this morning #1688.
this morning, after a whole saturday filled with flirty texting with my date from friday night, i woke up knowing that she was somewhat interested in me. it’s been a while since i’ve felt mutual connection like this. almost forgot what it felt like to flirt with genuine purpose. when i got to the bar last night still riding the high of texting with her all day long, i showed up with a much calmer attitude than usual. it was like she’d validated me & now i didn’t have to try as hard to impress these people. i drank a little bit less. didn’t feel the need to hit on anyone. no crazy bets on the game. left at a reasonable hour with my faculties mostly intact. went to bed before midnight. behaved as if she was there watching me.
