Another brilliant piece from a GUNNAS WRITING MASTERCLASS WRITER
I walked down the aisle of the oldest church in Melbourne in 1984 with my heart full of hope and the certainty of youth that I was marrying my soul mate. After thirty years of marriage the other side of the bed was empty.
I did not expect to enter the on line dating world.
My heart ached to be loved and desired. I wanted a man who would adore my sharp intellect and quick wit.
Yet I received message after message with similar themes: “I like your bust”, “Your tits are the best” and “What size are the girls?” My personal favourite was “Impressive” which made me feel like I was a ship or house. I got so many messages about my breasts I thought they almost deserved their own face book page.
I received message from Terry requesting I add interest to his sex life by being his BDSM phone sex friend. Ah no.
I agreed to talk on the phone with Robert. His first statement was “I really like out there sex.” I wondered what this meant and he said he liked his woman in a tight dress and high heels. He also asked me what my favourite sex position was. He was offended when I said “shouldn’t we have dinner and a show first” I didn’t tell him that I had to wear orthopaedic shoes and could hardly be bothered to dress for dinner let alone bed.
I was shocked when I received unsolicited dick pics. My children assured me this was normal.
Have I found big love in amongst all this? No. I have a heart full of hope though.
And sculpt a different future
