I feel like this post should start with me singing “bored in
the house, and I’m in the house bored.” But it wasn’t me bored; it was the gay
husband… the way all good stories start. It was the end of April and it was
decided against my will that I needed to join a dating site. Mainly, in my opinion
because the gay husband wanted to judge people. But whatever his motive a
dating profile was setup.
In case anyone was wondering, dating sites haven’t changed
much. They are still filled with a million reminders that dying alone isn’t a
bad thing. That said, after a few weeks and contemplating buy cats, a guy who
didn’t send out a million warning flags messaged me. For blogging sake, we are
going to call him Barrie.
Barrie first messaged me on May 2nd, he just
started with current normal dating site first conversation “how is lockdown treating
you?” kind of thing. Unlike most, the conversation kept flowing, and about a week
later we exchanged numbers and we’ve been chatting ever since, just for the
record I am writing this on June 28th.
It’s been an interesting way to start a “relationship”, we,
until recently, have been under a strict lockdown, so meeting was out of the
question. Hell, it was against the law. So, it forced us to chat and get to
know each other more than we likely would have otherwise. We really had the opportunity
to get to know each other and figure out some of our quirks.
I will tell you guys this, he is a sweetheart. Like sickly
sweet. I am not use to it. I mean, I work in transport I am used to asshole
men, I have no defence for sweet. He also brings out a softer side in me. He is
a trained personal trainer, which has brought out some body confidence issues
in me. Like he’s perfect, why would he want wobble old me. But I know that’s a
me thing and nothing to do with him. But we will see how that plays out.
And for the record, I am aware how things ended with the
last personal trainer I dated, but that was over 10 years ago, and that guy was
just a prick, there is no comparison.
Anyways that is it for this post, I am off to message Barrie
and smile at my phone like a crazy person. But before I go I have this question
for you; Have you started talking to anyone during lockdown? Let me know in the
comments below, and, as always, stay and play safe.
Love,
The Honest Bitch
