I’m kinda okay with what’s happening now. I just noticed a bit of a decrease in frequency, and I think part of it is some of the newness has just worn off a bit. (We started talking at the end of June, so we’ve been communicating for three plus months even though we’ve only been dating since mid August.)

We’ve talked on the phone twice, sorta had phone dates. I like those so I might suggest another one. I just always worry that I’m coming on strong or doing too much so I try to sit back and see if he’ll initiate the texting. If that makes sense?

Aw dammit Kare. That makes me pissed on your behalf. Take care kid.

Is it weird to ask for advice in the general category? Like, people who have done the long distance thing where you only see each other once or twice a month – what would be considered a good amount of communication? Like, Tinder teacher and I still text everyday, but it’s gotten kinda minimal – very short convo, because I think it’s just easier to talk in person. Does that make sense? Like, what does everyone think a “normal” amount of talking is? Is there a normal? Just curious

I got the HPV vaccine when I was 25 because I was still a virgin, it was paid for by insurance, and my mom had just been diagnosed with cervical cancer (which can be caused by HPV). Cannot recommend it highly enough.

@Kare that’s really awful. I’m sorry you’re dealing with so many douches.

@LadyE sounds like great progress!

@ktfran yay for coming out! lol

Yes, Tinder Teacher and I FINALLY got to see each other again this weekend! He showed up around 3ish on Saturday (after my flight got in super late Friday night and then my parents stopped by unexpectedly for lunch on Saturday. Oy vey.)

It was just so nice to see him! And he was so excited to see my new house. He demanded a full tour and even climbed up into the attic to see it lol. I had gone grocery shopping that morning because he had long ago mentioned maybe making lasagna together so I grabbed ingredients for that and some wine and beer. We might have made a beeline for the bed after the home tour (just keeping it real) and he mentioned dressing to go out to eat and I offered up the home cooked meal (my intention was to cook for him) and he jumped at that! But then he walked into the kitchen and started grabbing ingredients from the fridge and pantry and I told him that I meant to cook for him and he said “oh no, let me do this for you.”
A genuine Italian made me lasagna. And it was so goooooood. And I told him I really didn’t mean for him to drive all the way down and have to cook his own dinner and he said “oh no, when i tell this story it’s not gonna be ‘she made me cook dinner’ it’s gonna be “SHE LET ME COOK DINNER!'” Because he LOVES to cook. So I kept him company while he cooked and kept the wine glasses full.

So we spent the night in drinking wine and eating lasagna and watching movies and fun bedroom time. Yesterday morning we woke up and the man MADE ME BREAKFAST. Seriously. I might marry him just for that. I was in charge of coffee. Done. So we laid around more and just enjoyed one anothers company and then showered up and he let me take him out to lunch at one of my favorite sports bars so he could see some of the Bears game. He of course loved his burger and bloody mary 🙂 We drove around my town for a quick tour and came back to my house. Watched another movie and snuggled. Enjoyed a little more bedroom time and then he had to go home 🙁

All in all, another really great weekend/date. Do we still call it a date if it lasts more than 24 hours? He kept saying how glad he was that he came down and how much he enjoyed it. So it’s my turn to go up there!

God I love a good make out session.

My first boyfriend was a decent kisser. He got worse as time went on. Second guy sucked at kissing, way too timid. Third guy was actually really good kisser but that didn’t last long. Most recent ex was a very good kisser and complimented me on my kissing as well (pat on the back). I briefly dated a really bad kisser earlier this year which led to really bad sex and the only person I actually regret sleeping with because I felt like I had to. (different story for a different day.)

Tinder teacher is a good kisser. Very into making out as well, which makes me happy. He’s good at other things but I’ll leave that to your imagination.

Everyone deserves good kisses.

@ktfran we went to the Hotel Nauvoo when I went up there for my birthday dinner! It’s such a cute little town and the food was amazing but we pre drank because the Mormons charge a shit ton for wine lol.

Thank you! I’m at work for about 30 more minutes then I go to the first closing!!
