Coworker and I were talking. I've known him for years and we're good friends. Anyway, he got to talking about some woman he'd known from his college days. They apparently ran into each other somewhere and started talking. He tells me what happened, but I knew, 'cause it's happened to me:

Make a date, arrange to meet up (most ideally Friday)
Friday: Meet up, go have dinner, spend the night together.
Saturday: Spend the day together, go out, same as Friday in that you spend the night together.
Sunday: Things cool off a little...intimacy not as intense, but cuddling and light kissing.
Sunday evening: You part ways, kiss each other goodbye, quick call/text when you (or the other) gets home.
Monday: You may call, or even see the person, only for them to kind of snub you, like: "See ya!" and no further word from them.

So I told him: "Hate to say this, but she's forgotten you and is probably on to the next guy the following weekend." I'm hearing more about this; maybe the new norm?

Weekend trysts have been going on for many many decades. Nothing new. Never a huge thing, but common enough (hello 70s rock festival "romances").

I'm old enough to remember those '70s "romances" resulting in teenagers becoming young parents. Glad I stayed out of that fray!

I used to have dates like that in college.

I have never had anything like this happen. If they spend the night, they end up staying for many months or years.

I always thought the guy did this to the woman more than vice versa. But as I've said, I've experienced this once or twice also.

Common. The new thing the last few years is young girls hooking up with older guys as a badge of honour. For eg. 19 year old hooking up with a 28 y/o guy.

Common - instead of a ONS/one-off you get "double for your money" with a weekend fling! Seems like a waste to go through the motions of cooling things off on Sunday when you could get in another round - I doubt most people do this. If you don't intend to see them again, why cool it off?

Yeah, the "cooling things off" seems strange. In my case everyone knew the deal: Travel to your date's campus in time for the Friday keg party, followed Saturday by a pregame tailgate, football game, post game party, Saturday frat party, Sunday brunch, then back to your own campus. Sex wasn't always part of the equation, but 3-day dates were common in the Virginia liberal arts college network.

The next weekend you may have a date with a different person at a different campus. The purpose wasn't to find the "one true love" but to have fun in different places. You needed a weekend date because of all the dancing required.
