Last night I went to Scorpio’s and her oldest daughter was there too. I have been sick and missed two days of work–I did teach on Tuesday night, but had to let the doctoral students out an hour early–so I made chicken soup. If I wasn’t dating anyone who lived here I’d have had to eat it alone because my son plays D&D with his friends on Wednesdays. I am not contagious anymore, and will work today because I haven’t had a fever in over 36-hours. Last night was fun with Scorpio and her daughter.

We three ate a big pot of chicken soup and they both loved it. I told her that I’m glad that she doesn’t cook because I like my cooking and am controlling in the kitchen. I also said that in romantic partnerships that it’s better if there is only one cook.

We have a cadence now, which is so cool. We hang out together in the middle of the week–I cook–and then we have a weekend overnight. At the moment, we’re only seeing each other.

She takes up all of my bandwidth.

An example is that when we had our third in person date and were in the mountains, we had a dinner at a wine bar and split a bottle of wine. Because I don’t really drink I was loaded. We walked back to our hotel and I left my cell phone at the restaurant. I got it the next day.

This past Saturday she and I went to a patio bar near a lake and she had two glasses of Prosecco and I didn’t drink. We had her sweet dog with us. We walked the lake and she asked that we sit down and look at the water. We held each other snuggled, talked and kissed a little bit on a bench looking at the lake. I didn’t even realize that I took my cell out of my back pocket. I left it on the bench. We were 3/4 back to the starting point of our walk when I realized it. I didn’t remember putting it on the bench. (It’s ok, because I got it back by speaking Spanish with the guy who picked it up and ran it back to me; although, this incident took over an hour.)

Scorpio takes up all of my bandwidth.

I’m not going to space out my cell phone a third time.

I didn’t connect with Seattle this week and she sent me a long text. I told her that we’d meet when it makes sense.

I think that my Matchmaker will be reaching out to me next month.

This morning, I am thinking that June would be a better time for me to go out on some dates.

Scorpio had a few comets recently and I don’t think that any of them are active at the moment. My assumption is that when she goes to Burner events–not the full Labor Day in the dessert–she’ll connect romantically and maybe intimately with whoever.

I have been thinking about when we’re at a music festival camping in May and what that will be like for both of us. I’m willing to let things just take shape there when we’re together. If the situation was right, I would be willing for us to connect with a woman together.

I did something adjacent in 2008 or 2009 at my house when I had a party with an eclectic group of women. It was fun. At the time I was totally solo. I haven’t done things like that when I’ve had a girlfriend.

Last night she brought up my Matchmaker and I told her that I’ve been wanting a travel partner for years now, so I thought that was the only way that I’d get one. She said something about the universe knowing my intentions. That blew me away so I read her what my Matchmaker wrote when she sent me my match (Ph.D.) and I told her that I had an in person date with a 5′ 9″ Scorpio that Friday.

“I love it! That happens a lot when clients start working with us. I like to think it’s the universe knowing that you’re ready and sending you possibilities!”

Scorpio is my girlfriend and feels like an anchor partner. I want to be as open as I can be for other connections.
