Oh good! Next time, don't drink as much -or at all- and maybe the sex will be better. |
Is sex ever great, the first time with a new partner? |
My now DW and I slept with each other after after first date. Not my normal MO but I had a crush on her for months and thought she was way out of my league so I thought this was my one and only chance. Sex was raw and magical. |
+1. "Good but not great sex"? Why are you pining that you lost this? Good but not great sex on the third date means you should probably move on. |

I knew my DH for almost three years before we had our first date. We were good friends but dating others but over time the better I got to know him the more attractive he became. I finally made the first move and we decided to have dinner at his place. I drove to his place with an overnight bag in my car just in case. I ended up using it. It was incredibly unlike me as I'd only been with a few guys before and never before the 4th or 5th date. |
First date. Married at one year mark. Now married 30 years. He still brings it up as apparently it made him very happy. ![]() |
My H didn't make a move sexually until we had been seeing each other for about two weeks. I thought maybe he was gay. Turned out he wasn't.
Fast forward through our marriage, turns out he had pretty low testosterone/sex drive. It was fine for like five years but then not so great. Some might think this is normal and/or he was getting some on the side, but the truth is he def has low drive and I don't so we ended up divorced. His low drive situation continued long after our divorce. |
That's sad. I'm sorry. |
Thank you but it's fine! He and I stayed friends and I got some majorly awesome sex after the divorce. And we didn't split up until after the kids were grown so even though that was a bit of a difficult drought for me I was glad my kids didn't have to go through the agony of divorce. |
Man here with a lot of experience. Yes, about half the time it was great with a new partner. |
+2. No chemistry, better to know now and move on. |
O.k. Good enough. You like him. Accept his explanation and go out with him again. That is pretty much a no brainer. Glad it worked out like this. Good luck! |
Op here. I didn't tell him I was worried. When he seen the text he said he felt bad and didn't want me to think he was blowing me off. I did assume but I've had this happen before and I thought maybe the same. I don't care what some of you say. We do have chemistry and I like him. Yes the we wasn't great but I had not that great sex with my ex time first time and he ended up being my best lover. I don't mind giving him another chance because we were drunk. Ok going to cautious but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. He has been nothing but a gentleman this entire time. He even texted me after or second date when I was worried about a job thing. He called and texted to ask me how things went, etc. I'm going to continue seeing him. |
How old are you two? |
