They say the best things in life are worth waiting for. As kids, we anxiously awaited the last day of school and the start of summer, and Christmas morning when Santa Clause would surprise us with gifts and toys underneath the Christmas tree. As adults however, waiting becomes less fun and more routine. Lines at the bank, waiting rooms in the doctors office, waiting for that promotion you’ve worked hard so hard for, waiting in general just becomes drudgery. Nowadays we’re all looking for instant gratification and today’s technology makes that extremely easy. With that said, the less we have to wait for something we want, the less value it has. The longer we have to wait for something we want, the more special it becomes. This is especially true in dating.
Kristina always made me wait, it was her trademark. When we first met, no matter how great of a time we’d have she would always wait at least a week to even talk me again. When we went out, if she said she would be there at 7, she would probably be there at 8:30 because of a “traffic jam” or unforeseen cosmic event. Texting her was even worse, sometimes she would even make me wait a whole day before she responded! She just knew I’d be by my phone in suspense, thinking every new text or call I got would be from her. The longer I waited, the more I wanted her and she knew it. The more fun we had when we were together, the more she could control my desire for her when we were apart.
I had to learn to play her game. If we set a date for 7, I’d show up at 8. If she waited an hour to respond to my text, I’d have to wait two hours to respond to her. If I wanted a blowjob, I’d have to give her a really good orgasm then disappear for a few days. But the longer we waited, the more mind-blowing the sex would get each time. In essence, absence is the root of all desire. The more it hurts when your apart, the more in love you are falling. Remember, instant gratification isn’t always gratifying. It’s up to us to decide who’s worth the wait, and who isn’t. Are you worth waiting for?
