Step 1

I totally jumped back into the world of dating. And you know what? I love it like crazy! It feels like I'm back in college which I totally loved and idk why I've been so nervous!! But yeah, story time!

Ok, so I usually post about everyone else, and I'll dish a little, but today's stories are mostly about me, because I'm in a special place right now and I want to.

So, last week, I, Chloe, got on Tinder. Something I was like, adamantly opposed to. I'm not so totally into the hookup culture... at least in theory. But I was lonely! And pitiful! And not very Chloe. And I wanted people to text. I'm a texting fiend and without Cameron there, it was like every work day was 30 hours long. And I think maybe my coworkers were getting tired of me stopping by their cubes every 30 minutes. So something had to give, and why not my standards, right?

And I was totally prepped for all these creepers to appear and have to unmatch constantly. And it's so not what happened! I very specifically put in my profile I was looking for texting buddies only. I mean, let them weed me out rather than vice versa. But these guys who responded? Nice guys! I mean, I got the creepers too. But only like 3 out of 20, I consider that a success.

And now I'm talking to 4 very nice guys. And I'm not so bored! So, yay! I may even try to meet one or two later this week. Because you have to push forward with life, amirite?

Also, yesterday I went out to a nice little happy hour with 2 of my church ladies, and our old music director, Ryan. Ryan and I have been friends for a while and always a little flirty... lots of texting back and forth, but never anything deep, whatevs. But yeah, I've had a thing for him for a few months.  Anyways, we all got done eating and drinking, the night was still young, so I invited Ryan back to my place for a nightcap, and he came! We drank and played my oldschool Nintendo for a while, then he suggested we put on a movie. So we picked something incredibly stupid and cuddled up on the couch. And I just said screw it and started kissing him, and got some great feedback... we both had some aggression to get out, and we had some fun releasing it! Needless to say, he was there til about 4am. Not a bad way to get over a breakup! I haven't figured him out yet though, so I'm not sure where this is headed, but I'm down for FWB in the meantime.

Monday is paintball day, I can't wait to cause a few bruises (and get a few of my own!).
