[Scrap #1] There I was, walking in the cold Berlin mid-November wind. I felt nervous, even though I had done this at least thousands of times before. We had never talked much online, but it felt interesting, like a spark. I walked into this old Viennese style coffee shop, same way as I had many times before. I approached his table, full of fake confidence, putting the usual attempt of a friendly smile. He was sitting there with his phone, unaware that I had just arrived. When he saw me, he stood up and smiled in a polite and genuine way. The way I hadn’t seen in a while, the way that reflected honesty. Our conversation followed the usual dating script - we talked about our jobs, our basic life routine, interests. And yet, it didn't feel like any other date. It felt different, similar, but different. I hadn’t felt like that for a long time - seen, heard, and not invisible anymore. I was more than just a smile, and this was more than just a coffee. I can’t say that I understood how that short time with him would change my life. It was the beginning of a new chapter.
[Scrap #2] I was relatively new in the city when we met, my german skills were slowly improving and I was still struggling to adjust to this new life, it was by far an intense year for me, but never did have the time to process it all. Now that I think about it, "K" was an ideal that came true, he checked almost all my dream guy boxes, he had the looks, the money, the brains, the charisma, and such a good kisser! (almost too good to be true) but off course it was all in the first impression. after our coffee he drove me to the nearest Christmas market and before our goodbyes we shared a passionate intense kiss, it was soo good, but then I got the feeling, maybe "K" was just into sex, maybe not.. After all this months I cant really be 100% sure it was more than just sex, but I can be sure it was definitely not all about sex (if that makes sense). And so it begun my "K-affaire"...
