This topic hits home. I once hooked up with someone during a weekend trip, and it turned out to be one of the most underwhelming experiences of my life. We met at a party, and the energy was electric. She was witty, fun, and seemed really into me. But when we got back to my hotel room, everything fell apart.
For starters, she was pretty drunk, which I didn’t fully realize until we were alone. She kept stumbling over her words and wasn’t able to focus, which made me uncomfortable. I ended up calling it off and suggesting we just sleep it off and try again the next day. She agreed, but the vibe was completely gone by morning.
When we did try again, she seemed bored and unenthusiastic. She kept checking her phone and didn’t reciprocate any of the effort I was putting in. It felt like I was performing for an audience of one who couldn’t care less. Needless to say, it was a major letdown.
That experience made me realize how important mutual enthusiasm is. If both people aren’t equally invested in the moment, it’s just not worth it. I’d rather wait for someone who’s genuinely excited to share the experience.
