...Another Casual Date Night...

Anonymous Wanton Tigress #132 · General

I'm a nurse in my thirties, dating casually without any exclusivity yet. Last night was another date with a guy I met online... It wasn't the most exciting evening; we went to dinner and then took a long walk at the park... but as the evening wound down, he made his move... We ended up back at his place for some after-hours fun... I don't know if it's just because of my job or what, but there was this moment where I couldn't help but think about how sterile everything seemed compared to when I'm in the hospital... Funny, right? It's like all the romance vanished into a sterile room with white walls and antiseptic smells... Anyway, we did it... He was gentle, respectful... But something felt off. Maybe it was just exhaustion from a long week at work... Or maybe because I just don't feel that spark yet... Either way, nothing earth-shattering happened. I'm not sure what to do next. Do I give this guy another shot? Should I move on and see someone else? Sometimes, being single feels like the best option... But other times, it's hard to shake off those lonely nights...
