[quote=Anonymous]A couple years ago, I had two guys express interest. One was my hookup. He hadn’t been in a relationship in YEARS. I am not judging as my longest relationship is only 1.5 years and I am 32. The other guy, very marriage minded and very up front he wanted a relationship. Well, at that point in time, I was convinced I wanted a “traditional” relationship. I am a one person individual so I was up front with the hookup that I was seeing someone and it had ‘potential’ and I was all in...despite him reaching out several times.

I don’t know if it would have worked out with the hookup, but damn it has been a lingering ‘what if’ ever since I told him. Since I am a ‘one person’ person, I am annoyed I didn’t catch the red flag that he wasn’t out of my mind despite this new relationship and he never got out of my head throughout that relationship. We are very similar so I can also list out a hundred reasons why it would have probably not worked.

Then, I am like well that relationship taught you, you definitely don’t want a traditional relationship and likely don’t want to get married, so that was a good lesson to learn. Covid has further confirmed I have no desire to live with someone.

I was thinking about hookup dude today and guess who contacts me - the ex bf who I literally have no desire to ever get back with. He refuses to stay away and two years later, still pops up and wants another go. No dude, no.

There is (or was) just a chemistry with hookup guy that I have had with maybe one other person. It’s all very annoying and it doesn’t help that I am bored swiping through photo after photo on the apps.[/quote]
