What Have I Learned? – Chapter 59

One of my favorite scenes from the world of movies is when Sue asks Crocodile Dundee, whether they have psychologists out at Walkabout Creek. He answers that if you have problems, you just tell Wally and the day after everybody knows about it. Problem over. That is perhaps a bit like bartenders for men and [...]

Control – Chapter 58

Dear Elizabeth, I hope you have time to come by for a chat tomorrow evening. I’ll arrange for dinner, but mostly I need to talk some things over. On Saturday Liva moved to Aarhus, she has found a new job over there. Today Sabine moved back to her rented room on my request, but in [...]

Honesty – Chapter 57

My theory proved correct. It is a great idea to think carefully when it comes to new plans. Maybe it’s just me, but I think men in general can take a little longer dealing with feelings than women. It wasn’t until after I had received input from my various friends and spent time analyzing myself [...]

The Decision – Chapter 56

Dear Christian and Sabine, The trip to Aarhus went smoothly. Xenia slept most of the way, and I had time to study the many magazines you had bought for me. Thank you for your good company during the time I have been living with you. It has given me much needed input, and it feels [...]

New Thoughts – Chapter 55

The Central Station is starting to cause me trauma. Yesterday we sent Liva and Xenia off to Aarhus, and once again there was hugging on the platform. We joked a little that she should send us a postcard, or at least send us some pictures of the temporary apartment in an email. Their baggage consisted [...]

A New Plan Emerges – Chapter 54

Sabine and Liva have both gone to bed, each with a book. Xenia was put to sleep many hours ago and I once more sit pondering the small and large changes, life has come to the habit of bringing me lately. Just as I had concluded that a life with my ex-wife, her child and [...]

Self-insight – Chapter 53

For the past hour I’ve been sitting staring at the gift I got from Judy last night. It gives my office a little personality and will forever remind me of how special she is. Although the small glass ball is only a few centimeters tall, it proves how well she got to know me. It [...]

In a Better Mood – Chapter 52

This morning Benjamin and I tried a new kind of brunch. We had found a place which advertised that you could mix your own instead of getting the traditional dish with everything at once. It is a clever concept because you don’t end up having cold pancakes or an entire portion of yogurt left over. [...]

At Ease – Chapter 51

Dear Christian, You do not need to decide anything about Christmas in the countryside yet, but I wanted to give you the option. We can always get back to that. Thanks for your voluminous report and congratulations that you managed everything with your three women. You always seem to find solutions to even the most [...]

A Positive Angle – Chapter 50

- So then, are you getting a lot of Nyataimori these days? William and I were enjoying sushi for dinner, and of course he was referring to the weird tradition of serving raw fish on naked women. – Hehe. Oh no, I prefer my women au naturel. – Don’t mix food and women? – Now [...]

Focusing on Two – Chapter 49

Daniel and Mikkel sat and talked, when I showed up to our after-hours beer appointment. They were in the middle of some complicated, technical hullabaloo going over my head, so I went up to the bar to get a round. This evening, it appeared to be Kasper, who was not there – no one knew [...]

A New Twist – Chapter 48

Happiness can indeed be capricious. Now I had finally, after careful consideration, found that I could live out my version of Elizabeth’s model. It could work even though, or perhaps because, all four of us lived together. I had them all close in my life, and it suited me perfectly to have the prospect of [...]

Loving More than One – Chapter 47

On my way across Kongens Nytorv I noticed Ulrich driving in his car looking for a parking space. I waved and walked toward the anchor. It was impossible to say where he might get lucky to park his car around here. After a few minutes he walked up from behind, so he must have found [...]

Home Alone – Chapter 46

When I came home from the office today, I was amazed at how quiet my apartment was. In stark contrast to Monday evening, where I was greeted by exactly the scents, I had hoped for: beautiful women, curry and coriander. The girls had decided to experiment with the best of the East, and they conjured [...]

Leader of the Pack – Chapter 45

Dear Christian, Where are your updates to the outskirts of Denmark? I have not heard from you since right after the holidays, and even then you were quite sparse with information about the women in your new life. You promised to keep me updated, and don’t start saying that nothing has happened, because I know [...]

