Don't get me wrong on the Tinder thing. Fucking that woman last week after two dates is actually unusual for me. Silly as it sounds it's not really what I'm looking for, but it happened, and we clearly had no spark between us. I genuinely like to move slower with someone I'm really interested in. This is how lame that night was. I'm a single dude, new in town without many friends, she was young and cute, and I'd rather jerk off than fuck her again. She was into me, too. She started drinking wine from the time I got to her house in Berkeley at 8 p.m. and didn't stop until 1 A.M. and she was just offputting and weird.
Tinder I've found isn't quite as much the "hook up" site as its reputation is, there's obviously a lot of that on there, but a lot of women have profiles saying "looking for relationship, no hookups," etc. Now whether they mean it or not is another question. The woman I ended up having sex with had a completely blank profile with a couple of obvious "come fuck me" pictures, so there really wasn't any illusion of what she wanted.
Mind you I'm completely new to the west coast so I've been, if nothing else, trying to sort of fend off loneliness by dating, which isn't a bad thing. The woman I keep talking about is literally the only person I knew here, but I've already managed to make a handful of minor guy friends too.
I actually I am looking for a long term relationship / eventual marriage type of thing.
Clearly if I enter into some solid relationship with another woman, coming over at 10 PM and having beers isn't gonna fly, it'd have to be a little "friendlier" than that. I think for the moment we're both sort of itching a scratch since neither of us have anyone.
