How do I navigate having met an awesome woman but at the same time feeling left out of the hookup culture?
I never got to have a wild, hookup phase. I just found out my work crush is having sex with this new dude whos a total player hooking up with all the women. Stuff like that makes me devastated, I felt so bothered by it. I wanna have experienced it too, get it out of my system so it doesn't bother me anymore.
At the same time, I don't seem to be seen as a hookup material by women, they see me as a "good guy" boyfriend material.
I met a woman who's a really awesome person but I'm conflicted because she is looking for a good guy, a solid dude while in the back of my mind I don't know if I'd be satisfied just by her. I don't wanna get into a relationship with her, then 2 years down the road realize that I want other women. I don't know if I will feel that way or not.
I really want to just sleep around like crazy but I can't afford to do it because A) I'm seen as a "good guy". I can't help it. This is not a humble brag but I'm not ruthless enough to be hookup material and B) Maybe im not attractive enough
