Your on travel buddy. 7 days in Croatia mid August. I can't wait. It's a beach holiday this time. Staying at a great hotel just outside Split. I have to work during the day (remote working - one of the new normals too come out of this covid madness) so am planning on exploring in the evening. I've got a weekend there so will try and do a couple of day tours too. The travel buddy app would be great wouldn't it. I think that's all I want right now. Someone to explore places with, occasionally go and watch a movie, visit a gallery. That's not asking much is it ?!?!?
Yes, I agree, flexing the flirting muscles without setting expectations is much easier in a bar than on an app. I don't know about women, but with men, as soon as the banter becomes in any way hints of flirtation, then men immediately want to change the tone - and it either becomes sexting or full on commitment. Neither of which I'm interested in. I just like playing with words.
In any case, that's my story, and this is your thread so I will not harp on my (lack) of dates.
I am not sure I have ever meditated on my sexuality. We have been writing to each other a while now, and as big a part of you as being gay (I'm sorry if that's not the right term) is, I don't ever think oh, Yail, yep - she's the gay one. I think, Yail, the thoughtful lives a little in her head Italian who loves baking and blankets, who wants to travel and see the world and who fell head over heels in love when she is young and is now just learning who she is without someone to define her. Jeez she's strong. That's the Yail I have gotten to know.
So, as the world returns to normality, I hope you get to flex those flirting muscles again. I hope that you learn to open up again and let someone in. And whoever they are, I hope they deserve you.
