I had been to the bookstore many times and had a lot of fun going there. I knew I would continue to go there but since I had moved to Jackson it was less frequent. I also knew that I was wanting a little bit more out of this side of my life. I wanted to try to meet someone to hook up with occasionally. I wasn't quite sure how to do this, but I knew if there was a way, it would have to be on the Internet. I started searching the Internet and looking for ways to meet men. I found a couple of dating sites specifically geared towards gays and or alternative lifestyles. I created my free accounts and started browsing through the listings. After a few weeks I still had no interested people. That's when I stumbled upon Yahoo chat.
I'd heard of Yahoo chat of course, but had never tried it. I found a reference to a Yahoo chat room for gay men. I decided to try it and downloaded Yahoo chat. After installing it and choosing a screen name I immediately logged into the gay chat room. I chatted in the general gay chat room for little while with no luck. Then I realized that you could create your own room. I found a listing of private rooms and started looking. I found a room entitled " Mississppi gay men". I entered, and realized there were several hundred people chatting in this room. Jackpot!
I sat back and watched the chat progress for a period of time before I tried typing anything in the room. I was still very nervous even though I knew no one knew who I was. I started out by saying hello to everyone. I had never been in chat before and I wasn't sure what I should say. As I watched the chat scroll by I noticed that some people would just type in a city name. I realized that this was to see if there was anyone in the room from that area. I decided to go ahead and type Jackson.
At first no one answered. I waited about 10 minutes, typed Jackson again, and waited again. After about the third time with no one answering I was getting frustrated. I decided to just let the chat program run and listen in on the conversations. I did this for several days before I felt comfortable enough to join the actual chat. But once I did join the chat I realized that most of the people in the room were very nice. They all accepted me as a member of the room and included me in all the conversations. I was really beginning to enjoy myself.
After several weeks I realized that I could fill out a profile and even attach pictured if I wanted to. I filled out the personal profile but did not feel comfortable posting a picture. I started to browse through the profiles of everyone in the room. I found several people whose profile sparked my interest. I decided to try to chat them up. The first couple I tried to chat with never responded when I sent my IM. But eventually I did get a response from one person. We chatted for about 20 minutes and added each other to our buddy list.
After a few weeks of running into my friend in the chat room on a daily basis I decided to be bold and ask him if he ever met someone from the chat room. He said that he had never done that but had wanted to on a couple of occasions. I knew from reading his profile that he was pretty much a top and that fit in with what I was looking for. I decided to be even bolder and asked him straight up if he would consider meeting me. He said he thought he would but we lived so far apart. He knew I lived in the Jackson area and he told me that he lived near Oxford. It was a couple hour drive between the two.
I told not to worry about the distance because I often traveled to the northern part of the state. When I traveled up their I would usually stay overnight in a hotel. If he really wanted to meet with me the next time I went up north I would make sure I got a hotel room near his town. He agreed and asked when the next time I would be up in his area would be. I told him I could make the arrangements for a trip in as little as a week or for whenever he was available.
We decided that I would get a hotel room in Batesville in two weeks. I immediately booked a room and let him know what hotel I would be at. He recognized the hotel and he told me that we could meet at the Burger King which was right next door. That way we would be meeting in a public place and if either one of us felt uncomfortable we could call it off at that point. I agreed with that plan and was really excited about meeting him.
Over the next two weeks we chatted almost daily and always ended our chat talking about how much we could not wait to get together. I was constantly in the state of arousal just thinking about having a man in a hotel room all to myself. I spent those two weeks getting what I felt I needed to take with me. I purchased an enema bag, a box of condoms and a bottle of lube.
On the day we were supposed to meet I left early and drove to Batesville. I arrived in Batesville at about 12:30 PM. I got a quick lunch and checked into the hotel at 1:15 PM. As soon as I got to the room I went into the bathroom and started to prepare. I gave myself a very thorough enema and took a shower. Jack was set to arrive at about 3:30 PM. By 2:30 PM I was sitting on the hotel bed in my shorts and a tee shirt watching TV. It seemed that every 5 minutes I would look at the clock and thought time was moving awfully slow.
