The one that got away

are there do's and don't's to consider when kicking it with somebody for the first time!?

One rule only. Try and get passed the 'first date nerves' to be yourself. That can be difficult if you really like someone and want them to like you back. But really worthwhile if a second or third dates becomes a reality.

If you just want to jump in bed with them...tell them whatever you think they want to hear, which usually involves lots of fibbing and imaginative conversation! (only joking...I know that's not your style)
 
So recently I was asked about the person I met in DC. I recall talking with another1 in San Diego about this situation he was having, as it was all falling together for him in my presence. His excitment I assume, led him to create this forum. As he was in a jolly, scream from the roof tops, kind of excited mood. Although I never let on, I was reminded of this person from DC, as I had recently began referring to them as the one that got away. As mine was running, his was coming back. I was quite happy and excited for him as I knew all to well what it feels like when you go through life always wondering "what could that have been, where was that going" and that one gets away.

So I briefly began giving description of my account at the request of someone. Realizing the existance of this thread made me consider if this was perhaps a better forum for that story. So I am going to move that stuff over here and resume the conversation from here.

See I was rather interested in what video because I do watch all the BTS vids. I never recalled mentioning in the video but there was still the possibility I did. Then you said it was the DC one which made me wonder because we met in DC. Ill tell you though I very rarely invest my interest in people more than a plutonic relationship. Should something worth while come along Im absolutly not afraid to pursue it, but unfortunatly it rarely does.

It was almost a love at first sight kind of thing, for both of us I think. Either that or an extremely intense sexualy based attrraction. Its hard to say as some of it was clouded by alcohol and heat stroke. But I will say the next day... in sobriety, when our lips met for the first time I was instantly reminded of every love song I had ever heard. I suddenly learned why they discribe passionate kisses with fireworks exploding in the backround. It was like everything out of every cheezy love story all in one.

We actually crossed paths in other cities of the tour. At other times either my professional life or my personal life to me back to DC or in the area. My decision on going to DC for 4th of July vacation might have even been a factor not to be left unconsidered.

To be honest the sex was ... well below average but the passion was more than worth it. I enjoyed absolutly every second of my time with them. My favorite part, was waking up in the middle of the night, still asleep in my arms as I breathe deeply on their neck and just slowly inhale and admire the bodily scent. Unfortunatly, its a tale that ends in heartbreak and dispare.. like most good stories do! But it is a good story to tell and perhaps I will.. just in another venue :) Until then Ill let the gender to your imagination, as its more relavant to you than I :P



Awwwww, I'm sorry Jason. When you said that spending time with them made your terrible hotel stay easier to deal with, I had hoped it worked out. At least you have the memory of that intensity, to look back on. I think there are many people that have never had that feeling.
I suppose in any situation, you win some and you lose some. As outgoing as I may be I actually rarely approach people that I’m interested in. I suppose it’s a subconscious way to avoid the pain of rejection or maybe something else. I feel if you want to talk to me then you will come talk. Unfortunately it doesn’t always play out so easily. This was one... that I approached. Probably the first in over a year. (That’s not to be confused with I never approach anyone ... only those I’m potentially interested in more than friends)

We met at the end of the night, second to last in Washington DC. I had been drinking, for my first time in months. Red Stag and Ginger Ale, a combination that’s close to heavenly. I had more than enough and the crew had already gone back to the hotel. They left me behind only moments before because something told me I just wasn’t ready to leave yet. Just before leaving to catch up with my "entourage" my attention became suddenly undivided. I sat back in a dark corner, like a lion measuring its prey and looking for the premier opportunity to pounce.

It was fortunate that this person was a bartender. Actually the least favorite bartender of Sha. That gave me an easy in. How do you approach a bartender? ORDER A DRINK. The bartender was wearing a Victoria Secret shirt that said "Let’s Get Wild" on the front. BAM easy in number 2! I go to order a drink that I neither wanted nor needed and didn’t even drink. They were out of red stag so I took a Heineken. The beer, came without charge. Although I wasn’t fully sure why, I didn’t really care. At that moment I tried what most drunkards do in a bar and started thinking of cheesy pickup lines. I came up surprisingly absent so I used the props I had to work with. I lean over the Bar and say as politely as possible " so .... Can we get wild?" Never in a million years would I expect that to have worked.. but it did like a charm.

