I often think about that guy in that club in London who knew all the moves to Smooth Criminal. We executed the perfect choreography together (back when it was okay to still like MJ) and then we made out for like 45 mins. It was hot. I feel like this doesn't happen these days.
emily does it again!!!!! long live the dfm- truly a staple part of being young & in lust!!!! plus the flashback to the middle school dance? beginning to believe we lived the same childhood 😂
Astute commentary. I feel the largest effect of the proliferation of cell phones and social media is the degeneration of interpersonal communication skills, which of course translates into very, very poor dating skills. Nice transition of ideas too, from the initial memory at the school dance to club dancing and then to dating.
I’m 36, and my early 20s were all dfms. Some truly terrible decisions happened — but so did some of my fondest memories of being young and slightly wild. I have long Covid now — and thus a lackluster immune system — and what I miss most is being tipsy in a packed bar with my friends. The energy of the crowd, our tipsy contagious laughing while trying each others’ drinks.
!!! thank you for sharing cate, as someone in my mid-20s i feel that longing for something i still have but feel slipping away in the distance which pay have compelled me to write this in the first place.. really appreciate your insights! feel better xx
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I WANT TO KISS A BOY!

yes!! I've been campaigning to bring back just a little bit of mess – nonchalance and polished interactions are OUT.

Nobody can convince me there's anything more exciting in this world than a dfm with a boy whose name you don't know. Love!
