Well, I could, but I want more than that. I want a warm body to snuggle with. I want someone who buys me flowers, takes me on date nights, loves to eat my cooking and kiss me, even when I have morning breath.
I grab my phone from where I left it charging on the nightstand and pull up the dating app, Soulties. My heart rate increases when I see that I’ve received five new messages.
Most of them are pretty run-of-the-mill hellos, but one of them stands out. The username is intriguing, especially after my sex dream. A guy who knows how to use a rope is exactly what I need.

Let’s skip this part and just get married.
I snort at the cheesy line, typing out a response.
@redreads
That would be quite the jump from anonymous texting, but let’s see how the week goes.
I hit Send before tapping on his profile to read the basic information the app shows when you match. If we send twenty-five messages in a day, it will unlock new information about us to share with the other person. To my surprise, he starts typing out a response right away.
@ropesandchainsexciteme
My friend wrote out that message and made me this profile. He thinks I need a relationship.
@redreads
Do you? Does that mean ropes and chains don’t excite you?
@ropesandchainsexciteme
I’m trying to get over someone. Oh, no, ropes definitely excite me. I’m open to chains, but I don’t think they’d be needed unless the ropes break.
I bite my lip, loving the way he’s so up front and honest immediately.
@redreads
I have a thing for ropes.
@ropesandchainsexciteme
I’ve got a lot of experience with ropes. What’s your thing?
@redreads
I want to get tied up. Well, I should probably have regular vanilla sex first. But then I want to get tied up.
Telling Ropes I’m a virgin so soon is probably not a great idea, but I feel like being recklessly honest.
@ropesandchainsexciteme
How old are you?
@redreads
Twenty-three.
@ropesandchainsexciteme
Damn. And you’re still a virgin?
