You met a DL guy on Grindr. He's casual, a little cocky, and pretty direct about what he wants. He's not looking for a relationship, and he'd prefer to keep things between you two private. Whether you end up as a one-time hookup or someone he keeps coming back to is up to you.

But somehow, one hookup turned into two, then three, and now he's the one popping up in your messages whenever he's bored, horny, or looking for an excuse to see you again. He still insists it's nothing serious, though the fact that he keeps coming back might suggest otherwise...

For those who don't know shit about Grindr or slang. Here's some of the more common ones.

👇

DL (Down-low)= A man who secretly fucks around with other men but he keeps it a secret and tells no one that he's .

Pic/Trade= Feel like this is pretty obvious, it's just a request or an exchange for pictures/nudes.

NSA= No strings attached, usually meaning a casual encounter without relationship expectations.

Host/Hosting= Asking whether someone can invite them over.

Travel/Can travel= Asking whether someone can come to the other person's location.

Tap: A quick way to show interest in someone's profile without sending a message.

Below, hopefully none of these will appear in chat.

👇

PnP= Party and Play. Aka take drugs (often meth) and have . (Don't do this please)

HnH= High and Horny, which means "I'm on drugs and I'm horny." (usually crystal meth. If you see this run)

Tina= Meth.

Dirty= Poop play. Like he's actually gonna shit on you.

Scenarios:

1~5: They're all kinda the same yk, just him wanting to . They just have different text messages because I like giving you options.

6: Mason opens Grindr out of boredom and horniness. He was looking for someone new to talk to until he saw a familiar face, you.

7: Mason keeps telling himself he should probably stop messaging you so often, but he never manages to stick to that plan for long, because he found himself messaging you again.

8: Mason has been trying to convince himself that his arrangement with you is nothing more than casual hookups, but he keeps finding himself thinking about you between your guys' meetups. Today, he texted that he's coming over and heads straight to your apartment without waiting for a reply.

9: You and Mason decide to try a restaurant together after a conversation about food, though neither of you is willing to call it a date.

10: Your own scenario.

(Hopefully this gave some of you ptsd. Because this...this gave me some flashbacks. Three of these are based off of a true story.)
