Used For Sex
Posted: 10-16-06 16:16pm

Has anyone else been in a situation where they felt like they were used for sex? When is too soon to sleep with someone? What are you supposed to do when a guy doesn't call you after you slept with him??

I think this happens to most people at some point.

There is no set time to wait for sex but if it starts off from the word go as being a sexual fling chances are it will stay that way. Obviously this isnt always the case, I have had a relationship after sex on the first date.

To avoid feeling awful best thing is to forget about it move on and make note to self to think seriously next time. If you had a million dollars you wouldnt just hand it to anyone after knowing them for a few hours, a day, week or month you'd want to get toknow them first and you are worth more than that!!! Smile save it for someone who deserves it & dont beat yourself up over it.

I Know How You Feel...

I met this girl in a writing class I had freshman year of college. We talked a little, but never really hung out. Then on the last day of the quarter, my writing class had a barbecue. While at the barbecue this girl started to hit on me. I wasn't expecting this because she's so out of my league. I mean seriously. I don't think i'm ugly or anything(despite the screen name), but I didn't even consider trying to pick up this girl because, frankly, I was intimidated by her looks.

So, when she started hitting on me you can imagine my surprise. It was an interesting night, but I didn't think anything would come of it. The quarter ended and I forgot about the whole thing. But when we came back in the winter, we crossed paths again. She shared the same hometown with my roommate at the time and they hung out every once in a while.

She renewed her interest in me and I proceeded with caution. I had just gotten out of a really serious relationship that ended pretty badly (for me). I didn't really want anything to do with women at the time, but she seemed nice. And fun. And I needed that, or so I thought, to get out and do things.

So we saw each other a few times. I commented to a friend at about this time that I felt like she was "hunting" me because she seemed to pursue me with such vigor, yet for what seemed to be no reason -- again I still didn't think I was good enough/attractive enough for her. So after seeing each othera few more times we ended up sleeping together.

Now I don't know what happened really after this point. Basically we hung out a few more times and fooled around etc. We weren't dating exclusively but I felt like we had a connection of some sort. But one day she just got extremely flakey. She stopped calling me, and I got tired of leaving messages only to get hurried messages or calls back days later with nothing but apologies. So, I stopped calling her.

I feel like she used me for sex, and I don't know why she would do that. If she just wanted to sleep with me a few times and that was that, she could have said so. I wouldn't have tried to get to know her, opened up to her, and I wouldn't have had any other feelings for her than lustful ones.

The point is that, yes, I know how you feel! It really hurt me too. But know this, while sex is very personal, it isn't the end all be all. It doesn't define you as a person. Your sexuality, sexual needs, limits, and morals are just one aspect of yourself.

The person above has some great advise so listen to them!

Best wishes
