Casual Sex Was Never For Me: A Case Study
I Called An Audible And My End Zone Became The Red Zone
Years ago when I was online dating, I mean yeeeears ago, when it was just OkCupid and Plenty of Fish and they were still websites you perused on your laptop, I matched with a guy named Brad.
Brad was very hot. He was a tall athletic white guy with brown hair and blue eyes and a great physique. He could have been a stand in for Channing Tatum, no joke. I wasn’t feeling particularly confident about my looks those days so when Brad matched me and then sent me a message, I was both excited and in a slight state of disbelief.
Before you say it, no, Brad was not a catfish, but I understand you going there since that’s what happened the last time I matched with someone I felt was out of my league. You can read that one here, it’s a fun one.
Brad seemed exceptionally nice for how hot he was. It probably didn’t hurt that I had opened our conversation with a question about the current 49ers roster. He was wearing a 49ers hat in his profile pic and I happen to be a huge Niner fan myself, so it was an easy conversation starter that got me an invite to come watch the playoffs at his house.