On Top Again – Chapter 44

For once Nikolai seemed enthusiastic when we met at our favorite bar. No complaints or other dissatisfaction about daycare or new infections, so I could fairly quickly turn the conversation into the somewhat esoteric area. – I had the strangest dream a couple of nights ago. It was as if I entered into the same [...]

Clarity – Chapter 43

Last night I had the most wonderful dream, and it was one of those I will remember for the rest of my life. Both the prelude and the experience was so bizarre that I could not get myself to bring it up when I arrived at Robert’s, who had once more spontaneously invited me over [...]

Dream Talk – Chapter 42

Today I have stayed at home. It isn’t particularly busy at the office, and I felt more need to be alone. It was nice to sleep in, especially now that the mornings are getting darker and I could have my morning coffee just by myself, all the girls were out. After my run and a [...]

An Important Conversation – Chapter 41

All my good intentions to have a thorough chat with Sabine fell apart last night. Not because I was lacking the energy, but she came home very late after a long day of intense studies with her study group. I left the office early to be home before half past five. It’s always exciting to [...]

A Place for Experiences – Chapter 40

Sabine had a good idea Saturday morning. Her lack of interest in our national tourist attractions that could be something to show Judy, was counteracted by a girly shopping trip across the sound to Malmoe. None of them had visited Sweden before and I told them that there were many good shops over there and [...]

High Stakes – Chapter 39

Dear Christian, How nice to hear that you have found happiness with your version of the model. Three women under one roof and then on top of that exactly the types you set yourself to find! It is incredible how we can have our wishes fulfilled when daring to go a little outside the traditional [...]

Perspectives – Chapter 38

Benjamin sent me a text message this morning regarding a new brunch restaurant he had read about, and as we both had a quiet day, we met a couple of hours later for a very late breakfast. Some would even call it a late lunch, but these days one can find places where they serve [...]

Happiness – Chapter 37

This morning I got up early and prepared breakfast for Sabine before she was off to her lectures. If she took it as an act marked a bit by my conscience is impossible to say, but she looked very happy when she entered the kitchen after showering. – What excellent service! I thought you still [...]

Evening Beers – Chapter 36

Dear Christian, I hope you had a good party last Friday. Thanks again for your invitation and your comprehensive update, it was an amusing read. Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, but I’ve been to Jutland for a while to wind down. It doesn’t look too promising to sell the house here in [...]

Homecoming – Chapter 35

When I’m traveling, my dreaming is often more active than when I’m at home. Last week was no exception, there was so much for the subconscious to process from the past few weeks. To my chagrin the dreams didn’t offer deep insights or solutions, but especially two dreams kept recurring. In the first one I [...]

Vacation Time – Chapter 34

In about one hour, I am headed for Kastrup Airport in order to spend next week in Gran Canaria, and then I will have to find out about my friends’ nocturnal escapades when I get home. Our efforts to satisfy all taste buds fortunately seemed beyond all expectations, and although several people did not know [...]

Party – Chapter 33

Preparations for tonight’s party took up most of the day. We all took the day off and started out shopping this morning. It was amusing to see how Judy studied all the produce she certainly does not see at home in Argentina. But she was also surprised to see how many fruits and vegetables, Denmark [...]

Enter Exotica – Chapter 32

Maybe there really is a god or another entity answering prayers and fulfilling wishes. But he has a perfidious sense of humor. When I came home from yet another uneventful day at the office, in the week leading up to the whole country going on a fall break, I found not only Liva and Sabine [...]

The Joy of Repetition – Chapter 31

Liva and I were catching our breaths again after she had surprised me by sneaking into my bed in the middle of the morning. – How come you are not at work? – It’s kind of quiet out there, so I could not help but live out some fantasies that I have had in the [...]

Something to Celebrate – Chapter 30

Dear Marie, I promised to keep you informed of my project, and there has been a lot going on lately, so get yourself a huge cup of coffee before you read on. Last time you heard about some rather unsuccessful dates and the young girl, Sabine. Thanks to her, I have been spared further dates. [...]

