While in a rough patch with my tinder guy, I figured āwhat the hey, Imma do me. Imma go back on Tinder.ā Iāll admit it, Iāve caught the bug. Iām constantly craving new and exciting, especially since there are so many delicious fish in this sea. Thereās salmon, halibut, sea bass, grouper, swordfishā¦who wants to be stuck eating Cod every day? So on I went, looking for a little slice of mahi-mahi.
Almost immediately, I match with JJ. JJ is a year younger than me, but Iām feeling frisky and give the olā cougar thing a try. (Who AM I?) Anyway, JJ is funny, quick, charming, and most importantly, a member of Soho House soā¦challenge: accepted. I bring my A game. Kiddos, JJ is not only all of the above, but heās also a gentlemen in the fact that he told me heād CALL me on his way home from work the next day. No reason, just to chat. 50% of me starts ācooā-ing at his adorableness, and 50% of me FREAKS THE FUCK OUT BECAUSE A PHONE CALL? WITH A STRANGER? HOLD ON LEMME GO BREAK MY PHONE SPEAKER REAL QUICK.
(Side note ā Tinder message next morning from JJ reads: āWhat are you doing today? Come to Buenos Aires with me.ā Which, to any regular human, would be a joke, but after extensive googling *cough stalking cough* I found out his family is worth billions so Iām like āWHAT.ā No, we didnāt go to Argentina, but the story continuesā¦.)
I end up taking the phone call, and itās as good of a call as you can expect from two people who know literally next to nothing about each otherā¦or why they are even on the phone with each other. But, we make plans for a date, and he wants to take me to dinner and a movie that weekend. Score. I win!
Date time rolls around, and JJ is a man. Tall, buff in all the right places, scruffy, just a tall drink of āyes pleaseā. I wonder why I havenāt cougarāed before ā this is a breeze. Our conversation is good, not great, but not bad!! Iām happy with good and settle with good.
At the end of the night, JJ drives me back home and we, like, totally make-out in his car. God, I love making-out. Isnāt kissing fun? Hi boyz ;)
JJ texts me the next day and weāre chatting casually. I knew heād text. How could he forget me, the mature, older, irresistible woman? And then all of a sudden, itās mid-conversationā¦.
