Can't stop thinking about guy I had a ONS with

No judgement needed please.. I've never had a ONS before and I guess this is classed as one and it's a little bit hard to explain briefly..

So, rewind a couple of weeks ago I bump into this guy who I've fancied for ages. We got on well, was quite flirty etc, we ended up kissing and then going back to his and sleeping together. Which was absolutely great.. my problem now is I can't stop thinking about him.

A couple weeks prior to this ons.. I actually went on a first date with someone. The person I went on a date with, the ONS guy knows, they are kind of friends.

But my problem is, I don't want to go on another date with this guy. So I won't. But I didn't make that clear to ONS guy. So he probably is thinking it was a quick hook up; and that I'm going to go on another date with this guy he knows.

He knows I went on a first date with this guy he knows prior to sleeping together.

Yeah it was a nice enough date, but that's all it was. Where as I've felt this sexual tension between me and ONS guy for ages now.. he admitted he has felt that too but is skeptical to get to know anyone due to past heartbreak so purposely kept his distance prior.

I NEVER had any idea he even found me attractive.. so when his friend asked me for a date, I thought well I guess there is no harm in just having a drink and seeing if we get on.. it's been months and months since i first met the ONS guy that I fancy.. so I kinda convinced myself I had to push the ONS guy to the back of my mind and get over the fact I fancied him as I thought he was so uninterested.

What I'm trying to say is, I'd love for there to maybe be something with ONS guy.. but I don't know how to tell if he would want the same? I don't know if he would knowing his friend likes me? But it didn't stop him sleeping with me? Honestly, the chemistry was just amazing. I haven't fancied someone this much in years so I just feel like I have no idea how to go about this.

Do I just tell him that it's not worked out with his acquaintance and that I can't stop thinking about him? Do I just take a step back entirely and hope that he eventually hears things didn't work out with his acquaintance and see if he reaches out? Like it was only one date? Surely that's not classed as being that deep? I know people who date and sleep with multiple people (no judgement)
I'm 100% fine that we both went into it expecting it to be a one night stand. This isn't me saying I've fallen for him or have strong feelings. It's me saying wow; that was amazing and I'd love to do it again, and again, and who knows.. see where it goes if we're both interested in each other! But I don't know if he just saw it as a quick ONS with a girl he finds pretty: or whether he even enjoyed it and would do it again.. or whether he regrets it.. argh! Help. My brain just doesn't know what to do!

@AutumnLeaves24 I think the first move has already been made, bit late for that.

no idea why you've chosen my post to comment on? But it was over 24 hours ago.

I would leave first date guy your not feeling it. Contact ons guy and see if he would fancy round 2? It could be a sex thing but may lead to more…

MorrisZapp · 18/10/2024 12:44

Yeah been through all this back in the day. The answer is if you message him or strategically bump into him in the pub, you may well get another shag. But then it's back to square one, rinse and repeat.

No man on earth who wants to be with a woman he's already had sex with is too shy/frightened/scared of his feelings to ask her out asap.

Fleurchamp · 18/10/2024 13:10

Hmm I would question why he has hooked up with you after you have gone on a date with his mate. Sorry if I am wrong here but I feel I know this page of the playbook.

You knew him before but nothing happened. Then you went on a date with his mate.

I have known a few men like this, compete with their friends. Want to be top dog. Be able to say they have sh*gged their girlfriend.

I am old now but I met my now DH through a work colleague. Said work colleague was very handsome and he knew it. Had all the women in the office wrapped around his little finger. I am distinctly average and he never even knew I existed..... until I met his friend at some after work drinks and we started dating. I would get emails and private messages all day at work, just chatty, nothing salacious (albeit very clear it could turn that way if I wanted it to) but he couldn't stand a friend of his getting attention from a woman who he wasn't - he had zero interest in me, he just wanted to one-up a mate.

He has got what he wanted now and that's it, I doubt you will hear from him again.

LostittoBostik · 18/10/2024 13:12

What's the problem here? You're all single and nobody is leading anyone on/being duplicitous.
Friendzone the date guy and be honest if he asks - say he's lovely but you're not feeling any chemistry.
Ask ONS out for a drink.

LostittoBostik · 18/10/2024 13:25

For all you know his comments about "date him, he's nice" could be face saving because he feels the same way as you after the amazing ONS

Could maybe be a possibility! I kinda hope.. especially as he obviously would think I'm interested in the guy I went on a date with as I didn't say I wasn't, and I said I felt bad on the guy I went on a date with as ONS is not what I have ever done.. I usually would date someone and only one person, have never dated multiple people at once.. albeit it was one date. But I didn't go into detail, I just said I felt bad..
he's not exactly going to turn round to me when all there is between us is physical attraction and a good ONS and try claim me if he thinks I'm going to pursue it with the guy I went for a drink with? IMO? Idk.. maybe some would but he doesn't strike me as that sort of person.. as the whole 'I've been heart broken' 'typical player line' thing is actually true. As I know his mutual friends and know this story is true. He was hurt a couple of years ago.

Only way I'll know is ask.. but I think I'll leave it a while if I do.. I don't know!

Just ask, you've got nothing to lose, a possible gain, and who would mind someone contacting them. Take a risk, at least you'll know and it's not a big deal really.

@canyouletthedogoutplease

no idea why you've chosen my post to comment on? But it was over 24 hours ago.

I think this is how it works, you can reply to people's posts and comment on them with your own take on the matter. I was replying to yours which suggested OP should make the first move, by saying that ship might have sailed. Sorry if the 24 hour time delay confused you, I didn't know that was the deadline.

PeachyKeane · 24/10/2024 15:30

@cluelessgirly what did you do in the end? Am in a similar situation and interested.....

coolkatt · 24/10/2024 16:02

Totally invested in this op, what happened? Did u contact him? Please say u did!! lol

Kat888 · 24/10/2024 17:18

@cluelessgirly we need you back.. what happened?

cluelessgirly · 28/10/2024 11:09

Sorry I didn't check this post!

So update.. I haven't contacted him, no. :(
I haven't bumped into him.. he's been on my mind but he's also not contacted me.

I'm thinking maybe seeing what the vibe is like when we are next round each other and go from there! Who knows 🤦🏻‍♀️ it's so hard to know what to do..
