Apparently these extra sexual encounters appear in a series of three. Meet Darrell.
He was cute, tall, and British. He jumped right into a friendly text convo.
Only problem was he was traveling for work and didn’t live in Seattle. He was heading back to the UK, and I hadn’t noticed at first in his profile. He asked if I was around that evening, but when I think of a travelling man, I think of a one night stand. I hadn’t responded because I wasn’t sure if I was up for it - I had a pre-wedding party to attend.
I went to the Garage on Capitol Hill, a bar that had bowling and pool. My friend was hosting a party the night before her wedding. I didn’t know very many people, and was surrounded by couples and love. I felt compelled to talk to Darrell.
Darrell was with a coworker at the Unicorn, a loud and colorful bar not too far from where I was. It was convenient enough for me to swing by and say “hello” and get some attention from a cute boy, then head home. I had a video project to work on before the next morning, so I should have given myself a curfew. Should have.
He introduced me to his coworker and immediately got me a drink. We chatted for a bit about his work, and his visit. He was about to head to Vegas for a work conference as well. His friend disappeared - we weren’t sure where he went, given alcohol consumption was already high. It didn’t take long before Darrell and I were two teenagers sliding into first base by the pinball machine.
We decided we needed a venue change.
Given my project deadline, I felt it was easier for me to exit a guy’s hotel room than to kick him out of my house, so we went to his hotel; Pineapple Hotel. It’s a hotel covered in Pineapples in downtown.
So this is what it feels like to go back to a guy’s hotel room who was just visiting for work? Clean sheets, sterile environment - and in this case, covered in bright black and yellow (black and yellow) pineapples.
Darrell was great - the minimal conversation we had was nice, and if he lived in Seattle, I probably would have wanted to see him again. Given he was leaving in two days back to the UK, we had to make the one night count, with all the pineapples. It was roughly 2am before I headed home.
The next day we texted a bit - it helps to not have it feel like a complete one night stand, only that it was.
At least we continued to exchange pleasantries.

Reactivated my tinder bc I’m ready to date/get laid so I’m just swiping right on any attractive guy.
10Hi legit ask for ladies!
What do you find interesting in a tinder msg? Do corny pick up lines really do that well? What’s the best kinda msg? Often I hear saying a simple “ hi howre you” is bad. So i really dont get what to do :o

The way this is put is just fucking weird. Like… everyone wants those things in a relationship, dude. Do you really need to write that out instead of putting anything about yourself?
And the whole “as more than a casual sex partner”, like a relationship with him is suuuuuch a prize. Idk. Seemed smarmy

1. “Special pictures” can be paid for in money and/or emotional support and fulfillment.
2. Treat a woman first and foremost like a person. If she wants to f**k you she will. It that simple.
4Some may know him as “Sex on a Sunday” - I say he’s reliable and dependable. Every message is consistent.
So why reply? Because the stories are great, and his responses are ridiculous.
Did I take us women back fifty years by finally meeting up with Chris? Maybe. I knew what I was getting into - not a relationship. I know it is a dent for womankind to give into this style of conversation, how do these guys get away with it? Because sometimes it works.
Women and Men alike have to do the dance of getting to know each other, whether it be for a relationship or physical activity. A guy like Chris? Increases efficiency - I see it as getting time back really. Yes sometimes the vulgarity makes me cringe, the arrogance makes me roll my eyes - but after that, what you see is what you get and in that moment: I was picking up what he was putting down.
I just spent $8 on my own margarita, and $15 on beers on the second date of the Sunday - the bar was low, and the need for something good was high.
After I left Adam at the bar, I messaged Chris. He came over later that night, and again 17 minutes later - then he left. If I were to leave a customer review on Amazon:
“True to size and color, matches packaging. Fair value - may not last as long, but does the trick. Not suitable for all consumers - but if you know what you’re looking for, it’s a good deal. Made in America, but at a “Made in China” price - would buy again”
I’m not proud, but I’m not ashamed. I’m fulfilled - at least for those 17 minutes.
