Steph’s sudden reaction to my having mentioned Bree’s name brought me up short. Oops, I’d forgotten that Steph had no idea we’d already expanded our group on the east coast. She also had no idea about my activities on the west coast. I was having trouble keeping the two sides of the country separate.
I explained Bree; “She’s a younger and beautiful Ph.D. geneticist who we met a couple of months ago, and with whom we have a loving relationship. She stays with us most of the time in Dillon, although she has a Cambridge apartment – and if it looks like a winter storm is brewing I’m going to end up living with her near here, and probably with Dirk too, since his company is in Watertown.” As I’d talked, I’d called up a sedate snapshot of Bree I took at Christmas on my iPhone. “Here’s her picture.”
“Wow. I think I tapped into the mother lode of beauty, love, and sex here. She’s very pretty. I can’t wait to meet her. You’re all so pretty and handsome.” Steph paused and asked, “Do you suppose I could meet her before we try anything? I mean, I’m new to this, and I’d feel strange showing up to screw around with someone that I’d never met. I want to meet Dirk too; I’ve only seen him across the room. Maybe I’ll feel different in the future, but right now...”
I interrupted, “Steph, of course. I’ll see if the two of us and Bree can have lunch this week. Her work is down at in Kendall Square, only two subway stops away. Dirk’s business is up in Watertown, so, as I think of it, we might do better to meet him after work. They might also appreciate meeting Joe too. Let’s meet for a casual dinner somewhere convenient.”
We picked an ideal time for the two of us. While Steph was in my office, I texted Dirk and Bree to see if they could do dinner on Wednesday. Both replied almost immediately that they could. As I did that, Steph locked in the day and time with Joe.
Wednesday evening the five of us converged on a popular restaurant north of Boston named Hogan’s after the golf legend. We’d done introductions as we happened to meet outside the place, so by the time we got a booth everyone had at least briefly met everyone else. I seated the table, putting Steph between Dirk and Bree, and opposite Joe and me.
I started, “Look, without going into details, we know why we’re here. I have a little test for later. Let me explain.” I pulled six small envelopes from my purse. “Each of these five envelopes contains two pieces of paper, one red and one green. They’re all identical. At the end of our meal, I’m going to pass around an empty envelope and you put one color or the other in it – red for ‘not ready yet’ or green for ‘it’s a go.’ If we get any reds, we’ll do some more socializing besides this dinner before getting to what Dirk has historically called the Main Event. You keep the envelope and whatever color you have left in it, so we don’t know who put the ‘red’ vote in. Is that OK with everyone?”
Steph nodded, “I like that because we don’t have to explain ourselves if we just feel uncomfortable for any reason.”
Bree and Dirk agreed for the same reason.
We took a break to order our drinks and dinners.
Joe said, “Let me add something to your slips of paper scheme. I’m glad too that we’ll have a somewhat secret go/no-go vote, but if I’m uncomfortable for any reason, I won’t mind talking about it with you all. I’m pretty vocal and upfront with what’s going on inside my head. Steph’s been working on me since we got married to talk about my feelings and not hide them.”
I said, “Good. To get the ball rolling I have a question to get us talking about what I’ll call ‘related’ subjects. The question is, ‘What is it about another person that turns you on?’”
My question was somewhat loaded. Steph had called Dirk dreamy and confessed that she liked Russ a lot. She’d kind of come onto me too. I wanted to know her thinking, especially since she told me that she took the longest to come around to the idea of swinging with another couple or three.
After some laughter, Bree said, “I’ll start, and answering is easier for me right now because I recently had this discussion with another girl at work. I think of this in terms of mind, body, and spirit, and all components have to be there. A person has to have a keen mind – value education and critical thinking, and definitely not automatically accept the status quo ... and they have to have a spiritual component in their life and in how they make love. Just to emphasize, I do not mean anything religious. I need to feel that connection with them besides the physical connection.”
She looked around the table, and we all encouraged her to continue. Bree said, “My dreamboats have to take care of their body. They’re clean, healthy, somewhat athletic, and watch their diets. They have low ego needs and don’t need to beat their chests and say ‘Look at me’. They’re not locked into some creed or book that is presented to them as a ‘given.’ They see a relationship, even a casual one, as a coupling on multiple levels and in multiple dimensions – some we know and some we don’t. Well, that’s the short version.” Bree looked around the table expectantly.
Joe thoughtfully said, “I like that. I think guys might be a little more superficial. My dream girl, to coin a term, has to be a looker – and the three of you magnificently fit that statement. You’re all pretty. You care about how you look all the time. I would add ‘smart’ to Bree’s list; I might like to look at a dumb blonde, but if she’s really as dumb as a stump, she flunks my standards. Lastly, I guess instead of spiritual, I use the word chemistry. I need to feel chemistry with the other person, and that’s multidimensional.”
Dirk said, “You guys are stealing all my criteria. I like everything you’ve each said. I think of relationships in three phases: meeting, building, and sustaining. Cross that with your body, mind, and spirit criteria, and you have nine things to work on or examine as you go along in a relationship. We’re in the meeting stage with you Steph and Joe, and Bree, Julie, and I are in the building phase. One of the things that happens in the meeting and building phases is New Relationship Energy, those elated feelings of excitement, sexual receptivity, and connection on many levels. What’s unique among most of us, and I include Russ and my wife Jo, is we’re experiencing NRE alongside our established mature relationships that we want to preserve and grow – Russ with Julie, Jo with me, and no doubt you two – Joe and Steph.”
Steph went next. “I like what you’ve each said. I realize that I was being too superficial in my thinking. I read someplace about our auras – we each have one, and some people can even see them around people. Well, some believe that before we’ve said a word to a new person, that our auras interact. They communicate perfectly about who we are, what our values are, and all about how we treat other people.”
She looked around the table at each of us. “I’ve now interacted with all of you, and I feel all warm and fuzzy about the possibility of us being together. I think we will not only have fun, but also developing lasting deep relationships. I like that. I feel nothing threatening here.” She went quiet after that.
