lol. Hey, I'm single and playing the field. No need to "date" just one guy at a time if there is no commitment.

When are you people ever going to learn? There's no such thing as a friends with benefits. If two people make the beast with two back more than 2-3 times, somebody's going to fall for the other. It's not a question of if, but when.

Sex with multiple partners isn't "dating".

I agree. That whole idea is SUCH a joke. I can't believe people fall for it.

I completely 100% agree with you. College aged people are so so very misinformed when it comes to relationships.

Just to let you know I am actually in my early 30s. I recently got out of an abusive 5 year r/ship to a controlling, jealous, violent man so I wanted to take a break from serious r/ships. But I do get sexual needs so I decided to do casual r/ships. But I didn't anticipate they would get so complicated. People can't seem to just lay it all on the table. There is so many mixed messages. Saying one thing, but acting like another thing, etc. I don't know what to believe, but I just want to know where things stand. I'm find if the guys have no feelings, but when they start sending signals that they do is when it gets f*cked up.

Exactly. It's the man's job to create the boundaries of the relationship even before "the relationship" happens. So it's best to be up front about personal relationship beliefs, so that after the physical consummation, there's no awkward "what nows". If the boundaries are "let's just have fun physically" then so be it. If the boundaries are "let's have fun and I'd like to have kids some day with someone special" then so be it. As long as everybody in the bedroom knows where they're at, on any given night.

A relationship is any interaction between two people.. the semantics being the difference between "emotionally loyal & dedicated relationship" and "casual athletic relationship", a difference that is very important.
