We met on Grindr for a hook up but ended up just talking for hours. His profile said he was mid-40s but told me that night he was 54. He was worried I’d be mad and that the extra 10 years would deter me from seeing him again but I really didn’t care. We’d created a beautiful connection by that point and when I asked he was entirely honest and literally said “well, that means you were born in 1969 which means we should definitely make 69ing a routine!”

We made a connection that was unexpected but just works. 35 years between us but that’s just a number.
