daddy issues

After years of unsuccessful dating and watching friends meet guys, get married and have kids, I met a guy online. A tall Italian fireman now living in London, I won I thought. He was looking for someone to go to movies, shows and cook with; good conversations and great sex and if it turned into something more, excellent. Sounded perfect as that’s always how I approached my relationships. We talked for two weeks day and night, first on the dating app then graduating to WhatsApp where we could be a little more intimate. At the end of our rope we decided to meet for a walk in the park, of course agreeing not to touch each other and obeying the 2 meter social distancing rule that London had in place. On the sunniest of days and an hour before we were due to meet he told me he had something to tell me.

“What is it?” I asked.

“I just found out I am going be a father in seven months, are you ok with that?”
