Did this guy dump me because I didn’t go over to his place at 1am to give him oral even after I told him he should let me know when he is free?

Why not?  That's who most women go to with their love problems.  They know you better than complete strangers on forums.

So, you are saying he "changed" his mind in 24 hours? Because when we had our convo text-he was saying stuff like how he still wanted me, we were going to do other sexual things, I even told him to text me when he is free, he said he will. I mean, why even say it in the first place? 

Because that conversation happened in the heat of the moment when he was horny.  Because you are not his girlfriend or special to him, he easily forgot about it or later after he thought about it, he got turned off by how easy you were.

Why can't they flat out say they don't want to do it anymore? That's what I'm saying. 

Because men don't really like hurting women's feelings.  They hope their silence will send the message to the woman that they are not interested.

Are you saying the next time I go on a date,  and the guy tells me he will text me, we should do this again sometime, or make plans, then I hear NOTHING, that's acceptable? I shouldn't get my hopes up and get excited? I should show a poker face-guys will see my body language and I will come off as not interested. I should hope for nothing and still keep my options open?

What you should do is wait until they set a day and time for the date, then get excited.  Otherwise it's just talk.  I would also advise you not to put all of your eggs in one basket.  Since you like hook ups, I would advise you use protection and not depend on one guy for your hook up.  As you can see you caught feelings from it with this guy.  Chose men who are more eager to hook up with you rather than the other way around.

We don't know you. 

People who know you in real life can guide you much more effectively.

Have you got any close male friends? What's your social life like?

Yes, female friends discuss their love lives...the good, the bad and the ugly.  And our friends are there for us with hugs and advice

People on online forums can't give great advice because we can't see the big picture of your interactions

I don't have any male friends. I don't have a social life. I go to events alone, even go on trips alone, if I can't find anyone to go with, why would I wait all my life for other people? Only for them to flake out last minute--which has happened before. I'm a solo gal. The only places I don't go alone would be bars or clubs. 

I've done meet-ups before covid, Even though I met a few nice gals there, it just seemed they were all cliquey with the other gals who had been going to those same meetups for months. I haven't gone to another meetup since then. I was thinking of going again, but I don't want to run into the same problem. Sure, they are "friendly," but to make friends is a whole other story.

Who suggested you should? 

I also often travel solo, and  I have an active social life. The two aren't mutually exclusive. The reason I asked is because the way you have attached yourself to this fleeting and random interaction made me wonder if you are otherwise quite socially isolated.

Could you define date vs hookup? 

People have sex on the first meeting all the time; this isn't 1950 anymore, where women don't have sex with a guy they are seeing until marriage. 

I mean, you literally called it a hookup in your opening post, but in later posts you describe it as dating.

So the question really is: What's YOUR definition of a hookup? Because it doesn't sound like you understand what the term usually means.

Edit: I just read the last page. It's actually fairly common to develop feelings after having sex. Many of us do, and that's why we don't do hookups - because we know we might get attached. 

You can't just have a hookup and then expect the other person to automatically develop feelings for you. It's likely that hookups just aren't right for you, and that's okay.

@Onxy when you're out there on dating apps, what exactly are you looking for?   If you want more than sex, would you like some pointers as to how to go about finding an actual boyfriend?  

For starters, suggesting a first date at his place just screams "hookup" and a guy will never see you as anything else.  There are better ways to go about this

Yes, I want more sex and some pointers on how to find a boyfriend. 

For dating, how many dates will it take for the sex to happen then? I want to feel desired and for the guy to find me sexually attractive and want him to jump by bones. If I'm just having a conversation with a guy, then that doesn't even mean anything to me. That's just means being friends with a guy and nothing else. I have conversations with male coworkers at work-is that what dating with no sex is like? Boring and dull?

It sounds like you do like sex and don't like people.   Thing is though, if you want a boyfriend, you need to enjoy the company of other people.  Sure, there are some people out there who are unpleasant or boring, but a whole lot of people who are friendly and nice.   And when a when a man and woman find each other and really enjoy each other's company, they will become boyfriend and girlfriend and have sex.  They may also have sex before being boyfriend and girlfriend, but for it to progress, they MUST like each other.

In all honesty, given you have no friends and have nothing positive to say about being in the company of others, I strongly recommend speaking to a psychologist. I don't know if you've got trauma in your past (sexual abuse?) or perhaps have a social skill disorder... but there is something going on here and you need professional help.  It could change your life!

Not at all, no.

I agree with this suggestion. 

You won't be able to find a boyfriend when you're this defensive and bitter about people in general, OP.

You’re literally saying that what you want is to have a casual f*** buddy. Because “conversations mean nothing to me” literally means “I only want sex”.

And then you say that you want a boyfriend. Which, by definition, involves conversation.

First you tell a guy you met on a casual hookup website to have a casual hookup without even first going to a bar.

And then you say that you caught feelings for your one hookup guy and expect him to develop feelings for you as well.

So which is it?  You can’t have both. A f*** buddy won’t have feelings for you, which you seemingly crave. A boyfriend won’t agree to just keep “jumping your bones” without having conversations and dates and getting to know each other and everything else that boyfriends and girlfriends do, which you dismiss as undesirable.

I don't know...what I want. I want to feel desired by guys, and I want affection. Dating apps seem to be good for finding something quickly. Finding a boyfriend is hard these days. Its like not having a boyfriend means the sex department no longer exists. Having a boyfriend all boils down to compatibility, interests, vibes, etc, etc. So, I'm supposed to use sex toys in place of men?  And no, I've never been sexually abused. I was an ugly duckling throughout middle school-high school where NO guys wanted me or looked my way while the other pretty girls peaked early, and all the guys wanted them. And when I got older I improved my looks, that's when guys finally started noticing me, and on the apps-some of the guys that were football players or star athletes complimented me on my looks,  hence all the hook ups that I did because I never got the attention before.

Nobody here is accusing you of immorality or anything like that. There is nothing wrong with consensual casual sex. You don’t need to be defensive about that if all you want is just a hookup. But you said it yourself, you don’t know what you want. You are saying you want affection, but you won’t get much of it from one night stands.

You’ve got your validation from men, now you know that you’re sexually desirable. Maybe it’s time to up the ante and aim for loftier goals. Try dating and romance instead of mere hookups.
