One of the beauties of adult single life, is that nothing is "the last." You can always change your bank, change your car insurance company, change your cell phone provider....
And change your standards for what you want right now. (Even if that means breaking up.) As hokey as that bullshit about "the first day of the rest of your life" is, it's dead on. Figure out what you want today, and go for it. Tomorrow morning, figure out what you want tomorrow, and go for it. Then change it all tomorrow afternoon.
I relish the possibility of daily reinventions of myself, without the need to consult with anyone, or to explain any policy changes.
All of which is to say that I think your premise, and therefore your question, is flawed. This is not your last go-around in life. That comes tomorrow. And then it'll come again on Sunday.
My Darling Firstborn - according to my calculations, you're just shy of 33. I'm 56 and counting. At 33, I was just getting married for the second time. Second. Now I'm beyond the fourth! I want one more man in my life. And only one. I don't ever want to be divorced again. God/the universe/fate willing, I'll predecease the next one or we'll go simultaneously in a crash or something merciful like that.
As much as I think I might try being a swinging single, I don't feel very swinging, and don't like being single.
Enjoy your youth. It doesn't last forever. Trust me, it goes away (just like the elasticity of your skin and the ability of your brain to retain information).

Ralph Waldo Emerson said so.
