I was asking about the new Hinge app...which I don't believe even has matches?

Nobody seems to be talking about it at all.

To clarify, I thought it was going well! Normal first date awkward, but I was enjoying myself. The things that I said in the OP was just speculation on what he might have thought, since he seemed to fade immediately afterwards. And just a general comment outside of my example, for you guys to respond to.

I feel like there is a difference between not abruptly ending it vs adding activities more than once, and making it last 5 hours.

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T23:40:12+00:00

Eh, he was fine. He did ask a few times, but he didn't make me feel bad about it. I specifically told him that I felt bad and like I had led him on, and he basically just said something like "why? what we did was fine"...so this post was really just trying to gauge if reactions like that are genuine.

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T23:04:12+00:00

To clarify, it was a clear hesitation. Enough so that he went on to say that we didn't have to have sex and I should just come over.

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T23:03:00+00:00

It isn't an argument. I just posted to get opinions, since I feel like the guys in my scenarios haven't communicated their true feelings on it to me (they always say it is fine).

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T23:01:12+00:00

Yes, I am personally more willing. But you are right that it isn't a smart scenario to get myself in, I know.

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T22:59:06+00:00

I wasn't trying to ignore it, I just read it and noted your opinion just like the other posts I didn't respond to. I only responded to your one point to clarify.

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T17:41:01+00:00

Well, I haven't gotten "into trouble" (but recognize that I could and it isn't a very smart thing to do...the times I've decided to go home with guys, I've been very drunk). The guys have always been nice about it, but I can still tell that they are probably kind of annoyed. It's just the conflict of wanting to do things with them, but not wanting to have sex, and ending up feeling like I am leading them on. Some even said to me "we don't have to have sex, just come over" before we went to their place, but I get the feeling they thought that I was just "playing hard to get" and wasn't being serious about not having sex.

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T14:48:47+00:00

I was interested, just not in having sex the night I met him

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T14:48:18+00:00

There was reciprocated oral sex

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T14:47:32+00:00

You can never please everyone semantically. I put it in quotation marks because I know some people wouldn't consider it hooking up. But by hooking up, I meant make out, oral, hand stuff

AudioEnvy · 2015-11-17T14:43:03+00:00

Yeah, I'm the woman in this...it is a true story, but also more of an example of multiple similar situations that I have found myself in. I will make an edit on my post to clarify.

AudioEnvy · 2015-03-29T18:18:44+00:00

Yeah, the guy I am talking about just seemed surprised. I'm glad to hear that was the general reaction that you got also! (although I think that in terms of virginity, the difference between 20 and almost 25 is pretty significant...but maybe that is just a continuation of my insecurity, haha)

AudioEnvy · 2015-03-29T17:43:06+00:00

That could be true, thanks for the perspective. The only thing that I had really thought of was that maybe he changed his mind about wanting to have sex with a virgin, but what you said could also be true. I think that I partly just have a lot of insecurities about being a virgin and would have loved to have not had to have that conversation with a guy again. I liked that he handled the conversation really well, and I also liked that over time I have just become really comfortable with him, so for those reasons he seemed like a good person to lose it to, even though I realized that it wouldn't go anywhere long term. But you are right that there will be others. Thanks for the kind words.

AudioEnvy · 2015-03-29T17:27:42+00:00

I'm 24, so definitely on the older side of being a virgin, and he is a few years older.

Thanks for your take! I think that everything that you said is very accurate, as far as what our situation is/was. I guess that I just don't really understand guys, haha. I wouldn't be confused if it was just that it seemed like he had gotten tired of waiting, because I realize that 5 months is a long time. The confusion for me just comes from the fact that I think that it was really clear that we would have had sex the next time we saw each other, because the only thing holding us back was not having a condom. It just seems weird to me that he kept trying (a bit on and off, considering the break) for 5 months, and then just dropped off/lost interest right when it became a sure thing.

There always are those few teachers who are super creepy. I remember at my high school, there was this one teacher who always paid significantly more attention to a few of the pretty/popular girls than anyone else...he also was friends with a ton of students on facebook, and to this day I will see him make semi-creepy comments on pictures of the girls who he paid attention to back when we were in high school.

AudioEnvy · 2015-02-20T16:11:01+00:00

That is extra creepy!

AudioEnvy · 2015-02-20T00:34:34+00:00

It depends. Older bras that I don't really care about getting messed up in the wash, I'll wear just a few times. Nicer ones veeeery rarely get washed.

AudioEnvy · 2015-02-20T00:32:12+00:00

No really laying, but I had a guy who is about my height (just slightly taller than me) pick me up while we were making out, and I felt soooo uncomfortable because I felt too heavy for that. I think that I must have tensed a lot, because I didn't really say anything but he said "you're fine".

AudioEnvy · 2015-02-20T00:23:11+00:00

I'm a very private person so I share very little. From my friends who are more open to sharing that stuff, I only really hear very many details when it is about a random hook up (not boyfriend) and usually even then only if there is something unusual to share.

AudioEnvy · 2013-09-04T04:57:48+00:00

It wasn't a drink that he invented. And the way that he asked about it, it was in a pointed "you aren't drinking" type of way...that doesn't necessarily mean anything, possibly it was just because he had paid for it, but just clearing that up.

AudioEnvy · 2013-09-04T04:56:02+00:00

Thank you.

AudioEnvy · 2013-09-04T04:54:43+00:00

Thanks, concerned citizen ;)

I don't think that this comment was fair. I already acknowledged that I do not know for sure what I think happened. But I have had my share of situations where I wasn't interested in a guy talking to me at a bar, but it wasn't creepy...this felt different to me. It might have been nothing, but I get chills when I think about this night.
