@LeonaBanks,
Let me suggest a pint of
Haagen Dazs ice cream (but never two in one sitting). Then again, I'm not the most emotionally stable person to answer this question.
Well, it depends on the
real reason in which you find yourself in this new intimate relations. If it's just to spite that prior someone, if only in your mind, just figure the person you're presently being intimate with just might have or might develop deeper feelings that you may or may not share.
If this relationship is just a one nighter, it may just be a placebo which only temporarily covers up the past issues involving the past relationship. At least with a pint of ice cream, in theory, you can't get any STD's.
