I asked him if he really didn’t have any “baggage.” He is 60 years old. I didn’t think it was possible to get that old without accumulating some luggage.

His answer was “I don’t even own a suitcase.”

I asked what he does when he goes on vacation. He just carries on a duffel bag. He doesn’t need much.

Here was a man I met online, went on a few dates with, visited his house a couple times just for sex.

Maybe I was perplexed about why he didn’t seem to want to get something going with me other than an occasional fuck.

I know there’s not enough experience to get a full picture. Is there ever?

I only know there are no ex wives or children. He says he doesn’t have a girlfriend. It appears he definitely lives alone. Someone sleeps on his couch occasionally. There is bedding on the couch.

We can’t ever be sure about what people tell us.

I believe him. Still, he is an enigma.
