Ok, that's perhaps not the best thread title. But...
Here are the things I understand:
1. People feeling an attraction to each other.
2. How people meet someone new and feel a connection.
3. How a feeling of attraction can grow over an evening.
4. How a feeling or booze or drugs can put you in unexpected situations.
5. How life is weird and complicated and unpredictable.
6. And obviously, the mechanics of sex itself (though by no means well).
I get all this.
Here's what I don't understand:
1. What exactly happens in between meeting someone at a bar and having sex with them?
2. What exactly do people say that goes from questions about what you do to a living to "hey do you want to come to my place?" Do people just say that outright?
3. What about if you're at your or her/his place and you're just chilling - how do you go from watching a movie to touching each other? What do real people do instead of the sitcom cliche of "the yawn and stretch"?
What I am actually asking is: can you explain what happens in the space between just talking to someone and you both acknowledging that you're about to sleep together? It just makes no sense to me - do people just say stuff directly? Or do they talk around it?
