Relationships ARE Different Now
The First Time
"I've been with a guy before." Even as I said it, I felt the mood change. We were just about to pull into a gas station and get some gas in North St. Louis. We had been talking about experiences we have had in the past and just getting to know one another better. The day had been going great and I kind of felt like I might have just dropped a bigger bomb than I expected on the girl that seemed to be as adventurous as me up to the point when I uttered those words. Before I heard myself say it, I felt like we had a serious connection and that I literally found a woman that nothing I said or did, would be too surprising for her. I was wrong.
I got out and pumped the gas and I could just tell that I had triggered something in her that had even taken her by surprise. I was trying to think fast as I pumped the gas about how I could downplay it and maybe even lie and tell her I made it up. I decided to just be honest and see how it went. After all, she had some pretty crazy experiences too and maybe she was just letting it soak in.
I jumped back in my truck after I was done and she was very serious and looking out her side window. I asked if she was alright and she turned toward me and broke a piece of my heart for what would be the first of many times to come. "I don't think I can be with you. I honestly don't think I can be with a guy who isn't straight." Well that hurt. I reassured her that I was not gay but that I simply liked some guys and that my ideal situation would always be with a woman. We talked openly and honestly all the way back to her place and I felt like maybe I wouldn't see her again if she really felt this strongly about my sexuality.
We never spoke for what seemed like an eternity. We exchanged a few text messages but I was feeling less than confident. I really enjoyed my time with her and I didn't want it to be over. She is gorgeous in more ways than I can articulate in words. She has this perfect body. I prefer taller women with some curves and she has this incredible hip to waist ratio that I have yet to find so exact in anyone else. She has long dark hair that is silky smooth and smells fantastic. Her eyes are this ever-changing shade of green that can be completely hazel one day and dark green the next. Her feet, which I adore on a woman, are the most perfect example of what a woman's feet should look like in the history of women. And here I am, on the verge of blowing it.
She comes around and finally opens up about how she has come to terms with my past but wants to know what I like about it. I simply ask her what she likes about a man. I tell her that I had always had this fantasy of watching my woman go down on another guy as she looked at me. She couldn't believe that I really wanted to see that. It became a topic of a few intense sexual encounters between her and I as the fantasy began to make more sense to her. She started to get turned on by the idea of looking at me while she was sucking another guy's cock. Until I told her one day I might just show up with a friend and see if she was actually interested or if she was just full of shit. She assumed I was joking.
