I've had nine sex partners.
1) First girlfriend at age 25. We dated nine months though three months into it I realized we wouldn't last.
2) As a rebound, three months later I hooked up with someone at my best friend's wedding.
3) Didn't get laid for about a year after that, and started dating a woman who I went crazy for. Maybe it was the sexual frustration talking, but I doubt it; she was really, really cool. Third date we got drunk and had sex for ten seconds until she said, "Wait stop! We hardly know each other." "OK..." It lasted longer than three pumps, so it counts. We broke up two months later without having sex again. There wasn't a deep enough connection to take it to that level again, according to her.
4) Had sex with a college friend who was visiting me. Neither of us really enjoyed the sex.
5) Met a girl through another site, and after hanging out a few times, we boned and began a confusing friend-with-benefits relationship that lasted 18 months. Other than #9, by far the most attractive person I've ever had sex with. Too bad she's dumb as a doornail. : (
6) About 15 months into our "relationship", I hooked up with one other random stranger I met on OKC while at a conference.
7) Had sex with a married woman a few months ago. I'm still seeing her. In my defense, she's in an open relationship, but me, she hasn't told her husband about me. They've cheated on each other prior to getting into an open relationship. I don't even know what to think.
8) Boned a colleague a few weeks ago.
9) This week, I met an amazing girl who is also crazy for me. She is hot, and she is interesting. In all likelihood I'm moving out of the area in a month.
I've dated a few other women who I didn't have sex with. Only one of them I wish I'd dated a little longer, but when I tried to kiss her on the third date, she hesitated and said, "I don't know if I feel that way about you...yet." I took it as rejection, but I wish I'd gotten to know her a little more. Something could have developed. I know she found me attractive because on our first date at the local coffee shop, when she first saw me, her eyes widened and she gasped ever so silently. At the time my photos weren't very good. I looked way better than my photos. Anyway, at the time I felt like with OKC if you don't bone really fast, there's nothing holding you two together. We did have some pretty major common interests, good conversation, but she was online all the time -- her profile was public -- and I thought she'd ditch me for the competition. Now that I'm older and wiser, I don't think that would've happened, but what can you do. You can't turn back time.
So that's my history. If you're asking, "How does dating work for you, logistically?" well you tell me. I can't find a pattern.
