About 4 weeks ago, I went clubbing with friend and he took me to Lipstick (one of Mexico City’s “it” gay nightclubs). We instantly clicked as friends and were enjoying the rooftop bar, after about an hour/or so I told him I wanted to go down and dance. Long and behold, I see his guy with a unique way of dancing and when he smiled at me, I no one else mattered and I could not keep my eyes off of him. After minutes of flirting, we finally introduced ourselves (let’s call him “Erik”) and we were inseparable.
I knew he was new to the scene when about 10 minutes into our conversation, he said “What are you looking for?” and I responded “well it would be nice to have a long term relationship but that comes with time”. He continued to say he just got out of a relationship and isn’t looking for something serious, I replied with a smile “how about we just be friends (with benefits)”.
Friends with benefits was my plan and I told myself that it would be a great thing to have in Mexico. I could have a friendship and not tie any feelings, but even as I said it at the beginning I knew that there was a possibility of it backfiring. So for the next week, we chatted and texted (because I was out of town) and the moment I got back in town (week 2) we met for coffee. This lead to a series of very romantic dates, which grew into meeting his closest friends.
3 weeks later, we see each other 5-7 times a week and every time I see him I get the biggest smile and joy inside my heart. We finally admitted our feelings last night and decided to avoid the long distance drama and just be friends. Only God knows what the future holds. The only thing I do know is that my last 3 weeks in Mexico City were amazing and I got to spend it with an amazing/beautiful person who offered nothing but his kind soul.
I will miss the nights where I feel asleep under his arms, the passionate kisses and most of all the warm feeling I get inside when I see him. My last relationship was about a year ago and while I do know meeting Mr. Right takes time, I can’t complain about meeting this guy in Mexico. Better to have “loved” than to never have “loved”, right? I know we will have a friendship and I look forward to the next time I meet a guy that gave me what Erik did.
My answer to the topic is playing with fire, but I’d love to hear what you guys/gals think.