We actually didnt get to see each other again that night. Not despite my best efforts, but someone left their phone in a car that day and wasn’t able to respond to my flood of drunk texts. The next day, we eventually connected. I made joke of how they were the worst texter ever and they explained the situation. We made plans to go out that night. Some sightseeing and perhaps a little drinking. I had spent the entire day baking in the sun and was litterly steps away from heat stroke. I could eat or drink anything and anytime I moved I just wanted to throw up. I was half recovered in time for the date. I drank water and sipped a single beer the entire night.

As I prepared in my hotel for the night ahead we were coordinating on the phone. You come here, I’ll go there we can meet at this place or that place. I was asked where I was staying and if I drove. We then decided on a local watering hole. I said "Ill grab a shower and take a cab over". As I stuck to that plan, I walk out of my hotel and you’ll never guess what comes next. Parked at the front door of the hotel is a limo, waiting for none other than Jason Matthews to take me to my eagerly awaiting date across town.

Later that night (here’s the romance part of the novel) we sat on a curb in a dark, dirty back alley smoking cigarettes and watching the biggest rats I’ve ever scene run about. There under the stars and moon surrounded by disease ridden vermin, our lips met for the first time. I immediately knew I had made the right decision.

Life was favorable to us over the next couple months and as fate would have it our paths crossed often. Sometimes intentionally sometimes coincidentally. We were together all the same. We would go to dinner at fancy restaurants and argue over who paid the bill. As the gentleman should, I always won the battle, but it was never without struggle.

Thus we find ourselves at the end of the chapter.... until next time :)
 
So, Jason, is it case of been there done that and it's in the past, or is there a chance for future meeting?

Well Im certain that our paths will cross again. Probably many times but in the future it will be much more coincidntally rather than intentionally. As far as I can predict we are still good friends, just feel differently. Im not going to waste my time kicking a dead horse, but you never know what life has instore for you. My money is on a been there done that scenario, but one can always remain hopefull.

That's the best way to look at things sometimes. No point in missing a potential opportunity because you're focused on something that probably doesn't have a future. Besides, waking up in the darkness with them in your arms, surrounded by their scent, is a really nice memory, sometimes if things go any further even the special memories become tainted.
 
oooops I accidentally copied a reply from Ms. K and pasted it into that.

your oops added to the conversation.
i didn't comment on the other thread because i didn't know what to say.
i started this thread before pride weekend and just when i was starting to let a little doubt into my thinking, i got a text message.
you saw the joy in the way i greeted the world. i was in such a gay mood that i was kissing real girls.
first meeting went well. he got me drunk, with two double doubles ( i think) and high and took me home, opened my cardoor (it doesn't open well from inside). he gave me a big hug and various fist bumps and ask it i wanted to do it again today. i said, could we do this again later in the week? i can't drink that much as he works and tries to keep me entertained. the races were fun and he help me bet for the first time and the concert were very good! from here where? i am just the author of this story, the characters are in control of the story!
relationship are like planets passing in orbit. sometimes they make close approachs or cross paths or pass by, then separate. sometimes they stay close like the moon and earth. bound by the drive to fly off and need to fall down. i guess the secret in to find that balance allows an orbit.
i am sad for having this burst of joy, for i don't know how i can share it except with words!
like the first book of a great book, there are two stories unfolding. one points to the possibility to things can begin and continue; the other points to the possiblity to things can begin and end. both are true! both carry a message! both depend not upon seeing things as they are, but rather seeing things as we are!
relationship like all creations are wired to exist and developed. if the conditions are not right or whatever, then it can neither exist or development.
only words, now i have to live them!

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that your first meeting went well and you had good time. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

i just said meet me anytime. you know where i am!
after the concerts i take you home. sounds like a standing invitation.
i think on wednesday, i will text and say, 'on my way, see you soon!'
in the back of my mind is this feeling of when does the fan meet the shit!?
or is that fear setting me up for the things begin and end theme?
he likes me and i should accept and deal with my demons.
 
i feel like a man climbing to a summit. if i succeed, then i will inspire others to strive.
if i fail, then i will inspire others to strive. win-win!

Don't you realize that you have already won!?! You met someone, you will have some fun, try new things, experience new things, learn new things. You are already better off than if you had never met this person. So now relax, stop worrying about the destination and enjoy the damned ride!
