Did i do something wrong

singularitypls January 17th, 2022

The past year I’ve been active on dating apps to fill thus void of loneliness after a bad breakup, and I’m used to guys asking to see me again after a date and hookup, but the past 2 guys I slept with never asked to see me again. On both occasions I chatted with them for some time before meeting. And on both occasions I ended up sleeping with them at their place. I know, I sound impulsive and people would call that slu*tty, but I’m trying to live out my youth while I still can and I could count my past sexual partners in one hand. I’m just wondering what could be different. I still look the same as before. And the last guy said he hadn’t been on a proper date in two years and that he was having a great time. It’s not that I’m interested in either of them, because I thought they were too much of a “bro”. I’m just confused

@singularitypls I mean if you are on a hookup app where people just want to hookup and nothing serious, why are you surprised they don't want a second date? If you feel you now are more ready for a dating situation where you at least go on a couple dates, then be upfront about that and probably try an app for dating like Hinge or match

Hi! @singularitypls

I agree with the other commenter. You're not doing something wrong per se, but there is a better way to go about this. Making your intentions clear from the start can help you secure guys who feel the same way. And there's nothing wrong with having sex safely if you want to do that, but sometimes doing so too early creates the assumption that that's all you wanted, or you end up attracted people who only wanted that. So I'd just try to be upfront from the beginning: willing to have sex when ready, but want to actually date some people too.

Good luck! Dating is not easy, and I hope you don't get discouraged along the way.
