And honestly about sexuality has never been easy to come around.

what you want is to leave a date, any type of date for that matter, with a smile on your face.
Even if it's a hookup, you want to leave and you want to think, okay, it was a short story.
I love to read short stories.

It's a problem.
You don't want to leave feeling empty.
