Hookups are too complicated help😭

Alena

I've been really stressed out lately, so I was excited to go to a party last week, but it only made things complicated 😬

So at the beginning of this summer I got out of a year and a half long relationship (I ended it) and have been enjoying single life :) I haven't had to worry about crushes, or commitments and it was great. I was still friends with my ex, good friends, and even helped him with his relationship problems (which was a little weird but I was a good friend to him)

So at that party I hooked up with a guy who I'd secretly thought was cute for awhile, and the hookup itself felt really nice, natural and fun! But the guy I hooked up with happened to be the ex best friend of my ex... and so now my ex won't even talk to me, even though he was off with another girl and I feel completely shitty!

I also have never done hookups before, and have no idea how it's supposed to work. We talked a bit over snap chat and had some really sweet conversations, but I have no clue what he wants, or even what I want for that matter 😅. I would talk to him, but is that the thing to do after one hookup? I don't want to be clingy or assume that he wants something with me or that he even likes me...

This is a very long rant, but this whole situation has really been bothering be and making me feel constantly anxious, and I'd appreciate any tips on how to cope with the stress of it, what is normally expected from a hookup, what to do about my ex, really any comments will help❤️