More Surprise – Chapter 29

Ulrich called late this afternoon and invited himself to dinner. I didn’t know whether Sabine would be at the university until late but I remembered that Liva would be going out to dinner with a friend. So this could be a very nice occasion to tell Ulrich about all the news over some good food [...]

Will There Be Trouble? – Chapter 28

- Say, have you gone completely mad? Nikolai was well underway on his third beer, but as I had so much to tell, I was just about done with my second. – I told you that I had news. But the latest twist has come unexpectedly, and a few days ago I was just super [...]

Surprise – Chapter 27

A big surprise awaited me when I came home from the office this evening. There was a pram outside my door next to the elevator. I have no neighbors because I live on the top floor, and I found it a bit mysterious if Sabine had a friend visiting. When I entered my apartment, I [...]

A New Life – Chapter 26

I could have saved myself the concerns last night about causing Sabine to be late this morning. As she said on the way out the door, only slightly delayed, she is old enough to be responsible for her own time. When she woke me up a little before six o’clock with some gentle touches, I [...]

Dinner With a Friend – Chapter 25

Robert and I got a couple of hours to ourselves after dinner. Sabine had a movie on her laptop, she needed to watch prior to some discussions about it at the university tomorrow. She chose to do so in my bedroom where she would be undisturbed. – Wow. I knew that you were picky, but [...]

An Easy Move – Chapter 24

Relocation is not at the top of my favorite tasks. I’d rather do without all the hassle of packing things into boxes without getting them too heavy and having to make decisions on whether to throw stuff away or save it. When Liva moved, I was happy to keep the apartment and even achieve the [...]

A Big Decision – Chapter 23

It was both pleasant and sad to see Liva again. The feeling of security that we had built up through our marriage, has always left us with a special closeness to each other. I have a built-in loyalty and craving to protect her, which has survived the difficult time following our break. When she later [...]

Status – Chapter 22

To slightly paraphrase an old bon-mot, I can safely say that this is the last day of the first month of my project. I want three new women in my life and I choose to go for an exotic type, a soul mate and a fresh, maybe a little wild-at-heart. The latter mostly because I [...]

Mail From the Ex – Chapter 21

For the first time in many years, I do not look forward to going to bed and have the entire mattress to myself. Sabine has opted to go home, according to her quite plausible explanation that she has to get up very early tomorrow. My apartment seems empty and deserted, differently so than just one [...]

Boys’ Night Out – Chapter 20

I showed up to celebrate Daniel at the agreed pub around half past seven after a long afternoon with good advice on investments. As expected, the hard core drinkers remained, comprising birthday boy Daniel, and in addition Kasper, Mikkel and to my great joy also Laura, Daniel’s ex. They had been drinking for some hours, [...]

A Traditional Family – Chapter 19

The burger restaurant is located close to my office, so I stroll off late afternoon to meet with William. He sent me a text message earlier and recommended that we should meet already at 6PM because you cannot reserve a table. There is a better chance to be served without delay if we start a [...]

A Romantic Dinner – Chapter 18

Another day spent working from home – there are certain advantages to being your own boss. There is also a good side effect to having an exciting woman visit for dinner, my entire penthouse has been subjected to a very thorough cleaning. I have cleaned all the windows and even arranged fresh flowers, which only [...]

A Trip on the MC – Chapter 17

One of the joys of being the owner of a large motorcycle is the freedom to ride about on good roads in Denmark’s glorious scenery. I’ve also been around in Sweden and further down in Europe, but today I was content to stay on Zealand. This could easily become the last journey of the season [...]

Mental Searches – Chapter 16

What an annoying day. New problems with a software solution, which I was sure we had tested all the way. No matter how confident one can feel about the logic of computers, there will apparently always be teasing details. Sometimes it may be an incorrectly placed comma or a missing parenthesis – and that is [...]

The Fourth Date – Chapter 15

In the lakes of Copenhagen there aren’t many fish, but down at the French Café is one true swarm of ducks, gulls and swans. The municipal authorities have complained about all the people feeding bread to the birds, but to no avail. Evidently it is a die-hard tradition. My own incipient tradition of being on [...]

