That First Night...The Beginning

Considering I had only met a few guys from online before, and those did not go well, I was shocked that I was even entertaining the idea that one of the responses I got to this first ad of mine was about to meet me right away. He was right – I got a LOT of responses from my ad. But very few that actually met what it was I explicitly said I was looking for. Most started off with “I know I am older/younger than what you originally requested” or “ I know you said you liked a) but I know you want b)”. All I kept thinking to myself was … NO! I was completely open and honest for once to exactly what it was I wanted… you will not persuade me. Until, YES! One response came that did require me to suspend what I was asking for. Of course, my first reaction was that it had to be “too good to be true.” But as we kept emailing back and forth for at least a couple of hours, I realized – not only was he in it to win it – but also – he was willing to at least play the game I was requesting. He was willing to just end a dry spell that had gone longer than I had ever gone at that time (I have gone longer since – but that is an aside). He was willing to just have fun with it, with no major expectations, and with the idea that we just were out to have fun. So, on that fateful night…I set out for Charles Village from the suburbs, completely unsure what to expect, but filled with anticipation knowing my adventure was at LEAST just beginning . . .over 5 years ago now…
