		<description>[...] No relationship came out of it, and the empty feeling did come back after. But at the time, it reinvigorated me and I was smiling for the next few days. However I must say that I feel ambivalent that the best physical relations that I&#8217;ve had was not also with someone whom I connected with emotionally. [...]</description>

		<description>rationalneurotic: actually that&#039;s not very surprising. Sex does change the whole dynamics between a couple.

Here&#039;s wishing you the luck in finding good love *and* good sex. ;)</description>

		<description>ironically, sex has destroyed all my relationships. it was always beautiful before then. perhaps it was due to the timing, or really because of sex, or I don&#039;t know what.</description>

		<description>Rob: we kept in touch for a while but gradually drifted apart due to work and distance.

girlstar7: yes, everything you said! As I&#039;ve said, the reason that we remember it so fondly is because we didn&#039;t overthink it and just went with the flow.

Otto: in another words, ignorance is bliss. :)</description>

		<description>That&#039;s why there is the cliche, &quot;Live each day like it&#039;s your last&quot;... The philosophy makes you appreciate the best and overlook the worst, thus having a great time and the illusion of &quot;satisfaction&quot;.</description>

		<description>I had something similar with a guy.  I met him out at a club one night, and I gave him my number.  a few days later he called and we arranged to go on a date.  at the start of the date he told me he lived in Alice Springs (I live in Melbourne) and that he was only down for a couple of weeks visitng friends.  instantly I thought &#039;okay this cant&#039; go anywhere, I can&#039;t get attached&#039;.  
  but those few hours we spent together on that date, we just really connected.  we had SO much in common plus a strong physical attraction.  despite knowing it couldn&#039;t really go anywhere, I still got involved, thinking &#039;may as well give it a go and have no regrets&#039;.  
  what started was two weeks of great fun.  we saw each other pretty much every day (it was in the summer, and I was on uni break and a break from work).  we did fun things like going to the aquarium, going to the beach, playing tennis and going bowling.  we had the best time together, I can honestly say they were two of the best weeks of my life!
  when he left, I found myself devastated.  we kept in contact for a while, and hooked up once again when he came back to Melbourne, but eventually lost contact.  who knows if it would&#039;ve worked out as a &#039;real&#039; relationship, but it sure felt good while it lasted.  sometimes I STILL think about him even though I&#039;ve had two long term bfs since him (including the one I&#039;ve got now).  sometimes I wonder where he is and if it wouldve worked out, but maybe it&#039;s best being the romantic idea in my head of being so perfect without reality or the real world spoiling anything :)</description>

		<description>do you still keep in touch with her? its rare to find a connection like that. you gotta pursue it. 
remember what buddha says.
if you don&#039;t try, then you&#039;ve already failed.</description>

		<description>ian: precisely - no expectations, no time to really see the &quot;other&quot; side of the person, and also the willingness to just enjoy the time we&#039;ve got without thinking too much.

Yeah, all that. :)</description>
