The Final Gasp of My First Decade of Online Dating
My 2023 Dating Recap — Part 5
When Palmer finally agreed to get my car from valet so I could leave, I checked my phone for the first time in a few hours. I’d been waiting for confirmation about something important. Sure enough, I had an e-mail from my dad giving me an update.
Believe it or not, there are things I don’t share here in Mediumland. There are parts of my life that remain private out of respect for close family members and friends.
But yes, at the moment I was getting dumped, I received a very upsetting personal update.
When I got home, I had the double-whammy of dealing with my pain regarding Palmer AND the other personal matter.
But I didn’t end up feeling alone that night. Someone…the most unexpected someone…kept me company.
The tennis stud, Andy, who brushed me off earlier in September!
I don’t know how to define what we’re doing, what our relationship is. And frankly, I don’t care!
I’ve made an exception for him over the past several months and remain okay with the gray of our situation.
We’re attracted to each other. Duh! How could I not be attracted to him? Michaelangelo could have sculpted him!
