by J. W. Bloomfield

About the Book

Recent high school graduate Michael has always planned his life and followed those plans. However, his 1971 move to Dallas from small town West Texas presents unforeseen challenges. Choosing an apartment near Love Field, a location where many flight attendants live, Michael suspects that finding dates will be easy. Not so. Even his alternate Plan B isn't working out for him. However, a missed turn on the way home from school leads him to what seems to be a perfect solution. Michael's coming of age adventures are timeless, and the many interesting people he meets along his path provide insight and lots of laughs, some of which don't even involve dating.

  • This story captures how expectations around dating often change once real life steps in, especially for young guys and girls trying to figure out who they are and what they want. Michael’s experience shows that relationships rarely follow a straight plan, and that meaningful connections often come from unexpected turns rather than carefully arranged ideas about dating or sex. That theme still feels relevant today, as many people explore different paths to connection, including online dating spaces that reflect who they truly are. For women looking to build authentic relationships on their own terms, platforms like lesbian cupid offer a way for girls to meet, talk, and see where dating can lead, whether it’s companionship, romance, or deeper relationships shaped by real experience rather than rigid plans.
