I probably shouldn't admit this.
When I dated, If I had intimacy, it was for the pleasure of it. I knew that I would have no relationship with him nor he with me. I had three short term relationships of that nature. Just hanging out. Purely stealth. Non of them were serious.
But when I did start to have emotions tingle at my heart strings for my soon to be ex and he was always telling me how much he loved me, I knew I must tell him before we ever became intimate.
