Casual dating is slowly picking up traction thanks to the charm of ‘none exclusivity’ that you can indulge in as you try to figure out what being in a relationship really, really, means.
If you’ve been in and out of relationships, and you’re at a point where you just don’t want a serious relationship as the year ends, you should try casual dating.
So what is casual dating?
Think of it as several one night stands, with the same person. You do not have to get emotionally connected, you certainly don’t have to introduce him to your folks or your girls. It’s a ‘friendwith-benefit’ sort of agreement.
Also, you can say goodbye to candlelit diners alone, and hello to teeth wrenching sex. Most girls agree that the best part, is once the night is over, you can walk away without having to worry if he is cheating on you.
Casual dating is where two people have sex or near sexual activities without expecting or demanding the extra commitment that is often in committed relationships. Having said that, you must ensure that you do not get caught up in the emotionally draining spiral of what a true relationship is all about.
If you’d like to try out casual dating, do it the right way.
The following guidelines will definitely help you avoid complications when you venture into casual dating.
