Why I can't have a one-night stand

I know it’s a little ridiculous to complain about my lack of one-night stands when I have some fulfilling romantic experiences under my belt, but I can’t help but think I’m missing out on some important life lessons that come with having one-night stands.

2) I simply can’t separate feelings and sex. If I hook up with someone, there’s a 99.99 per cent chance I have feelings for him.

3) Because if aloofness is required to ensure a sexual encounter is a one-night stand, I simply can’t provide that.

4) I thrive on self-disclosure, and that becomes even more amplified when I go out and put a little alcohol in my system.

5) I love asking people questions about their past, what makes them tick, some event in their lives that hurt them the most.

6) I love getting to the root of people’s existences and learning everything about them. This means I automatically establish some kind of emotional connection with a guy before I even get in bed with him.

7) It’s my desire to see the humanity in every human being that has probably prevented me from ever having a one-night stand.

8) Before I know it, I’ll be gabbing to my girlfriends about how great he is, Pinteresting my wedding dress and fantasizing about our life together in our shared apartment.
