That time Harry downloaded dating apps

This one's for you Starry-girl-LS ♥️

In retrospect, getting pissed drunk by himself while downloading dating apps wasn't one of his brightest ideas. Harry wanted to crawl into a black hole and stay there. Mostly because of the horrible hangover but also because he probably would end up with a restraining order for sexually harassing a stranger.

It started innocently. It was Saturday and since he moved to London a month ago he didn't know anyone. He was single and always on the lookout.

He didn't want to go out to a bar or a club by himself. The risk of spending the night alone at a table while everyone around him was laughing and having fun felt like a nightmare.

He had finished his first week at his new job and felt like celebrating so he cooked himself a nice dinner and opened a bottle of wine. He ate in front of the tv.

When he was done eating he refilled his wine glass and leaned back with a sigh. He felt lonely.

He started to flip through his phone and decided to download a couple of dating apps for fun. Who knew? Maybe the love of his life was there waiting for him.

He had never online dated before. It felt weird. Did people actually meet each other through apps?

He decided to at least check out the selection of single men available. No harm in looking, right?

He downloaded Grindr and happn, because why not? He quickly fixed an e-mail account without his name in it for some anonymity and started to create a Grindr account. He clicked on edit profile and thought about what his display name should be. He decided on Princess_Harry.

He giggled to himself and took another big sip of wine before he clicked on 'About me'.

Okay, he needed to think about this. After finishing his glass of wine and refilling it he started to type.

Princess_Harry

Hi!
26 years old, lives in London. Bottom/Versatile

Should he really write that? Oh well, he could always change it later after he had checked out other men's profiles to see what they wrote about themselves. He continued and read the end result.

Princess_Harry

Hi!
26 years old, lives in London. Bottom/Versatile

Interests: Music, cooking, photography, movies.

Looking for: A great guy.

Okay, that just sounded stupid. Harry emptied his glass and refilled it. He deleted everything he just wrote. He could go back later and rewrite it.

He clicked on Stats and okay, here was everything he just wrote. Well, almost. He toggled on at the box for showing age. He put in his height but left out his weight. That was just rude to ask. Body type had him drink wine again. Slim or muscular? He had no idea. He took care of himself but he wasn't buff. He didn't look like he was carrying around a tv 24/7. So slim maybe? He toggled that box.

Next was position. Geez. They were detailed. He clicked bottom and allowed it to show. He went back and changed to versatile. He was like 70/30. Seven out of ten times he wanted to bottom but three out of ten times he was in the mood to top. He wondered how accurate those numbers were? It differed. It wasn't like he had to top. If his partner would be strictly top he would be fine with it.

Now he was getting way ahead of himself. Partner? Pffft. Guys used Grindr to find someone to fuck, right? Why was he even on this app? Sex was fun and all that but it didn't keep him warm at night as long as it was casual.
