How do you approach a hook up?

Victoria

It's officially been one year since the last time I've had sex. I've only had sex with the one guy, who I was in a serious relationship with at the time. Since we broke up last year the thought of being with someone else really turned me off. But lately I'm getting my sex drive back. It's bad. But this past year I've really enjoyed being single and I'm not really thinking about a relationship, but if I don't have sex I'm going to lose my mind lol. I've never had casual sex before and I'll be honest the thought intimidates me. I'd be safe about it of course, and I don't think I'd be comfortable with a stranger. I have a few guy acquaintances/not really close friends who I'd be down to hook up with, but here's my main concern: How do I approach hooking up with someone? I don't want to come across as slutty, especially if they reject me. I just don't want to come out and ask for sex lol. How can I do this and still maintain some dignity? I mean that for the hook up itself as well. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
