The trouble is that I'm not very good at casual sex;
Oh yes, totally. But the point is, the relationship could be quite important to you, whether it was sexual or not, without showing up on the radar of work colleagues, so it may be practical to say "I spent the weekend with my old friend X" rather than "with my bit-on-the-side X", and bring up the other aspect only if, for instance, you bring them to a work christmas dinner, or something.
Obviously the "not mentioning it" isn't ideal. One may have to make a decision about whether you're happy to talk about it ever, and if so be ready to do so, and if not, be cautious about doing it.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.

Now I'm not sure.
