joined our group. What was supposed to be a quick drink or two before getting to bed reasonably early turned into a bender. When the bar we were at closed, we headed to another. Close to 4a, the three of us announced we were going to drive to a casino. Outside the bar, we quickly realized that none of us should drive, so we went back to my place to smoke up and watch tv instead.

At this point I think we all knew what was going to happen.

On the couch, it went EE#3, the New Kid, and me. The New Kid's hand was on my leg. My arm was behind the New Kid's head so my hand was resting on EE#3's shoulder. When one of us would go to the bathroom, the other two would cuddle.

EE#3 was getting a little nervous. He kept talking about wanting to get back to their dog. The New Kid wasn't going anywhere though and EE#3 was clearly intrigued as well. Eventually I just climbed into bed and told them they were welcome to stay the night, but I was getting tired. They had a soft conversation about where they were going to sleep: on the couch, on the floor, in the bed. I said there was plenty of room for all of us in the bed, and we got in there in the same order.

Yada yada yada it was a really fun night.

What? You want details? Pervs. This is a dating blog, not a sex blog. Haha.

I only bring it up* because even during all of it, their love and attraction to each other was evident and so attractive. I wouldn't have slept with either of them separately, but they were so attractive as a couple.

I want to have that again someday with someone. It just feels so impossible to find. Definitely need a bit of a break from looking for it, at least so aggressively.

Texted them both this morning how I had fun, hope they got home safely, and hoped things wouldn't be awkward. Looks like we're all a-okay.

Now if I can just get it to happen again with them. That was fun. I needed the win. :)

*I lied. I also bring it up to brag a little.
