The Ivy League

So… AM #1 is gone.  I woke up the next morning filled with a new spirit.  I am not going to let him ruin this experiment!  Onward and upward! 
Friday I decided to write to two guys who “winked” me.  People told me to ignore winks – if the guy couldn’t be bothered to spend credits on me then forget him.  But there was something about each profile that caught my eye.  They both wrote right back, shared more about themselves.  
The Professor
“Scot” sent me a brief message and the “key” to unlock his photos on the site.  There were four photos!  He says he’s 6′ 2″ 195 pounds and in his late 40’s, a professor who went to Yale!  Wow!  He’s got a great smile, graying, fit… I wrote back and asked a few questions.  I didn’t hear back from him right away but it is common to not hear over a weekend.  
The Lawyer

“Tom” wrote to say he’s a lawyer in downtown Boston.  His profile lists him as tall 6″2, and thin 200 pounds, in his 50s.  Hmmm…. I had a hunch and told him in a cagey way that I worked for a large law firm but have been gone 10 years and not kept in touch and don’t work with lawyers now, but he might have known me as the demure lady down the hall if he worked there (and I added something that only a person who worked at my prior employer would know).  
He wrote back saying “sounds like you might have worked at the same place??  if so, no worries– I will admit to having worked there, but it was long, long ago (think late 70s!!) and I seriously doubt whether our paths have crossed.   even so, I can keep a secret….and if you were that demure lady, I probably fantasized about you anyway!!”  That probably means he went to Harvard (as they had not started their affirmative action plan – letting in Yalies and other Ivy League law schools) until about the time I arrived in the mid 80s.  
Two Ivy Leaguers right off the bat.  Wow!   Who knew smart men would find me?!  Woot!

==============================

My fourth day on vacation.  My fourth chance to sip coffee in a cafe before my wife wakes up, and watch people.  Every morning there’s a beautiful older woman at the red door across the way.  She doesn’t knock… she waits.  Eventually the door swings open… not revealing who is inside.  Each day, I make up a different story about her, who she is seeing and why… a maid, a governess, a paramour?  My imagination runs wild.  
Today she’s late.  She fidgets… shows off her beautiful ass!  I’m riveted.  She sits on the stoop… pulls her knees up… quite a show!   The men at the next table comment in Spanish – words I don’t know but they aren’t kind. 
She finally strolls over the cafe.  The owner hands her a steaming cup.  She plunks down in the chair opposite me.  
“Tourista?” She asks.  Ugh.  
“Si,” I nod and wink, feeling bold.  
“Hilton?” she fishes for my lodging.  I shake my head, pointing West, naming a small bed & breakfast place near the beach about 10 blocks away.  She smiles.  I am enchanted. 
She points up the hill in the other direction.  “Mi casa,” she whispers.  She rises and takes my hand.

Q. Could it be so easy to find a nice guy?  Would the very first guy who contacted me be the one? 
A. No.  I was an idiot.  After I told him I couldn’t meet Friday, he stopped writing mid-day Wednesday.

On Thursday when he still had not written, I fell apart.  I know… it’s silly.  But he seemed so fun and interested and I need that so badly.  

Our boss took us out to a fancy hotel restaurant for a celebration lunch for a successful conference, and I sat there watching well-dressed couples… you know the thing… how can they be together and I am good person and I am so alone?  Ugh.  I had to go to the bathroom and cry.  I had heard that men write to a lot of women and just go silent when they find someone they like better.  *sigh
I wrote a thinly disguised “Good bye and good luck” message Thursday evening and didn’t get an answer and gave up.  I was very close to closing my account.  Who needs this new roller coaster?

AM #1 Kevin's Questions


I started to hear from men!  If you missed that part, click to read that first.

Let’s call the third man “AM #1” because he was the first, and because he had the best approach I’ve ever seen!

I wrote back to him.  He stood out because his profile didn’t use the “check boxes” for what he was looking for or what he’s like.  He wrote nice paragraphs!  I had my chat buddies look at his profile to check for any danger signs and they approved.  I felt a real spark!  He had a great sense of humor, was open and smart!  And he made me laugh!  
He told me to call him “Kevin.”  Sometimes that is a real first name, sometimes a persona they’ve chosen.  It doesn’t matter to me.  I told him I wanted to stick with Sassy and he was fine with that.  
Kevin sent me six questions, explaining he’d had great success with it as a compatibility test.   They got me thinking.  It’s so hard to choose one answer, but I ran with it. 
Kevin’s Questions
1) What are you looking for from me as a potential lover? In other words, what fantasies can I help you fulfill?

2) If you were stranded on an island with a satellite radio that only got one genre of music, what would you pick?

3) What is your favorite feature on a man?

4) Pub or nightclub?

5) If you had two magic tickets to any event, concert or show in history, where would you take me?

6) What passions do you have?
=============
Sassy’s Answers
Your questions certainly got me thinking.  Nothing like starting off a Monday with sunshine and sexual fantasies!  

1) Sassy’s Six – Equality.  Passion.  Pleasure.  Variety.  Communication.  Fun!  

If I must name one thing – I’d like to see and feel you explode on me.  I’ve never seen it… it’s always inside me somewhere!  I will help get you to that point, of course.  
  
