The Bachelor

In this side of the world, the temperature has dropped dramatically and it has been tougher to leave the house to go clubbing. So recently, I had found myself more interested in staying in than going out. But, there was one problem, I needed to get laid. Recognizing my options (or the lack of it) I decided to play the online game, again.

It seemed to be a very slow night - a lot of the guys online were either oldies, bears, fatties or just plain uninteresting. The nice ones must be out partying and I, I was too lazy to get my ass off the couch, dress up and commute to the city. I was about to call it a night when a note arrived and it said:

"Hi, if it is not too late I would like to meet up. I am 34 . Thanks, John"

I rarely go for older guys but there was a picture.

"Jackpot!", I whispered.

Against my grain, I called. He answered. He sounded good.

"Hi, this is Tristan."

"John here...", he replied.

"So what's up?", I asked.

"Well my wife is out of town... "

As soon as I heard this, my eyes rolled. Naman eh! But, I played along. Masarap eh.

"Can you travel?", I asked.

"Yeah. I know the place. I'll be there in thirty."

"Sounds good... see you in a bit", I replied.

And so I did quick clean - a decent scrub; a dab here; a gargle; and a quick hair fix. I looked polished but not too polished. It was just right. A few minutes later, he was at my door. An hour later, the deed was done. And then we got to talk. Yes, he had a wife. They have no kids, yet.

"So what do you do?", I asked.

"Well, I own a company engaged in (insert construction material). My wife is with (insert name of company)... "

I was a little impressed - he was, after all, just 34!

"And you said you travel a lot? Domestic?", I asked.

"Yeah - from one state to another. But it's okay... I own a plane.", he said quite matter-of-factly.

I almost fell off my red couch.

I waited for bullshit - it never came. He was actually serious. And then he told me about the business; his travels, his family and finally, he requested that I keep mum about the whole thing. Does "being mum" translate to "not blogging about it"? Fine print, sorry.

Anyway, this one seems to be a very good catch - hunky, smart, educated, hot and a-ultimate performer - all in all, the perfect bachelor sans the wife.

So yes, I agreed to meet up with him again.
