Teresa

Once Eleanor was done with her session, she already had a couple of messages. One was from a woman named Teresa. Teresa had stood out to her because she, too, was openly trans. Teresa was beautiful, Latina, and very fit. Her bio said she was 25, 6'2", and that she enjoyed lifting weights and competing in muay thai, and was a personal trainer. She was intimidating, to say the least.

Her message was simple:

"Hi Eleanor!

You are so cute! I'm glad you're putting yourself out there with such confidence. The dating world can be hard for people like us - but also rewarding. I'd love to get to know you and hear you talk about robots!

<3 Teresa"

Eleanor fired off a response before she could chicken out.

"Nice to meet you Teresa! Thank you! I'm new at this so I'm nervous, but I'm glad to hear you've had good experiences. I could ramble all day about robots, so I'd be happy to talk to you about them! But I'd also love to hear some of your fighting stories!"

Teresa's reply was quick as well: "Let's do it! Let me take you out for coffee soon - tomorrow afternoon? We can regale each other and figure out what other topics interest both of us. :)"

Eleanor squealed. A date already! With a gorgeous, muscular older trans woman! Tinder was shaping up to be a great choice already. She shot off a message accepting the date, then set to work planning her outfit for the next day.
