I am starting to do well on dates lately and converting a high % into same day sex! But I’m seeing a new pattern now - most of these encounters are fizzing out after 2-3 nights together. Most from my side, but the few that i feel like i want to try and explore further fizz out from the other side. I’m reasonably good in bed - i can tell when sex hasn’t been great but this is very rare! I am feeling a bit though like i have somewhat forgotten how to build emotional intimacy. Anybody else went through a similar pattern? What’d you do about it?

Admittedly, I meet a large % of my dates online, and sexualize conversations very early. I also lead a fairly busy life, so there’s usually a gap between 2 dates with the same person. So all of these could be direct/indirect causes, but these things are helping me in one aspect and (possible?) hurting me in another - how to build some balance?
