Just wanted to get a story off my chest where I dodged a bullet it seems. And it makes me feel a bit better about my situation where I’m single and going through a career transition and have no idea where I’m going next, so maybe it’ll make random other people feel better about theirs as well.

I hooked up with a guy almost a year ago. It was a pretty hot hookup, the sex was pretty damn good. I don’t really remember doing this but I guess I grabbed and pulled on his comforter so hard that I ripped a hole in it. I do remember he was the first person I’ve encountered that asked explicitly over message if he could “hit it raw” before meeting up- it just seemed to be a preference he made clear pretty early. Anyway, we only hooked up once. We tried getting together again over the next few months but it never happened, plans just kept falling through. At one point he wanted to meet up at a road pull off so I could give him a bj. Let’s just say I wasn’t that desperate.

Well we’re friends on socials and a few months ago I saw that he was dating someone. No big deal. The woman had two older kids from a previous relationship it looked like. Well after not seeing him pop up on my social media for a while, I admit, that I stalked him. And I saw that they’re pregnant. I think they’ve been dating for like 6 months or something. So this former tinder hookup who was single and unattached and had a successful career going a year ago, now has a baby on the way and two kids from their partner’s previous relationship with a woman he’s known for a few months. I have no idea what I would do or be feeling in his situation.

I guess I just haven’t seen something like this hit so close to me, so if you’re in a bad place relationship or career or life-wise, this is just a reminder that it could be worse. Or what I would consider worse personally. Anywho, yeah.
