What Happened:
I was in the airport coming back from a work trip and for whatever fucking reason, I decided to open Tinder and respond back to a guy from MA. Seemed cute enough. Flight was delayed. Had time to kill. Fuck it.
We kept messaging. And then we shifted to text pretty quickly and by the time I boarded my flight I had creeped his instagram back to 2011.
We talked on the phone the next night for almost 4 hours and made plans for an actual date. Thing was, Omar couldn’t wait that long so while he was in Boston, he stopped by my area and we met up at the beach. (Just want to say that yes, I went to the beach alone at night but there were people and it was well-lit.)
I had about 20 minutes to get ready so I put on my 90s aunt best. Biker shorts, crop top, and denim jacket and just hoped for the best. I beat him slightly and didn’t notice that he parked next to me. That was a good thing because apparently, he peed behind his car. (My dad peed on the side of the road on his second date with my mom. This doesn’t phase me.)
There was a weird instant connection with Omar. Both of us felt oddly comfortable with the other. It’s not that we necessarily had a ton in common, we really didn’t, but there was good banter.
Omar lived in Peabody with his uncle and was saving to buy a house. Worked in IT, went to trade school (no debt), loved sports, was in the middle of a weight loss journey (love a thick guy who doesn’t know he’s cute), and very outgoing.
Going in, I didn’t know what he was going to think. We had talked about types and his was 5’2″, petite blonde. I’m a 5’8″ thick bitch sooooo bit different. We went to cross the street to get to the water and I caught him checking out my ass. We were in business.
We made out here and there and held hands. We were both physical touch people so that was nice. It just felt so good to have an arm around me and be able to be affectionate back.
He walked me to my car and we sucked face for quite some time. Basement got flooded. But, I was excited to see him again and that was something different.
