This week, I hit my six month-iversary with my girlfriend Audrey! It’s really exciting to reach this milestone, and see our actual time together starting to reflect how long it feels like it’s been. It feels like I’ve known her and loved her for a long time, which is probably related to how accelerated things… Continue reading This is a story of labels, overthinking, and just letting go.
This is a story about having a lot of partners. Like, A LOT.
It’s time for a poly partner roundup! We’ll be starting with the one and only Romeo. Things with Romeo have been really solid for a couple of months now—not perfect, because no relationship is perfect—but so much better than it has been in the past. Despite my shift from hierarchical polyamory to non-hierarchical, Romeo continues… Continue reading This is a story about having a lot of partners. Like, A LOT.
This is the story of a very confusing puzzle.
In my last post, I declared the winner of the Turtle Race, which was the (hopefully) humorous way I was describing my search for a new partner, also known as Project Butterflies. The winner was Luca, previously known as Turtle #10, and I declared him the winner after our date on Friday night (two nights… Continue reading This is the story of a very confusing puzzle.
This is the story of unearthing an evil plot.
My mind is a wild place. As Olivia Rodrigo sings, “I’ve got panic rooms inside my head.” I’ve also got hidden compartments, trap doors, and a handful of delightful characters. I don’t actually have multiple personalities (dissociative identity disorder), so don’t take that too literally. But I do have inner voices, plural. This is the… Continue reading This is the story of unearthing an evil plot.
This is a story about a turtle race.
SO. Here’s how Project Butterflies is going, in a word: slowly. I have connected with perhaps twenty different men (and one non-binary person), and have had decent conversations with about a dozen of them. I’ve been on dates with three, have dates planned with two more, and have “started” to plan dates with two (meaning… Continue reading This is a story about a turtle race.
This is a story about a guy who actually cares.
I don’t know about you, but I love a good redemption arc. I’ve been thinking lately that I should start a new callout series that’s basically the opposite of the Bottom of the Barrel guys that I write about in some of my posts. I reserve membership to that special club for guys who truly… Continue reading This is a story about a guy who actually cares.
This is a story about following my intuition.
Oooooh boy, readers, do I have some piping hot tea for you today! I went on my date with Adrian. It was actually quite nice and a lot of fun. We got some dessert, sat and talked for a bit, then went to an arcade, then sat and talked some more. There was plenty of… Continue reading This is a story about following my intuition.
This is the story of an enigma.
Candidate three in my “Project Butterflies” search is a guy I’m calling Adrian. Adrian is, at the time of this writing, a bit of an enigma. Honestly, I feel a bit bad even writing this post, because I really don’t know how this one is going to pan out. I could end up having a… Continue reading This is the story of an enigma.
This is a story of an elaborate date redemption.
In my first round of contenders for “Project Butterflies,” I have already written about Casey, who started strong but quickly belly-flopped. The next contender I would like to share about is a guy I’ll be calling Enzo. Enzo has also been off to a fantastic start. He’s been very communicative, open, and honest, and he’s… Continue reading This is a story of an elaborate date redemption.
This is a story of color-changing flags.
Last night, I booty-called someone for the first time. The lucky recipient of this badge of honor was a new guy I’ve just started “dating,” Casey. I wrote about him in my last post, literally last night, before said booty-call. To review, Casey has basically been a walking green flag since our first interaction. He’s… Continue reading This is a story of color-changing flags.
