When Ty asked me out on a date, it felt like I had been invited to the popular kids’ table. He was thirty-six and he was a real New Yorker. Ty was tall and broad-shouldered. He had the kind of skin where you could tell he probably had freckles on his shoulders.
Ty was wonderful on that first date. Held the door open for me, pulled out my chair. We skipped small talk and shared our thoughts on art and culture. He worked some kind of generic nine-to-five job but was an aspiring novelist. I considered myself an aspiring artist as well, and we impressed each other by declaring our dreams and pitying the mundanity of other people’s lives. As we talked, his eye contact felt like a wave of heat. It overwhelmed me.
After dinner, we kissed on the sidewalk, he put me in a cab, and I floated home. He texted me for the next few days, and we made plans to see each other again soon. For our second date, we had dinner at a restaurant near his place, and after dinner, he said he had a gift for me. Could I come upstairs so he could give it to me? I felt a twinge of warning in my gut, but I ignored it—he didn’tthreatening or shady in any way, and if you had been there, you would have agreed. Plus, I didn’t want to insult his friendly invitation by making him think I perceived a threat. So, I went upstairs. It’s okay; hehave an actual gift.
The kissing escalated to some fooling around. I let him take some of my clothes off and I let myself be touched. He felt me between my legs, and I shyly pushed him away, but he could feel my arousal. He smiled and got a condom from his nightstand. He took off his pants and started putting the condom on—an obvious signal for sex—which I didI said it clearly. But he merely smiled, as if he knew better, as if my vagina’s wetness was more telling than the words coming out of my mouth.