Hooked Already? – Chapter 14

Over the weekend I exchanged a good handful of text messages with Sabine, and we finally agreed to meet again this evening and go for a walk around the Citadel. She spends most of her time with books and watching movies as part of her studies, so I cannot help but be a bit envious: [...]

The Third Date – Chapter 13

In the absence of an espresso machine at home, I often enjoy to order this exquisite beverage, and preferably the double shot, when I’m at Theodor’s. I had only tasted one sip when I saw Karla make her entrance. And heard her high heels clicking as she approached my table. All of the other café [...]

The Second Date – Chapter 12

MASH was filled to the brim. I do not understand there is still talk of an economic crisis. This place is not cheap, and in addition to a full house and waiting customers at the bar, I noticed that everyone was dressed as for a gala. I was incredibly excited to meet Sabine while I [...]

A Different Kind of Marriage – Chapter 11

I first met Benjamin fifteen years ago. About ten years ago, he married a girl from the Philippines. Not the typical mail-order bride, she was already living in Denmark. For one reason or another, or maybe even more, I have always found their marriage a bit too exotic for my model. For instance, they mostly [...]

The First Date – Chapter 10

Sommersko keeps their good style. The first authentic café in the country, and despite periods of excessively arrogant staff and too many guests, I was pleasantly surprised and almost nostalgic, already when I entered the door a little to four this afternoon. A spontaneous impulse prompted me to order a Chablis instead of their Riesling [...]

Four Dates Planned – Chapter 9

The day has passed by preparing my motorcycle for the winter. You never know when the final trip of the year has suddenly come and gone, and I hate washing, waxing and polishing with my fingers freezing off. The bike is good for another ride or two this season, but if doesn’t happen until spring, [...]

New, But Old Father – Chapter 8

It has been awhile since I last spent an evening with good, old Nikolai. Fortunately, we can both be spontaneous, and this morning we agreed to meet for beers 4:30PM at the Berlin Bar. He lives nearby with his wife, Rosa, who became his girlfriend nearly three years ago when they met via, yes you [...]

An Exotic and a Fresh – Chapter 7

Is it just because autumn has arrived, or have the hours of today simply disappeared? Three meetings at work, one of which might lead to new business on the professional level, but my thoughts have constantly circled on my private project. I think Marie knows her gender well: The number of visitors to my profile [...]

Mail From a Real Catch – Chapter 6

It’s incredible how a full day at the office can pass by not getting stuff done, but at least I finally received input. From unexpected angles, but certainly appreciated. It started with an email from Marie, whom I curiously enough got to know several years ago, when I also had a dating profile online. At [...]

The First Response – Chapter 5

When I awoke this morning, I knew it was time to check whether there had been responses to my profile. But I postponed it a few hours and first put in a concentrated effort on a presentation I need for a client meeting next week. And because I worked at home today, I could take [...]

One Man and Two Women – Chapter 4

It is probably with good reason that someone once came up with the saying that the joy of expectance is the greatest. It soon became apparent that my fears about Ulrich’s need to talk were fully justified. Already as I was in the final stages of preparing dinner and we enjoyed time in the kitchen, [...]

Seeking Three Women – Chapter 3

The day began like any other working day: I jogged six kilometers around the lakes before I cycled to my shared office space downtown. We are a group of independent specialists in various areas of IT, communications and digital media, and we all benefit from each others’ skills. It fits me nicely being my own [...]

Club30 – Chapter 2

Just as I was about to create my online dating profile, I received a text message from my friend, Robert: “Come share a Barolo with me!” I don’t see Robert very frequently, although he recently moved into a cozy house just three streets away from my penthouse in Copenhagen. Robert has always radiated a self-confidence [...]

Surrounded by Girls at the Age of Ten – Chapter 1

Normally I do not need an apology or an explanation to grant myself a glass of cognac, but on this first night of the autumn, I can think of several reasons to enjoy the dark-golden alcohol. Firstly, as noted, it is now autumn. Secondly, I have just received an email from Elizabeth in which she [...]
