Not really sure what my question is.....

Is one nighters a BPD thing? Or am i just awful?
I've had one night stands. Always after break-ups. I told myself I needed to just have sex without getting attached to anyone (I tend to get overly-invested in relationships).

I actually started dating my current boyfriend after we had a ONS. Crazy, huh?
