I met a guy last weekend so we're texting. And I ran into an old friends with benefits guy and we decided to pick things up again. So I have some things cooking again in the world of romance. This makes me happy given that I know my ex is dating. I've had enough of abstinence at this stage - it's been since Feb. The last time I had a date was in June. The last time I kissed a man was in June, and the last time I slept with a man was Feb. I feel ready to venture out just a little bit. The guy I am texting with is a mathematician and has dreadlocks. He seems cool so far, but we shall see. I have my alerts up for any red flags.
