greenstormTucker teases me about starting flirtations/relationships in the spring. I think I looked into it once and he wasn't strictly right, but anyhow: it's spring. Tucker is gone, not just physically but also in his loving-but-having-object-impermanence ND travelling way. Josh is far away. I've been deliberately looking for a plaything, not in a trivializing sense but in a very literal sense: someone with whom to play. All these apps haven't really got that for me, honestly I have Very Serious ties with my comet-type friends and most of them are in rough places right now, not playful at all.
However.
I went to the farmer's market and met that person who may be interesting. He's significantly older than I am, but I am twice as old as his daughter, so that's that. I'm going to sniff this out a little; it may be something I want to pursue. It may not be on offer, but I suspect it would be (he called and we talked for a couple hours), and (laughs) for an autistic person I'm awfully good at seducing folks. In fact I've missed it. So anyhow, the town may be offering me a spring thing. He's also not deeply embedded in any of the social-familial power structures of the town, so if it goes poorly I don't believe it will be as terrible as all that.
Anyhow, that's still in the sniffing phase, and in the chatting-with-partners stage.
Additionally, the person I get along with and have wanted to be friends with, but she has kids so her schedule is opposite mine: she has shifted her morning walk to before work. So I can pop down before work, walk with her and whichever other folks are along, and then go in to the office. I'll give it a start on Tuesday, it should be good.
So that's two opportunities I've been looking for that may have presented themselves. If I want to embed myself comfortably in this town, that's where to start.
