30 days

 

 

After the EH episode I didn’t fancy much dating so I took it easy… it also made me think about the sort of guys I was seeing and ended up upping the age a bit and avoiding students and anyone who sounded like having a date to leave the UK. At least that was my intention.

So during a whole month I did not have sex once. I did chat with a few people and have had a couple of dates though, with LO and a “newcomer”.

The new guy is someone I met through gaydar, he’s 21 (yep I know, not any older but I knew him from before…) and Korean-American, I’ll call him DK. We had been chatting quite often on MSN but he was back in sunny CA after finishing his uni term. We even had a friend in common: TL. Although I must admit this is starting to happen way too often…

He came to London with his father on his way to Africa and we had dinner the day he arrived. We had great conversation despite his jet lag but had to leave early to get some rest. Then he was off for a couple of weeks.

On his return we met again. He joined me to watch a strange 70’s gay movie that my ex had organised. Unfortunately, he had to leave after the movie but we agreed to meet the next day. I texted him later saying my friends had asked me where my boyfriend was. He replied he would only be so lucky…

On Friday he couldn’t go out clubbing as planned as his flight was in the morning so I took TL’s advice and invited him over for some home cooked dinner.

We had a great evening, we got on very well and chatted and chatted for ages slowly getting more cosy on the sofa. He planned to catch the last train of the night but when we noticed the time at midnight I suggested he could always just catch one in the morning… he took up the offer quickly.

The whole time he was very shy, never taking the first step on anything, and since I’m not the fast kind progress was slow… finally we decided it was time for bed.

We laid down on the bed talking and slowly got closer and closer. I finally ended up half way on him, and when for a few moments he closed his eyes, I kissed him. From there everything else followed, slowly kissing and undressing each other until there was nothing between us…

We finally went to sleep at almost 3am, barely 3 hours until the first train… I would have loved to spend a lazy morning in bed, waking up cuddled to each other. But that will need to wait till he comes back in just over a month’s time. He had a train to catch and a father waiting for him in his hotel room.

I can’t wait to see him again. During the evening I could see him making a great boyfriend but the fact that he will live outside London is a bit of an obstacle.

There is something a bit spooky about him though. There are quite a few similarities with H! He does have a similar look (as TL pointed out), both love books, both studied something related, they both like vintage clothes shops and have a particular taste for the same unusual piece of clothing, they’re only one year of age apart and even their voices seem similar…
