i over-analyze everything. i recently met a guy who is a good friend of one of my good friends. we were all out in a group and after drinking way too much, i ended up going home with this guy. we had amazing sex, i was very comfortable with him , and we really had a lot of fun. we were comfortable together the next morning, and he was even ready to have sex again. we laughed a lot, and talked about some personal stuff, but all in all it was just a drunk hook-up. we didn't exchange numbers or even talk about anything in terms of "what next" because we both know we will see each other at our mutual friend's wedding soon. we are both in our thirties and have "been there and done that" with all of this exhausting dating stuff. i can't explain it, i just felt an unusual connection with him. no one can predict the future, but i am looking for thoughts on the potential of an alcohol-induced hook-up turning into something meaningful. ironically, the couple whose wedding we are attending actually had a similar first meeting - drinking with friends and sleeping together the first night they met.

It can go either way.

How I met my husband was thru my best friend. The night I came over to his house (our house now) was to be introduced to him because my best friend said we would be perfect for each other and she knows we would get married. Guess what? We hung out all night, we clicked as you clicked with this guy. We did end up having sex that first night (wink, wink) and he being almost 11 yrs older was no big deal. That was almost 10 yrs ago! 8/10 yrs married and we now have 3 kids together. Follow your heart. We did ;)
