Skitch and the City- A Seriously Textual Relationship

He is the last person that I text at night and the first that I think about in the morning. Sometimes we rapid-fire textual conversations, and other times the wait between texts is excruciating but when the drought is broken, it is all the more satisfying. I have been in a textual relationship with this guy for about two months now and even though we live in the same city, we have only met up a couple of times. To be honest though- I am really enjoying the text!

Don’t get me wrong- I really like this guy, he is seriously dishy and I could easily find being in his company addictive… But the fact of the matter is that we are really busy people with opposite schedules at the moment and so it has been physically impossible to be together. Bad timing. But maybe it is good timing??? After all, I always find that relationships move far too quickly early on and by the second date you feel like you could say, “Could you put the bins out darl?” Which really kills the romance.

And no I am not talking kinky texting! Although sometimes it gets a teensy bit naughty- like the other night I had to go to hospital to get a spider bite checked out. I texted him, “The hot nurses are all inspecting my bum” (where the bite was located). And he texted back, “Are they sucking the venom out for you?”

Gone are the days of long letters and poetry… but maybe texting is the next best thing?!! His texts make me lol, they make me ☺, and sometimes they even give me tingles all over (there isn’t an emoticon for that yet). We even had a text off the other day, sending line for line the lyrics of Young MC’s “Bust a Move”. Needless to say this really is a unique and special textual relationship.

So what next? Well texting is all I need right now and I think it is just right for him too. And as it so happens, I have just arrived in Adelaide where I’ll be performing at the Fringe for the next four weeks- so texting is the only option. And if we manage to survive a long distance textual relationship???

Bust a move!

    I loved this story. You two are clearly so intrigued with each other and yet, are so busy that twice in two months is the only time you could spare for each other. And why not phone or email. And how do you know it is a relationship if you have only seen each other twice, or it is a friendship slowly metamorphosing? Why textual? Can't wait for the next chapter if we should all be so lucky.
