Currently listening to: get him back! – Olivia Rodrigo

I wanna key his car (I want to get him back)I wanna make him lunch (but then I, I want to get him back)I wanna break his heart (but then I, I want to get him back)And be the one to stitch it up (but then I, I want to get him back)Wanna kiss his face (but then I, I want to get him back)With an uppercut (but then I, I want to get him back)I wanna meet his mom (but then I, I want to get him back)Just to tell her her son sucks (but then I, I want to get him back)

I’ve already answered this in previous posts:

Is there a part of your personality that you try to suppress?

Taking a prompt from TCMC: For me, it’s my hunger for sex—not just the act itself, but the slow, electric build-up. The anticipation. The teasing. The way desire coils beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to unravel.

I don’t want that to be the first thing people see when they look at me, so I keep it contained, measured, controlled. I avoid eye contact when I feel that pull. I downplay my own cravings because I don’t want them to define me. It’s not that I’m constantly in a state of wanting.

I’ve been with men who should have set my body on fire, yet I felt nothing. Because for me, attraction is more than just physical—it’s energy. It’s the way someone looks at me with desire, how they carry themselves, the unspoken confidence that makes me lean in rather than pull away. I need to be finessed, I need the right vibe—the kind that makes my pulse quicken, that stirs something low and deep, that makes me want to surrender instead of resist.

There have been plenty of times when Zaddy would initiate intimacy, but I just wasn’t in the right headspace. The vibe was off, and no matter how much he tried, I couldn’t force myself to feel something that wasn’t there in the moment. His frustration would start to show—sometimes through guilt trips, other times through quiet irritation—which only pushed me further away.

After he dropped me off at my car, the texts would start—angry, cutting, meant to make me feel bad. But instead of engaging, I’d turn my phone off, giving myself space to breathe. I needed time to process, to collect my thoughts, and to handle the situation with a clear mind. The last thing I wanted was to react out of frustration and say something I’d regret later.

But I resist. A lot. I overthink. I hesitate. I analyze everything. My own mind is my biggest cockblock, always one step ahead, whispering doubts, making me too aware of myself.

And that’s where alcohol comes in. A drink or two is like a switch, dulling the noise, softening the edges. It quiets the overthinking and lets me exist in the moment, lets me feel instead of scrutinizing. My body becomes more responsive, my guard lowers, my inhibitions slip away in a haze of warmth and confidence. I stop worrying about whether I’m doing too much or not enough, whether I should make the first move or wait for him to close the gap.

When the vibe is right and my mind finally lets go, that’s when it occurs. That sweet, slow descent into pure, uninhibited pleasure. That’s when the magic happens and it keeps me coming back for more.

      Oh no!! Is it the website? The content?

      1. coolpeppermint Avatar

        it looks like the format has changed! rather than displaying the whole post, it displays 2 lines and links out of wordpress reader. (nw if this is desired/intentional. i may visit your site to read your posts in bulk, since i like reading your entries.)

    I love this post–it’s so hard to get vibes right! (In fact, I’m not sure you can “get vibes right.” Rather, your vibes match another person’s or they don’t). Alcohol can short circuit the process for a night, but in the long run there’s really no substitute for natural vibes, no? And the long experiment with people you’re curious about–the subtle flirtations and pheromone exchange and significant glances–that’s one of the great joys and frustrations to life. Thanks for getting me to think and feel something for a bit!

      Agreed, sometimes the alcoholic drink helps for the first time especially and after getting to know someone it becomes more organic. Thanks so much for your comment, Joe!

    I understand how you feel. I think back to when I was dating, and there are similarities to how you feel (even the alcohol), but it was such a different time. Dating was different then than it is today. I can’t imagine being young and dating today. It’s going to be an adventure for me trying to date going forward (if/when I do). My biggest problem is going to be that I don’t want to date an old man! I’m going to keep lying about my age. 🙂

    I do hope one day you end up on a blind date that pushes all the right buttons, and you find the love of your life!

      Thank you!! I hope so too!! Which reminds that I need to do a post on dating safety 😆 this is a must
