It's fine. I made out witha guy and he ended up being my boyfriend for 2 months.

I guess it depends on how you approach the situation.  If you know you're vulnerable and will attach emotions with physical actions then it's probably not good.  If you're really objective and know you just like the physical and wont get caught up with the emotional it can be good.  Also what is it you want?  You said you liked feeling "liked" so it might not be good to search that out in random hook-ups because it is to be blunt "cheap" meaning that you go into hook-ups just as that...a hook-up.  Not saying that hook-ups can't lead to real dates or relationships, just don't be confusing them all together to save yourself from heartache.  Everyone has different opinions, you just have to self reflect on how you view yourself in these situations.  There's not a right or wrong answer lol.

Also since you say you're Christian, I will personally say, don't fall into the temptation.  Hook-ups seem nice because it's instant gratification, but later you may regret it.  I regret the outlook I had on one-night stands, etc beforehand and wish I could take it all back.  Wait for someone who will truly respect you, it is so much more fulfilling that way :)

wait, so you got your first kiss from this random hookup, and not from the person you were actually dating and still have feelings for?

that in itself is quite unconventional.

but i have never been against hookups. but that doesn't mean i will hook up every chance i get.

i think kissing is fine, but i would definitely not go any farther just as a hookup. if they want more than that then it's gotta be a relationship

as long as you're not in a commited relationship or are working towards a relationship already i don't see anything wrong with making out with someone to have harmless fun. i believe its good to have the fun you want while you're single then settle down. and sometimes after being in a relationship you will find that you want to have fun with someone without having a commitment.

thats just advice. in any event stick to your morals and don't forget that all of the above are possibilities

ehh making out with random guys isn't so bad but i don't think id wanna hookup with some guy that i just met that night like if its someone that i know and we hok up thats is betetr than some random guy that you might not even remember his name in the morning. then again i havnt been there so i sont know but i dont think i would like that at all. 

That's what they all say after hooking up with a guy. You seem like you've let your guard down after meeting that guy at a party. I don't think people should be going out and kissing all these people,touching, getting naked and doing all this crazy stuff with the opposite sex at random college parties. But that's because I also have high morals and values, and I believe one day, when you meet your future husband or wife, they might not like all of the disgusting shit you've done with other people. I guess I say this cause I have a fiance and I hate HIS past because of this. I pretty much stand on that and from everything I see around me, it's just to the point where its absolutely disgusting and degrading.

I just think college kids these days should have morals and values, and common sense. Stop being so easy people.

there's nothing wrong with hooking up as long as you want to do it, you do it with someone who also wants to do it, and you do it safely. 

just for the record though, i think kissing is fucking gross.  i don't know what you see in it.  (i suppose alcohol helps.)

I'd rather get to know someone and go from there than hooking up. That's just my thing. Flirting ain't bad but going to bed with some random stranger just isn't for me.

@zzzzzulavalle@xanga - Because it's slutty for girls to hook up with guys, however occasionally or experimentally.

I say do what you want. just don't date guys you hook up with because that's an aweful first impression, and be safe about it. and eventually, grow out of the phase.
