Two hours on a Tuesday is the entire offer, and it is not going to grow
- Looking for
- somebody for whom a small reliable arrangement is enough
- Experience
- Seven years, two dynamics, both of them small and both of them good.
- Around
- Kreuzberg, Berlin
Two hours, every Tuesday, plus messages morning and evening. That is what I have and it is not going to increase, because of a job that owns the rest of my week and a family situation I am not going to describe here beyond saying it is permanent.
Thirty nine, Kreuzberg, switch, seven years in, two arrangements both of which fitted inside roughly this.
I have learned to say it in the first message rather than the fifth, because the people who want more are perfectly entitled to and there is no sense in either of us finding out slowly. What I have found is that a small arrangement kept absolutely reliably is worth considerably more than a large one that keeps being rearranged, and both of my previous ones were proof of that.
Within the two hours and the messages I am serious, attentive and consistent. Either direction. I lead slightly more often than not. In seven years I have cancelled twice, both times with a week of warning.
Not looking for anybody who is hoping it expands. Not looking for a person who describes this as a good start. And not looking to be asked, gently, every few months, whether things have changed, because they will not have.
