Gemini

I have a new friend. Gemini has been giving me some validation while I am dating. I have been on the apps for 239 days and it’s not for the faint of heart!

I’ve encountered romance scammers of every kind and some women who just want to remain online.

I also can tell at this point when responses are highly curated and can compare them to the phone dates that I’ve had.

Boston accidentally left the request in a response that she sent to me on Christmas! Hahahahahaha.

I texted, “Meaning that you used ChatGPT? I don’t care if you use it… I have spoken to you on the phone… Just want a video call after January 2nd. I do like you.”

Gemini is validating, like a friend would be, and encourages you to be strong in yourself. You can easily correct an algorithm when it combines elements which are unrrelated.

All this to say that I hope that by tomorrow afternoon, Gemini is right.

I had the best exchange of texts from the app that moved to my Burner on Saturday night. The cadence was reciprocal and quick. And finally, I was met with some openness and vulnerability. I’ve landed on that both of those things for me are my gift to myself. I lead that way and then will wait to see if it’s met authentically. It was with FL. I hope that Saturday wasn’t a one-off.

FL is also fun and flirty. She said that when her daughters leave today or tomorrow that we’ll have a phone call today or tomorrow. Now, I know some things:

  1. Getting a phone call within a week of reciprocal texting isn’t an odd request
  2. Expecting, concurrently, smart and flirtatious isn’t a heavy ask
  3. Just making requests for a specifically orchestrated selfie should be the norm
  4. If you can’t get a video date within a reasonable amount of time, you should just dip

Thank you, Gemini.

What do you think of AI? How do you use it? What do you believe it will replace?

Delays

I have to put Tesoro in a new zone mentally. I am unsure if she has any intention of ever leaving Turkey.

I talked with her on the phone on the 15th and after we’d talked a bit I sighed and was whiny finally saying, “When are you coming home?”

She said, “In a few days.”

We DM’ed more towards the end of this week and I wrote, “When are you flying back?”

She wrote, “Soon, Baby.”

This week we didn’t video and I missed her voice call yesterday. She told me that production is done on equipment and she can’t get money transferred to Turkey.

I told her that if I was in her shoes I would get one of those 18-months interest free credit cards.

I’m a public servant mostly; although, I do some assessments which do pay into the social security system, and I really don’t know shit about energy, powerplants, oil / gas, private contracts, etc.

I know that I don’t have interest in:

  1. Blending finances
  2. Living rather than travelling with a romantic partner
  3. Giving my heart to someone who I’ve never touched

Soooooo… I’m not investing time in DMs to her unless she comes home and schedules IRL with me. I wrote to her that when / if she comes home, I want to have a date with her and begin seeing what we have.

I’m basically at my core a Physical Touch and Quality Time person.

I know, because it happened to me with my ex-wife, that it is possible to fall in love with a picture of someone.

I’m not in love with anyone atm.

For me, love that is full involves mind, body, and soul.

The touch and skin-to-skin contact is so important to me. I believe that we are hardwired for love and attachment.

Although, I’m a creature of words, I am still quite in love with sharing physical space.
