Well, I'd have to admit that I've participated in my share of sexual escapades. I'm definitely no angel. Over the years I've woken up on the West side, the East side, Brooklyn, Queens, Fire Island, the suburbs of Rochester and even random places in Europe (let's not go there). But I think a lot of the time I've been looking for something more than a one-night-stand. Sure, there are those times that you know what's about to happen isn't going anywhere. But, many times you can tell it is mutual and you don't feel guilty parting your ways in the morning (or before that if the apartment warrants an early escape). There are even those times when you're out with friends, pretty lit-up, or on holiday, and you feel like a little random rubbing. We've all been there.

But I can honestly say that a majority of the time I am hoping that this is going to be the one. Sounds pathetic right? I guess it is a bit. But I am serious! Is that asking too much? Is dating really that horrible? Am I really not the marrying kind? Not even the kind for a second date? Do people ever 'hit it off' anymore? In the past three months I've been down the same road over and over again. One night with someone special turns out to be just that, one night. Are we all so desperate to spread our seed around that we won't even consider something more? And just to note, all of these experiences are not the result of drunken nights in bars, so save that comment!

Now, I know it's not that easy. I've broken some hearts in my day too. But, I have a two date rule. I'm at least willing to give it a bit of a go. If still nothing jumps out at me after those two dates, it is usually safe to call it quits. I think it is a nice rule. How can you really tell after just one night? (of course there are exceptions, e.g. the person already has a picture of you in their apartment and you've never met)

I guess the worst part of all of it is that these experiences are rarely ever completely random or cold feeling at the time. Many times I can tell if someone isn't interested in anything more than sex. I can gauge those cold touches and that early morning scrambling. But those chronic cuddlers? (damn the cuddlers) Those ones who want to get breakfast? The ones who want to flirt in the morning and tell you their life story. The ones who want to tickle you? THOSE my friend, I do not get. What the f*ck is up with that seriously? I don't cuddle with my one-night-stands! It's poor practice.

Well, girl has had it. I may not be with best candidate to be someones boyfriend but I'm willing to give it a go, with the right person. Breeze buys need not apply, because I'm done. This milk is no longer free.
