Romance with NSA

This could be the most peculiar type of relationship you have seen yet. Out of all the polyamory, polygamy, Bigamy and what not, This relationship with a guy I met on Insta seems to be simply for Romance. I realized that my craving was for romance, more than sex. He is someone whom I see no future with. Long Distant thing. I am sure he would be sleeping around. But to flirt with each other and send pics of what you are up to, talking about what we would "do" when we meet (when we very well know that's not happening) is pretty funny an affair.

I don't know how it started, with my awkwardness in flirting, it turns out when the relationship is NSA, I get damn excited. There was no need for a commitment (although I can;t concentrate on too many guys at a time), There was no tension about the "future". We don't know if it'll even last. But we simply play like kids, saying things to each other, romantically.

May be that is what I missed the most in any relationship that I have had. Calling someone "baby", being cute to each other, asking which shirt is better to get, talking about the places we would want to visit (hypothetically). It actually sounds sad and desperate as I write it, but its much better this way for me. I tease him as a "playboy" and he gets mad. Those compliments he gives me about my eyes or lips, how he likes my voice, how he likes that I am hyper at times. I missed this feeling.

There are other things I don't miss. The mandatory "hang outs" or "Spending time". Since I know that this isn't going any further, the pressure to impress or be impressed is off. I can very well be cheesy or corny and I know I wouldn't be judged. May be he is a secret of mine, and I am his. When Kelly told me about this when we were dating, I couldn't digest it. It seemed wrong. May be now, it seems low maintenance.

Best thing is how he is completely okay with switching to "friendship" mode, and he values me as a friend, more than anything else. Two friends who romance with each other, may be the new age "friends with platonic benefits". I would say that this is nothing but an experiment. I don't know if it'll even work out in the future. May be one of us could get entangled in it, one of us could get bored of the other, but right now, I still tread safe. Until I find someone, or he does or until we get bored of each other, the romantic self in me, is very much happy.

End of a time

It's been so long since I wrote. But then when I see people read my blog, and say how much they relate. It compels me to write more. I thought that I don't have much to write anymore. Same old issues, same old stories. I even didn't want to write thinking that the issues I mentioned would probably dilute the matter with too many posts. But then I write today because something recently struck me hard. A conversation with a love interest who is looking for a partner, realized that I talked a lot about my previous love .Which I didn't know was so obvious. But I clearly didn't move on. After may be discussing for a whole hour, he asked if I am looking for a lover or a partner? Because you don't have much time until you spend time loving someone who may never be your partner. That's when I realized that I for all these years, haven't had a proper romance, and I am already out of that age. I am old enough to settle down and look for a partner, instead of ...

Walk of Shame

usually walk of shame happens when you have had sex with a total stranger, and you just regret to have done that while getting back home in the morning. But, to me it was different. Some few months back, I met this guy, he was really smart. well behaved and very talented. Mind you, I didn't meet him on any apps, but for work. Everytime he comes to work, he gives special attention to me, while other men "see", he "watches" me. While other man just touch, he "feels" me. He used to openly make it clear that he is there to see me and me only. I used to feel so special. But I never had the guts to reciprocate. Partly because the reputation he has for being a player. he is extremely smart, very soft spoken and has that charm. Girls fall for him so easy. I used act like I don't like him, but all my peers started noticing the attention I get from him. He talks only to me, the way he looks at me, how closely he stands, how he gets pissed if I have a figh...

Hope in Hopelessness

It wasn't the first time I have lost hope and wont be the last. We are all familiar with those days when you kinda know that you might not find someone whom you can call your partner. To me, those days have become frequent. There were days when miraculously I find someone whom I would be interested in, but those days have become less frequent. Whatever may it be, being spoiled by those whom I was romantically involved with, I had to set my hopes high. Sometimes, that gives me the hope that still pushes me through. Gay relationships are hard to find, a decent guy amongst the them is almost impossible. Fake men are around the world. Assholes crowd our community, but the minute you find the right guy, its all worth it. The way a gay man can be romantic and the things I have heard guys have done for each other when they date is just amazing. I have heard those stories, and love to hear them more. How they miraculously met out of all the other guys with all the paradoxes aside. How t...
