Not Into Thankings

Something a guy said the first time we had sex isn't sitting well with me. He said "Thank you." Those aren't the worst two words in the English language, but hearing them after sex made me feel bad. Sort of used. We made tentative plans for another date, but I'm wondering if I'll even hear from him again. What does it mean when a guy uses this sort of courteous closure after sex?

--Disturbed

After he thanked you, did he ask very politely how much a second hour would be? A lot of women get ticked at hearing "thank you" after sex, feeling they're being seen as service providers. That's because you thank somebody who does something FOR you, not when you've done something mutual together. The thing is, getting naked with somebody for the first time doesn't enhance anybody's ability to articulate thoughts. Maybe this guy was at a loss for words, and suddenly, it came back to him, his mother saying, "What do you say when the nice lady gives you a cookie?" Instead of sitting around dissecting the possibilities, do what you always should when you're hoping to see some date again: Forget about him until the phone rings and he's on the other end asking if you give discounts for repeat customers.