I want an equal partner who will try things with me, and let me try things, then share what felt good and what didn’t and how to make it better.  I want different things on different days – sometimes slow and gentle savoring, other days… wham!  It’s been quite awhile for me, so the basics are very alluring.  But I read a lot, and look at…ahem…a certain kind of photos and videos that have given me a long list of things I want to see if they feel good.  

2) Broadway show tunes – varied, evocative of their time, and I can sing along!  

3) Shoulders. 

4) Pub on a weeknight and nightclub on a special occasion.

5) The Ed Sullivan Show the night the Beatles debuted.  

6) The demure lady is into a fabulous community project in her “spare time.”  And finding that hidden gem – a cheap, fast and good new restaurant.  

Sassy adores poking around inside a man’s head, and scours the internet to find that hot sexy photo or .gif or video to give him something to… think about, and make him look forward to being alone with her.  Have you seen the photo of the woman looking stern?  The caption reads, “I found the porn on your computer.  We should try that!”  😉  Would it weird you out if I sent you some favorites?  

I’d like to know your answers to those questions.  And three other things: 

a. How old you were when you lost your virginity?

b. Is there something about you women find surprising?

c. Your perfect meal for a special occasion

=============
Kevin replied:
He started with, “Hooray!  Absolutely loved your message this morning. You’re a keeper – a inimitable combination of sexual excitement, energy and ability to articulate thoughts in real sentences.  I shouldn’t tell you this and keep you to myself, but that’s a one of a kind” then added his answers to the questions and answers to the questions I asked in return. 
Answers from Kevin

And if that wasn’t enough, you would take me to the first Beatles night on Ed Sullivan. If I could return the favor, I’d take you to a Beatles show at the Cavern Club in Hamburg, Germany in the early sixties before they hit the big time. Imagine the raw energy of the Beatles and the sexual charge of a night with wild Europeans in the early 1960’s!  But I’m getting ahead of myself. That was question 5. Here are my answers in our compatibility test:
1) You couldn’t have more eloquently stated what I am seeking sexually. My wife has lost all interest in sex. I haven’t. The basics are as alluring as an oasis in a desert, but so are the luxuries. Explode on you? How much fun would that be to get to the point and have you moaning for me to do it. Yum. I feel literally ready just imagining it as I type.  Photos and videos that you pick to seduce me? Please, please, please, please, please – send them:)
2) Broadway? Good choice. I love musicals – Avenue Q, Rent, Drowsy Chaperone (it’s super corny, but dang it, I love it!). But my remote island pick would have to be rock for its variety. If you were a stickler and limited me to one subgenre of rock, I’d adopt a ‘tude and pick blues instead:)
3) Smile. I melt for them. Sexy, sweet, sly. Yum. How would you describe yours?
4) Pub. Pubs are for talking. I like to chat and laugh.
5) See above.

6) Playing adult sports – volleyball, running, tennis, etc..  Also microbrews. And I’m a book nerd.
============
He answered my questions on another email: 
And now your final three questions:
a. How old you were when you lost your virginity?

18. First month of college after a long term high school girlfriend who thought dry humping was the bees knees.

b. Is there something about you women find surprising?


I don’t know if this counts as surprising, but I find women are way more interesting then men once you become a real adult. Women still enjoy talking about a variety of topics. Men want to talk about business and golf. At least that’s how it is in the dang suburbs. I should have stayed living in the city.

c. Your perfect meal for a special occasion

On Maui eating outside with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean, eating Ono, fresh pineapple and drinking a microbrew from Kona Brwing Company while staring at the beautifully tanned smile of the woman across from me.

Hope my answers hold your interest:)

Your fantasy man,.

Kevin

===========
He is smart, funny and sexy… doesn’t go on about work or sports.  He is 49 and lives about an hour out of Boston.  I managed not to talk about Philip or my blog or whine about my weight!  You would’ve been proud of me!  
My head filled with images of smiling, touching, stealing kisses… groping!  And sometimes… MORE!
The fantasies roiled my brain and sometimes my body.

So the emails sailed back and forth Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. He asked to meet Friday.  I told him not this weekend due to the project, but anytime after Saturday. I started to hope.  Could it be this easy?

Good morning! I ate mango yogurt for breakfast. Watch out world! Have a wonderful Wednesday kid!

Have you seen this? It’s a 2-minute parody of a Korean video. Fun to see the students act out!

Hearing from MEN!

I lost my bet that no man would contact me!  It took less than 24 hours after I signed up!

Many of the women in chat have tried Ashley Madison at one point or another, and told tales of getting 800 emails the first day and being overwhelmed but then getting to pick exactly what they thought they wanted and being lavished with attention.  I knew it would not be like that when I listed my weight (even fudging downward by 20 pounds).  
I had no idea how I would choose.  I’ve never chosen a man in my life!  They always approached me, mostly online, one at a time, years between offers.  What would happen if I got contacted by more than one man?  How could I tell anything from a profile?

So on the first day I checked the “viewed me” list and 47 men looked at my profile!  I checked the “Messages” area – 5 “winked”at me (the free way to say “I see you there and would like to talk”) and I got 3 messages (which cost money).  Of the three messages, 
  • one was canned and boring – I don’t think he looked at my profile, 
  • one was awful “text speak” “Hey How R U Babe? Wanna chat?” and 
  • one had potential.  

Now what?
