What do you do when you can’t decide between relationships and hooking up?

For clarification, I mean choosing to try and find relationships or staying single and just hooking up with people.

I got out of a long term relationship and I’ve always been a relationship person. Now I started hooking up more and there are times where I love the thrill and attention it brings, and other times where I feel so lonely and miss my ex. Sometimes I catch myself thinking about my hook ups when I know our relationships are just sex.

I honestly just miss my ex boyfriend. Not even just being in a relationship, but him. We broke up because of political differences (he wanted me to change my views and I wouldn’t) I know he wants to get back together (says he doesn’t care about politics anymore) and there are times where I want nothing more than to date him again, but I also think about how I want to have summer time flings.

I don’t know what I want anymore and I don’t want to make a choice I’ll regret.
