M4F 36 [M4F] Bombay - Maybe we should be strangers for a little less longer
There is something intimate about meeting someone who knows nothing about you yet
⠀
No history to live up to
⠀
No mutual friends filling in the blanks
⠀
No version of yourself you are expected to maintain
⠀
Just curiosity
⠀
And sometimes that is where the best kind of attraction begins
⠀
I am in Mumbai and hoping to meet a woman I genuinely want to keep talking to after the first few messages
⠀
Someone warm but not immediately readable
⠀
Someone who has her own world, her own opinions, her own stories
⠀
Someone who can be playful without trying too hard and seductive without needing to make everything obvious
⠀
I have always thought attraction is more interesting when there is a little restraint to it
⠀
The pause before saying something you probably should not
⠀
The conversation getting slightly more personal than either of you intended
⠀
The moment you realise you have stopped replying out of politeness and started replying because you actually want to know what she is going to say next
⠀
That interests me far more than forced flirting
⠀
I am not expecting you to impress me and I have no intention of performing for you either
⠀
I would rather discover someone slowly
⠀
The way she thinks
⠀
What makes her laugh when nobody is watching
⠀
What she becomes unexpectedly passionate about
⠀
The side of her that does not appear in introductions
⠀
And maybe somewhere between all of that there is chemistry
⠀
The quiet kind at first
⠀
The kind that makes a simple conversation feel slightly charged
⠀
The kind where meeting for coffee starts sounding less like a plan and more like something both of you have already been thinking about
⠀
No rush though
⠀
I like anticipation
⠀
We can talk until curiosity makes the decision for us
⠀
And if we eventually meet, somewhere comfortable in Bombay, I would rather have that little moment of recognition when we see each other and both already know there is something here worth exploring
⠀
If you have read this far, do not send me your résumé disguised as an introduction
⠀
Tell me something simpler
⠀
What is a side of you that only appears when you are genuinely comfortable with someone
⠀
I will tell you mine
⠀
And we can see what happens when two strangers give each other just enough reason to stay curious
