Scored

Finally after a dry spell since May last year, I ventured to sleep with a guy last night under the encouragement of my friend on a different continent.  Just get the sex over with.  I never did it with a stranger.  This guy I got was off of the internet, an Indian who worked a number of years in New York before coming to Hong Kong.  I've never been with an Indian before, so now I've checked off the list of different nationalities and races, except for Chinese, my own race, which I would really like to have more experience with.

He came by and I could see he was quite a gym bluff, muscular and quite good looking.  We talked about 10 minutes before I suggested that we just dive right into it.  It feels nice to have sex (yes, I admit I have higher needs than most others I know). He was kind and we chatted afterwards about work life etc.  A decent guy. Smart.  And happens to live two buildings away from me.  He said that's what most of the city is looking for anyway, and it is hard to find that partner in bars when you can hardly hear most of what the other person is saying and the guys are just waiting for the girls to get drunk. A lot of times that comes unsuccessfully.  True.  Why not just start with sex and get it over with?

My day seemed more perked up because of a short 30 minutes last night.  I think I'd like to do more of it.  No strings attached.  There are quite a few interesting people that started chatting with me on okcupid.  I can take my pick.  Get to know what I want.  I had lunch with a reporter in my space at the Foreign Correspondents' Club.  She's relatively new in Hong Kong, having grown up and worked in the US before.  She talked about her past relationships but said that most people she meets in Hong Kong are married or dating someone.  She hopes to meet someone organically but it is harder to meet someone that way.  I agree.  Need to get out of the box.  This inventive way to meet may just work.
