My misterer

If men can have mistresses, well, then I had a misterer.  Once.  For about a year.

I wasn't certain it was something I was capable of.  Then I discovered that I liked having a man to meet here and there.  I liked knowing that I could go, spend an hour or so, wear myself out, and go back to my normal life.  No harm.  No foul.

It was really...liberating. 

I liked the freedoms it allowed.  Instead of needing to find men to satisfy my needs, instead of working for constant fresh fucks, I had someone that understood our mutually beneficial relationship.

It was ideal.  And then he messed it up. 

How?

Simple.  He fell for me.  He wanted a relationship.  He wasn't anyone I wanted a relationship with.  Really.  And this may sound cold.  It's simply that I was happy with us where we were.  We didn't need to confuse things by trying to factor in romance.  I didn't want to date him.  That wasn't part of the plan.

And I think that my be one thing I fear with this new lifestyle we are exploring.  We are looking at potentially starting mini relationships with other people, mostly women, since he fears including men.  Still, I worry that suddenly there will be a situation where feelings are involved.  I worry that someone will suddenly develop feelings that shouldn't exist for one of us.

I suppose part of me assumes that it will be me.  I am the easier one to be with.  I am the easier one to get along with.  I am a much better communicator.

Should that deter us?  Should I simply screen people better?  And I wish I knew how to instigate this screening process because my misterer isn't the first one to fall for me that shouldn't have...
