We have all been at the point in our life when we were between relationships. We have no potential prospects and are feeling lonesome and in need of companionship, and sexual release. So, what do you do on a Friday night when your libido is taking over? Sure, you could self-indulge and masturbate; but why should you when a sexual partner could only be a phone call away?
The idea of having someone that is only a phone call away to have a sexual encounter with is an exciting adventure. People need to have this experience once in his or her lifetime. No need for faithfulness, a trusting connection and someone you can care about, have sex with but have no further obligation to.
We’ve read about it, we’ve seen it acted out in the movies and on TV shows and you may know friends who participate in such activity. So, how do you get a ‘friends with benefits‘ (FWB) partner? Where do you look for this type of a relationship?
Ask Friends
You know someone who is involved in a similar type of set-up, so ask that person if he or she knows another person looking for the same situation. Having a person referred to you takes away some of the guess work as to the person’s background and reputation. Now, keep in mind, only ask your friend if you are fine with someone knowing of your soon-to-be sexual set-up.
Online Dating Websites
These websites generally monitor registered users to make sure they a genuine. Plus they have categories for hook-ups and/or friends with benefits. You can even search for people via their fetishes and sexual interests.
Being Discreet
Perhaps you want to keep this set-up on the down low; so being discreet and not letting others know of your predicament, situation or ‘friend’ is your choice. No one needs to know what is going on. As long as you, and your FWB are happy with how the relationship is, then why bother telling people. Some friends may not be as open-minded or understanding of your state of affairs. So it may be best to keep it hush.
Be Honest
Honesty is the best policy; and when having a sexual relationship with someone, never hide important facts. Be as open and honest as you would like the other person to be with you. After all, you are planning on being naked with this person so they have seen you at your most vulnerable.
At some point in their life most people will seek a relationship from an online dating site. The level of the relationship is entirely up to the individuals. So, what is online dating? Hooking up? Meeting a new friend? The easiest definition is the practice of searching for a romantic or sexual partner on the internet.
If you haven’t tried online dating, and are in the position in your life where this could be a possibility, then you need to know the ten reasons to love online dating. Whether you’re in the market for a long-lasting commitment or just someone to have casual sexual encounters, keep reading.
The pool is bigger
Meaning you have more potential dates available for the picking. You’re not limited to who is at the bar stool next to you. You can be a little more fastidious about whom to talk to or possibly date.
Not obligated
You can talk to whomever you choose, without having to worry about being indebted to actually meet up or talk to the person. If someone is not to your liking, then move on. Blocking someone online has become the norm and easy to do.
Being yourself comes easier
When starting a new relationship and meeting people, this opens up your world to a chance to be yourself (being a little more daring or risque) because this person doesn’t know you, or your past.
Matching up and common interests
Most online dating websites like Adult Match Maker give you the option to search for matches through mutual interests. So, do opposites attract? Or should you date someone most like you and your personality.
Exclusive candidates
For the protection of its clients, most online dating sites monitor account so they can get rid of any accounts that do not seem real or who have a history of not being so nice to other members of the dating site.
No scheduling conflicts
People are busy so by using an online dating website, you can make your own schedule of when to be available online or to meet up. Don’t feel pressured by the other party. Make your own decision.
Ease of getting acquainted
Being a client of an online dating website offers the ease of getting to really know the person ahead of time. Generally people have intuition about others he or she meets. Use your time wisely and flirt, but also maintain an adult perspective and ‘weed’ through the bad seeds.
Become more social
Using an online dating website is a perfect time to let the ‘real you’ out. Don’t shy away from being who you are. Let the other person(s) know you and all your quirks and idiosyncrasies. Best they know who you are now versus months down the line. Online dating websites offer each client the opportunity to be more of who he or she wants to be. Being more social and meeting new people can be exciting.
