We hooked up, now what?

Hello,

I've worked with this guy for the past few months and I thought he was really hot when I first saw him after he started working at my place. We started following each other on Instagram then in January we started direct messaging after liking each others stories and having a lot in common. Things really ramped up and we talked a lot and then our chat turned very flirty and it's been like that ever since. We started chatting on snapchat every day and agreed we would hook up for sex. I was happy with that plan. We chatted about how we hoped to make it a regular thing. We also talked about non-sex related topics too.

We eventually hooked up this week however we both seemed to have our guards up a bit and although the sex was fun he came quite quickly, we both knew he would because he was super horny. Anyways, afterwards we agreed it was worth the wait but things just turned a bit cold. I felt that I didn't say much because I was keeping my guard up and I got the same impression from him. I left not long after and he messaged me pretty much straight away to ask if I had a good time. We both agreed that we had no regrets and it was fun although he laughed about his poor performance (coming too quickly) which I reassured him it was far from poor.

He has since messaged me purely through Instagram just random links to prompt a few conversations but it's not like it was before we hooked up. It's been non-flirty and we haven't, or shall I say, he hasn't brought up the sex we had since we messaged after it had happened. It's been 3 days now and I want to message him about it and how I felt that I had my guard up but I don't know if I'm coming across as needy? Any advice would be great, thanks! Like I said we have chatted every day since just not about the hookup.

@Persephoneandlife

Are you quite young? because try not to take this the wrong way but you are being a bit naive.

The guy only saw you as a hook up from the start. He is not suddenly going to turn into anything else.

It also sounds like now that he got what he wanted, he is not interested in doing it again. Either because he is embarrassed by his performance or just did not feel like he enjoyed it that much.

He has clearly moved your conversations back to work issues and polite exchanges.

Take this a learning opportunity and move on: having casual sex with someone you work with is often not a good idea and most men once they have put you in the 'hook-up category' won't want to have a real relationship with you.

^^ This, sorry

I don't know. You only had sex a couple of days ago. I think loads of normal guys don't reach out to talk about sex when they have just had it. Is he being friendly, asking questions? I'd play it by ear a bit and see how it goes, personally.

Oh - obviously if you have been acting like it's a hookup it is one... he will be in touch to hook up, unless the sex was embarrassing due to the premature ejaculation maybe.

If there's more to it, you'll know over time. Can't tell whether that's what you want.

How would he tell the same story if he was on this board? Do you think he might also be feeling you aren't so interested, and he doesn't want to appear desperate?

Are you acting the same as ever, or have you cooled?

If you want equal control and respect of a relationship, act like it. Don't wait to be asked.
