So, after my friend convinced me to actually consider maybe dating again, I have, at a snail's pace. On OKC (which is a cesspool, but I personally hate Bumble, so whatever), a girl messaged me on Thursday. I responded, and she left her number.
We talked on the phone today for four hours, then met up tonight for dinner. Immediate attraction. Immediate openness -- I could, and did, tell this girl everything; she did too. We were commiserating about dying grandpas and exes. We had dinner, walked around the waterfront, had some dessert. All the while, we're making out in public because I give zero fucks about what other people think. (It's very Jaime Lannister "we're the only two people in the world that matter," but it played off so well.) That extended into a Ferris wheel. We paused to listen to some songs from Hamilton, then sat on a park bench and looked at some of her modeling shots and pictures of her dog.
The chemistry was through the roof. Nothing was forced. In comparison with my ex, this was a breath of fresh air. And she's kind. Second date agreed to on both ends, though we have to figure out where and when. I know she's dating other people, and she should be; I don't know if I'll do the same. I'm not actively pursuing things, but I wouldn't turn down a date with someone else either. If it doesn't work out, I'm fine with it.
