Reborn Virgin… kinda?

Alright y’all, so I had my hoe phase in college and for the past two years I’ve had a boyfriend- we broke up a few months ago (mutual, healthy breakup, doing fine)

However, I’ve noticed that I like/ seek male attention. Not to the point where I’d bend backwards for a guy (I’m very independent), but when I meet guys, I like to flirt here and there.

A little flirting never killed nobody, but I really don’t want to be hooking up anymore. I also don’t want to be in a relationship right now and just want to be single. ‼️How can I fulfill my need for male attention while being single and NOT hooking up?

Basically, I need y’all’s advice on how to not have meaningless sex. I’ll flirt, I’ll go on dates, I’ll make out but I just want to leave it at that. What steps can I take to make sure I don’t let myself get caught up in the moment and rip my clothes off and have sex? Feel like I always get caught up in the moment because I love the attention so I’ll be like “alright why not let’s keep going” and then I regret it the next morning (especially if I’m drunk)
