Here I am now, single in my mid-30s in a life that could actually be described as quite successful with respect to career, education and experiences. Nevertheless, I'm single and the company I can have bores me out, because the same games are always played, the outcome of which is usually unsatisfactory for me. I guess I'm one of those people who took a wrong turn somewhere along the path of life without knowing exactly when and where it actually happened.
Lately I've been discovering hotel bars, not least in the hope of a classic conquest, but also because they are usually pleasantly stylish and often not so crowded. In addition, there are few groups there and you don't feel like a loner if you sit there alone to enjoy the atmosphere while having a few too many drinks.
Apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way, because every Thursday evening the same woman sat at the end of the long counter and drank martinis like in a James Bond movie. You could probably best describe her as a classic beauty, dark straight hair, shoulder length, narrow face, fair skin with little make-up necessary. She always wore a dark business outfit, white blouse, no pushup and an elegant skirt that didn't emphasize the hips.
She always just sat there and drank, no cell phone, no book, no small talk with the staff and no other guests would ever come towards her. I'm sure she was used to being looked at and was probably aware that I'd been admiring her from afar for weeks. In my thoughts she became more and more aloof and my initial plans to talk to her seemed increasingly impossible to me, until one Thursday when she suddenly seemed to notice my presence.
I can't even say what changed, or whether nothing changed at all. In any case, she looked at me for the first time from her seat when the bartender called me over to the counter to pay my bill. It was like she was looking right through me, just a look without any gestures. I can't even say for how long this lasted. All I know is that for this period I had no interaction with the bartender. I just stood there looking back. It wasn't the first testing look a woman had ever given me, but I'd never felt so naked watching her, see right through every layer I implemented in myself to hide the real me. Staring at the real me, seeing things that even I wouldn't know about myself. Then suddenly, without any judgment or gesture, she averted her gaze and I just stood there, not knowing what I should make out of the situation. Thank god the bartender didn't show any signs of noticing. I forced myself back into reality, quickly decided to forget that embarrassing moment and left the bar without another glance at her.
What followed was a series of more of these looks, each getting more intense. The worst happened when I was on the way to the restrooms...I felt that look again. The question as to whether I should return the look didn't arise at all, I was captivated in her eyes. My motoric skills were completely lost when I tried to walk casually and in a relaxed manner. "Is the current step the same length as the last one? Am I moving my arms far enough, or am I moving them too far?" Internally I felt like I was staggering like a drunkard, when she finally looked away and released me from her hypnotizing gaze.
This went on for a few weeks until she suddenly started to no longer notice my presence. So far these looks had only unsettled me and I tried to mentally prepare myself better every Thursday, to deliver a less pathetic performance. At this point I had long since given up all hope of ending up with this woman, but she continued to fascinate me. However, I didn't expect how much I wanted to be noticed by her now that she was ignoring me.
Every Thursday without her eyes on me was torture and I wondered what I could have done wrong, apart from my rather obvious weakness towards her. Looking back, I have to say that at this point I was no longer able to clearly assess the situation and everything from then on was already set in stone. Nor did I reflect on the sexual desire that her ignorance towards my presence triggered inside of me. Or that perhaps she gave me those looks consciously from the start to serve a specific goal. At least that's what I like to think, because we'd never had a real conversation and I probably wouldn't be able to have one to this very day. I guess I just want to convince myself that I had some meaning to her.
After every evening of torturous ignorance to my rather obvious presence, I masturbated myself to sleep and my orgasms were more intense than ever before without pornography or fantasy of a sexual act in mind, just based on the desire for her attention. But masturbating couldn't satisfy my desire, something else inside me longed for her touch.
