That Sex Thread

[Cinjin]

My problem is that my experience in the world of single life is slim to none. A couple days ago I did hook up with a woman at a party that was visiting from out of state. Unfortunately, I was too drunk to really appreciate what had happened (and probably didn't perform to the best of my ability as a consequence). And today, for better or for worse, I took a chance by texting her for one last go around before she leaves (no beating around the bush). So far I've had no response and I doubt I will get any, but I'd like to get a consensus of sorts from members here as to the appropriateness of second-night stands. In this particular case, I perceived the risk as minimal as it's likely that I'll never see her again. But it's always good to get an outside opinion.

Since I would like to get into the hunt, so to speak, I have also set my sights on a coworker or two. This is bound to get a mixed response but I'd still like to hear what everyone thinks about that.

And finally, please share your thoughts or suggestions about the single life in general. I'm at a point in my life where I realize my window for such encounters is beginning to close (at least with any frequency) but have yet to truly enjoy it. I'm starved for it and my patience with myself is wearing rather thin.

First I'll say welcome. Than I'll say, no - I'm not praying for you. Than to the crux.

1. Why have a long distance partner especially when that partner prefers an open relationship?
(but that's a pointless debate - so consider that a rhetorical)
2. You're not going to get a call back from that woman. If you think that you performed poorly ... trust me, you did. Don't bother. Have some self-respect, let it be what it was and move on. Everybody has an offnight here and there. Besides, if she thinks that you didn't give a shit, you'll probably have a better chance if you do ever happen to run into her again. (Don't ask me why, people want things that don't want them).
3. It's usually (there are exceptions) not a good idea to dip your pen in the company ink. I'd stay away from those work relationships.
4. For whatever reason I've personally had the best luck with women at public events. ie. Fairs, Biker Meets, Concerts, Fireworks as opposed to bars and clubs.

Just my humble opinion.
