Love versus Sexual Partner

[Wild Flower]

This past weekend, I had 4 dates (all the guys bought me either a dinner or wine). Okay out of the 4, only 2 were worthy of me dating again, and the last one was the best because he really was nice.  And to be honest, they are all memories because besides the two duds, are just visiting the area.

I was thinking today, everyone we know and meet will eventually be a memory until we ourselves are just memory.

If you ever see a sexual partner in life, do you feel a connection to them. Or is it dead once the act is over. And does the sexual attraction play a big role for love?

Idk I've been hooking up wit the same guy for a year and I really like him but the thing that drawed me to him first was cause he was the hottest guy I've laid eyes on, but after so long I developed heavy feelings but yet he can't give me a relationship cause he dosnt want a gf but no matter how much we try to move on from eachother we keep hooking up.

"Wild Flower" says a lot. Me.... Hopeless romantic. The concept of sex with someone I do not have very strong feelings towards is as foreign to me as speaking Thai is to this Jersey Girl.

Before I got married, I had casual sex a few times.  Every single time, I got attached and a relationship ensued.  We all work a little different.

I *really* love this thought, beautifully put. Mind if I borrow it?

Nope. Most likely not. And even if it happens it wouldn't be a strong connection/feeling.

And does the sexual attraction play a big role for love?

Yes. For me this is very much needed in the first stages.
