10 + 1 things I love about love!

In my life I have been single much more than not single. I’ve always loved being single. Okay, that’s a lie. I was very heartbroken. And I’ve seen a lot of Hollywood kitsch movies where I always wished that exactly this love story would happen to me in real life.

But officially I was very happy to be single. Totally cool, maximum self-confidence, independent, free, blah blah.

So now I’m in a relationship. And admit that all this isn’t as rushed and boring and conventional and fun-free as I used to think when I observed my friends in relationships.

I’m sorry mate

I even want to go one step further. I can easily think of 78 things that are really sexy in such a committed relationship. Let’s pick 10 for today. You didn’t want to read 100 miles of text and I didn’t want to write 100 miles of text.

The order is purely random.

1. Be Chilled
Since Sandro and I are officially a couple, I can sleep, eat, drink and breathe very easily again. It was difficult before that. I was either in love, which ruled out being chilled, or I was heartbroken, which ruled out chilling, eating, drinking, and sleeping. True no, the drinking included heartbreak more than excluded. Anyway. You know what I mean.

2. Don’t wait
As a single quickly to the container, to the Beck, to the supermarket without a mobile phone? spinner might write the perfect Tinder match, the guy from the day before yesterday or the awesome guy from anywhere who likes my 2017 Instagram photos. Cell phone today? Oh fuck, 4 missed calls, 1 new number. My mom has been trying to reach me since 9 am. Now it is 3 pm. sorry Mama

3. Falling asleep together
Where my laptop used to be my faithful bedfellow, I use it for streaming, is now SSMSS. And spoon me. And smells good. And presses his bar against my ass. And giggles. Because he really always has a latte. Or knead around my breasts. Then the latte comes into play again. Or irritates me with his very cold feet.

4. Bingen a deux
Ok, finding common series isn’t always an easy mission. But once you’ve found one, there’s nothing better (sex doesn’t count) than snuggling up for hours, cuddling, discussing, and ordering good food from the delivery service in between.

5. No pitying looks
Not from your own mother, all her sisters, all their neighbors, from in-laws, people from professional circles, or complete strangers at weddings as you sit embarrassingly silent at the bachelor table. Although I have to say that I’ve had very good one-night stands at singles tables. Do you remember the Turk with the magic fingers?

6. Always Available Sex
Enough said!

7. No More Bladder Infections
My Flora and Sandro’s sperm have gotten so used to each other that the bladder infections are over, says my gynecologist.

8. No Beauty Stress
Legs not shaved, wax studio fully booked at short notice or an ingrown hair on the nipple (that last one happened to a friend of course), not so bad.

9. The Holiday Thing
Sandro and I are one of those couples who absolutely want to travel without each other. But we also really want to discover the world together. This makes planning a vacation a lot easier. As a single person, I had to constantly think about who I wanted to travel with, the a. available, b. appropriate and c. At the same time I am also on holiday, I can now approach it much more relaxed. Knowing full well that there is always someone with whom vacation is great anyway.

10. A little love everywhere
There’s an “I love you” Post-it, there’s a “Still great boobs, girlfriend!” Whatsapp, or a hoarse “We are really great” just before falling asleep, so there is no shortage of caresses of the soul. And not physically either.

Oh shit, I forgot an important…

11. Bad Nicknames
And I mean really, really bad. Worse than Bambusbjörn and Lilie. Really crazy. Tiger Shepherd or Treasury Sparrow. haha!

By the way, dear singles, if you’ve really read this far, hats off! If I were you I would have vomited after the title! But since you’ve come this far, you’re going to have a drink. To hot solo sex. And I don’t even mean masturbation, but rather the mega exciting sex that singles sometimes have so surprisingly with very handsome strangers.
