(12,194 posts)Would you proceed on advances made by someone that doesn't light your fire, as a teenager?
I never did, and I was as hopped up sexually as any kid that ever walked the face of the planet, and probably way way more. Not every guy is as simple as wanting to 'nail' everything with 2 legs and a heartbeat, hell, I don't even believe most guys are that way.
Now in my 40s, I'd still like 'it' 4-6 times a day, but wouldn't like it at all, or want it, with someone I'm not attracted to. My SO half-jokes with me that I don't have a sex drive, I have a sex overdrive...and while that is more or less true, it is generally nonexistent when it comes to my own personal criteria not being met with a partner, first.
On edit: I'm pretty sure that the moral of the story, is this:
Be acutely aware of what you want and don't want in a partner, and don't shortchange yourself or prospective partners by settling for less, because you'll both end up unhappy sooner or later.
