Chino hooked up
 

At least we were kissing and holding hands. Thanks everyone for their input. But now she received a lateral offer to move from Philly to Long Beach, and the pay is better. She hasn't accepted, but given that we're not even exclusive yet, she has little incentive to stay.

She was very, very affectionate, so I experienced the deep intimacy I've been craving for a long time. Back to the drawing board, most likely.

Congratulations at your progress.

Don't be afraid to express what it is you desire. You may not know what you desire. But if you do desire something, don't be afraid to say it. The risk is rejection, but that's always a risk when going for something.

Thanks, we talked last night and I told her I'd be sad if she left. Turns out, she hates her current work environment.
