Randomly met a guy on a trip out of town, wasn’t looking for anything, we hooked up twice during the trip - now I’m here & he’s there. What happens next? Time to book another trip? Im new to this...

My advice - If he’s interested in you, you’ll know. If not, you’ll be confused. Give it some time. Use this time away to understand/gauge him. In the end, do what makes you happy.

For what it’s worth, my “random ONS from vacation” is still in touch nearly 2 months later and I’m still unclear on the endgame. Not feasible for us to meet up right now, though.

Did he explicitly invite you back?

Did y’all talk about what happens next? Exchange contact info? Any indications whatsoever that the hookup was anything more than just that?

If he contacts you and talks about you coming back, go for it! Or you could always reach out to him to see what’s up. I wouldn’t be planning anything right now, though.

How often have you been in touch?

Would only plan a trip if you’ve been consistently talking and deepening your connection since then

Great advice. I’m ultimately confused because our meeting was so random. I thought he was attractive but didn’t intentionally give off the signal to connect and get together although he says I did (I told him about a networking event, that’s all!) Somehow he took that as a sign that I was interested and next thing I know - well, here I am, lol. 😂 Conversation was light, professional and friendly in my eyes. Debriefing it out now sounds like it was pretty much a casual fling. I should probably let things be and move on.

Do what makes you happy but don’t set yourself up for hurt. As long as you have a control on your expectations, you’ll be fine :). We’ve all been there!

Hi ladies! Need your opinion and advice on a slightly awkward topic
I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean
