Yes.
Isn’t it “giving nerd”?
Who taught you that?
The Youths.
I mean this as disrespectfully as possible: you can’t pull it off. Is this really your first match?
My bio says I’m 6’3. Do you think this is my first match?
Damn. He’s right. I know girls who would swipe right on the grim reaper if he were tall with a jawline.
Life for tall men must be so easy.
You forgot sexy.
Says who?
You like me in a sweater. I read between the lines.
Don’t let it go to your head.
I’m afraid it’s way too late for that. Gabbi told me the first picture was bad, by the way.
She’s not wrong.
It worked on you, didn’t it?
My stomach flutters in a way it never does in these app conversations. I’m enjoying thiswaytoo much.
It was the sexy saguaro that did it. I always loved Sabino Canyon.
His reply takes longer to arrive than his other messages.
All it takes to turn you on is desert landscaping and pillowcases? You’ve set the bar in hell.

I’m serious. I’m jaded and cynical now.
Hence the swooning over my headboard.
I hear the words in his dry voice and flip to my other side as warmth spreads through my body. This is headed in a dangerous direction.
My swooning made you look like you were going to be sick.
That’s not what it was.
Do tell.
I’m baiting him, and awaiting his response is pure, everlasting agony.
I’ve been waiting 10 years to get you in my bed, Darling. No, I don’t want to hear you talk about other guys.
