Welcome to the SI101 Board and its Forums. I hope you will enjoy participating. Please begin by familiarizing yourself with the FAQs, the Posting Guidelines section, and especially the Index, all found at the top of the main screen. The Index contains links to helpful informative insightful, as well as how-to articles that discuss the most common questions and concerns people ask about. In addition, if you click on the site's Home Page, you will find even more information.
I believe you have answered your own questions and need only follow what you wrote, above. Please read the articles in the Index under the heading of dating.
At 18 you are at a stage of life where you should be exploring people and relationships as well as the world in general. You should also be preparing to become an autonomous adult--meaning being able to be self sufficient and learning the skills necessary for living on your own (roommates included) and not with parents.
There is a purpose for dating and it does not stop with the first warm body who expresses an interest in us so that we can declare to the world that "I have a boy- girlfriend!" This is explained in one or more articles and it is this that you should be concentrating on so that when Mr. Right does come along you will be better able to recognize him.
Sex can be for sex sake; however, more importantly it is the outward expression of the love each of us has for our partner. Bad sex equates to a poor expression of that love. Remaining with a poor lover who does not improve is no reason to hang onto the relationship. Perhaps your ex- should be shown this site and the articles in the Index if he truly wants to improve his skills. If he is and does not show an interest then most probably this attitude will manifest itself in other aspects of his relationship(s).
So, date, and date lots of people, and learn about their good qualities, bad qualities, quirks, desires, goals, objectives, values, etc.
I hope this is of help. Got questions?

Life without dancing?
I don't think so......
The feet may learn the steps;
yet only the spirit can dance!
Dancing is the fastest way to get
a girl alone and into your arms in public.
The Tango smolders and burns. It ignites the
heart, the soul, and yes, the libido.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass,
it's about learning how to Dance in the Rain!
Dance as if nobody is watching.
