Joseph 29, now 30

Dear Tinder Diary:
Joe is bored on a Saturday night when we matched. I guess I was bored too. I basically had 2hrs of sexting with someone I just matched with. I am glad I start messaging right away now. Haha.

He just moved back home a week ago from work/school abroad. He's back at his parents' and doesn't have a car. I double check that he's 29 and not 16. Shit, I really don't want to go to jail.

Fast forward to weeks of random messaging. I finally meet him on his 30th birthday. Cute in person for certain, shame he's terribly boring. I gave him a handy for his birthday just to see what I would be getting myself into.

I heard from him from time to time but I wasn't dying to see him again like I have been with other guys.
Fast forward (there's been a lot of that lately) to New Year's Eve 2015. I was with neighbours celebrating and we were well into the Veuve by now. Good ol' Joe messages me. I slept with him despite the fact he was still boring as ever but the champagne made him extra cute. He lasted about as long as the countdown 😕.

#DearTinderDiary: My one New Year's Resolution - don't have sex with boring guys no matter how cute. Lesson learned, sexting is easier to be good at than the real thing.

Seth and Summer are on a break

It was a completely unplanned night at The Senate with Pippa. I am usually the one who wants to go, and she's the voice of reason that tells me to make the boys wait!
Tonight Pippa's buzz was gone early and SHE suggested we go. It was quiet, not a lot of patrons. I scan the room as we take our seats at the bar. Of all the bars in town, of all the random nights, who do I see on a DATE with someone else?

Adam! What is MY Seth Cohen doing with a different Summer Roberts! (Google The OC).
It was super awkward even though we aren't in any sort of relationship. He never saw me, but Pippa and I spied on  the whole date. 😟 It was surreal.

I randomly messaged him during the night.  He did tell me that he was in my 'hood, but out 'with friends'. Hmm...I shouldn't even care. But of course I did, just a little.

I never brought it up. We still see each other from time to time actually. It was our 1 year anniversary from the day we met recently, haha. He'll always be my Seth Cohen 😊.

#DearTinderDiary, I have learned to not hate the player but hate the game. Besides, I would be a hypocrite if I made it a big deal.
