i smile fondly as i recall this.
the sun has gone down in medellin and sitting with me is qbaby. a supercute 24 year old colombian hipster with long shiny brown hair. we're on a busy rooftop patio getting to know each other.
shes leaning in, listening intently as I explain a story about my friend kate:
as i tell this, i see her eyes gleaming - signs of a good start. a couple of minutes later, i bring up a perspective on meeting new people:
now she bursts with excitement. i know what shes thinking. she gives me 2 subtle verbal IOIs right after. one of which is her apologizing for sometimes speaking rough english. shes doing great, and i let her know.
after some more talk discussing the difference between fulfilling and unfulfilling relationships, she wants to grab a drink at another bar. we head there and on the way she confesses to me about a negative life-changing experience she had recently. i get her to recall the emotions and manage them with empathy.
at the new bar i find us huddled outside again, this time our legs firmly pressed together. slow colombian rhythms thump from the speakers inside, setting a vibe i quite like. from here, i continue to focus on deep diving her past and add in OTHERing to make her feel more connected to me.
later when i directly ask her what her biggest dream is, she needs a second to think about it, but returns the question.....so i explain the fantasy of extreme intelligence. amidst a shocked-impressed look from her, i continue and talk about the fantasy of indulgence. she becomes overwhelmed by my description of easement, especially when i contrast with a "grab life by the horns" statement.. her eyes get wide and she exclaims:
soon after the moments start to pass a little more tenderly as she wonders out loud if its fate that we met. we get lost in each others eyes longer than usual and i escalate the vibe. what are we gonna do about this between us, hmm? she nudges the conversation back to social frame after and i chuckle in my head.
i seed the pull with music, and we leave the bar to walk back to my place. on the way there I stress the importance of nonjudgement, privacy and anonymity. we move on to flirt cultures and she starts to giggle and get more feminine. by the time we're close to seclusion, the topic has turned towards what it feels like to get closer to someone.
sitting on my couch together, I get her to show me her tattoos, which leads to cheek and neck kisses between us. when I slowly bring my lips closer to hers, she starts leaning in as well. our lips almost meet but i pull away slowly - a tease that causes her to jump on me and start kissing me passionately.
that night, we become lovers. the memory is one i will cherish forever

shes leaning in, listening intently as I explain a story about my friend kate:
i got a call the other night from my friend kate... and shes crying. i was like, oh dear. she told me she had a really bad night out at the bar. there were guys groping her, touching her all night, it was such a shame. she wanted to experience the joy of a new connection, but these guys didn't even bother getting to know her...they just made her feel like a piece of meat. then when she tried to walk home, some creep started following her. and thats when she broke down and called me to ask, can you walk me home? of course ill walk you home kate!
as i tell this, i see her eyes gleaming - signs of a good start. a couple of minutes later, i bring up a perspective on meeting new people:
have you ever noticed how the experience of meeting new people can go in completely different ways? sometimes you meet people, and it's really boring. You have these dull, forgettable experiences with them. On the other hand, sometimes you meet a person and it goes really well. you really connect with them because they have such an interesting perspective.
now she bursts with excitement. i know what shes thinking. she gives me 2 subtle verbal IOIs right after. one of which is her apologizing for sometimes speaking rough english. shes doing great, and i let her know.
