Well, I answered "A," but that is not quite true. I've actually been on both sides of the question.
When I was young, I was looking for that special someone. Even as a hormonal teenager, I was sure that my steady girlfriend - the one to who I lost my virginity at age 16, she lost her's age 15 - was the girl I was going to marry, have babies with and get the house with a white picket fence in the suburbs.
Of course, that did not happen. (Though it is not unknown, my brother married his high school sweetheart and they live happily ever after.) Then through college and on to my early career years.
Then I met this one gal and we hit it off. I was, a friend joked at the time, like a girl. Practically planning the dream wedding and our life together. Then she got pregnant - and I was wildly happy about that - and had an abortion and it is not too much to say that it shattered me.
Everything that I thought about women and families and all the rest went out the window and it is not too much to say that for the next couple of decades, I just did not care. It was an odd reaction, but I would hook up with any woman who I wanted and who was willing. I even did a few really off the wall things like a threesome.
Then I met this gal at a business meeting. Again, it is not too much to say that I could not take my eyes off of her. Still, I was hot and cold and was generally stand-offish. That in itself pretty unusual given my behavior of the last 20 years or so.
Then she started coming to my office and dropping off information for me that she could have easily e-mailed to me. She would invite me to business lunches - first group then one-on-one - and then dinners. Then one day,. dense as I was, it hit me. "Hey, this girl likes me!!"
There were still bumps. aand rough patches along the way, but the rest, as they say, is history. We are not married - by choice. We are actually pretty traditional but somehow the idea of an expensive ring, a big party and a permission slip from the state just diminished what we share. (The religious aspect - we are Catholic - we do wrestle with a bit.) We have been together over a decade and have three little Munchkins - two boys, 9,8 and my little princess, age 6 - and they and my girlfriend are the center of my universe. I have never been happier and I love them with all my heart, so I am back to Option B - only instead of looking, I wake up every morning with her next to me.
There is a postscript though dating back to my "wild and crazy days." Recently - about 5 months ago or so - I was contacted by a woman that I had what amounted to a one night stand with. Honestly, I did not know her well, but we had sex - and it turns out that I got her pregnant and I now have a 14 year old son that I did not know I had.
CONT.
She never told me and raised my son by herself but recently decided that I ought to know that I had a child and so she looked me up, found me, and informed me. A medical test confirms that I am the father, and frankly, I could not be more proud. He is a good kid, good in school, clean cut. The only stipulation this woman made was that if I wanted to meet my son, I could not tell him that I was his father. She raised him on her own and she wants him to have a normal high school and college experience without the - to use her word - "melodrama" of having a father in his life and meeting his half siblings and all the rest. Reluctantly, I know I could legally challenge it, but I agreed. As I say, I have met him and he is a great kid. Whatever my reservations, his mom may have a point and so while I struggle with it - and my girlfriend has been amazingly supportive - I decided to leave things as they are at least until my son graduates college. So, given that history, I voted "A - hook-up." However, it is a vote based on where I have been and not where I am. For my part, I have a wonderful beautiful amazing woman in my life who I would do anything for and who has given me three of the most beautiful little gifts a woman can give to a man. Gifts that get all excited when I get home and call me "Daddy." To which I have a son of whom I am enormously proud, whom I love as much as my other children, and whom I hope to get to know better and make up for my failings. So very mixed and complicated answer, but there it is. I guess you needed more poll options.
One quality person. Although I wouldn't say I wouldn't do them, I don't like the idea of hookups. They are like getting a street hot dog when you really want a full course dinner. I definitely am the type who values love over lust. And I think anyone who chooses hookups over a true partner is kinda lame.
I’d never do hook ups. I just want to have sex with only one guy (my future partner) for the rest of my life.
Usually whenever possible, with exceptions of course
