Gunner

Gunner is a nice guy.

I’d been away from Second Life for quite a while. Six months? Maybe a year? It was nice to be back. I felt like dancing, so picked some club at random and TPed in. I’d only been there a couple of minutes when Gunner started talking to me.

“Hey Nik”

“Hi Gunner”

“How’s it going?”

“Don't you hate it when you arrive somewhere and your hair doesn't?”

“Happens all the time. That’s why I have a hat.”

Cute and funny! I liked him straight away. We even had matching sneakers.

Gunner and I chatted for a while. I suggested that we dance, but Gunner doesn’t like dancing. This was a bit disappointing – I love dancing. But it shows integrity as well. How easy would it be just to agree? I went and danced by myself. Met a nice girl named Vrollie. She is new here, we danced and chatted for a bit until her boyfriend showed up. Gunner didn’t pester me with IMs while I was dancing. Nice – I like this guy’s style!

After the dance I went back to Gunner. We chatted some more. He even offered to go shoe shopping with me! OK, a guy doesn’t have to crawl over broken glass. We went to a surfer beach instead. Gunner liked the way that I looked in my bikini, and he looked pretty good in his board shorts as well. I was horny as hell and I liked him a lot. It wasn’t a question of if we were going to end up in bed together, only a question of when.

When was only a few hours later. I’m not sure who seduced who … there wasn’t any serious resistance either way! The sex was great. I was a little disappointed that he had to log off and go to sleep straight afterwards. I wanted to cuddle. But hey, different timezones suck. My last words to Gunner that night:

“I've got work tomorrow so won't be on until maybe late. If you are going to be online then leave me an IM. But don't wait up for me.”

Next day. No IM.

Next day Gunner had left me a message “I feel so used!!!!!! Lol”.

WTF was that supposed to mean? I felt so hurt. And the worst thing was, there was just a little bit of truth in it. I’d gone to that club looking for a boyfriend. I’d found one. Him.

Gunner and I met a couple of times after that. Just briefly. Our timezones and body clocks really didn’t work well together. It still makes me a little sad.

Gunner is a nice guy.
