The internet is amazing. All without leaving the comfort of your home, you can order dinner, take in a lecture on astrophysics, watch any and all seasons of Game of Thrones, and find a date.
In regards to online dating, you can get super selective and find the exact kind of casual relationship that works for you. Here are some casual dating options that are out there just waiting to be enjoyed.
4 Online-Dating Casual Relationships
1. The One-Night Stand
You meet, you click, you hook up, and then you never see each other again. Sometimes a one-night stand is all you need to get the job done. It’s quick, it’s hot, and you don’t have to worry about any of those pesky feelings getting in the way. The key to securing a solid one-night stand is to be up front about what you want.
Lots of women are looking for the same thing, so don’t feel you need to meet people under false pretenses. Even being ambiguous about what you’re seeking can lead to confusion and hurt feelings in the end, so declare your desire for one night of steamy, NSA fun, then enjoy yourself to the fullest.
2. The Fuck Buddy
Perhaps you met with the intention of having a one-night-stand, but you got to talking and realized that the vibe is right for something equally casual but recurring. Or maybe you went out, thinking that you might be suited to something deeper, only to realize that all you really have to offer each other is pure, carnal bliss. Either way, a fuck-buddy arrangement can be amazing, provided you both want the same thing.
A word of warning: No matter how great the sex is, be honest with yourself about how you’re feeling. Do you want more? Do you suspect that she does? Don’t try to make your arrangement into something it’s not. The key to a fuck-buddy relationship is knowing when to call it off.
3. The Adventure Seeker
Online dating tends to attract some adventurous folks. I think that’s because it feels less risky than meeting people in person. It’s way easier to seek out a little pony play when nobody knows who you are, and you can hide behind a screen name like Hoof-Hearted.
Adventure-seeking hookups can be a lot of fun! Maybe you’re the more experienced one and end up introducing your partner to all kinds of new things, or you find yourself with someone who can broaden your sexual horizons in ways you never imagined. As always, it’s best to be as detailed and honest as you can about what you want. Let your fellow adventure seekers find you!
4. The Friend You Didn’t Know You Needed
I’ve had a lot of experience with online dating and when I look back, I see that the best things to come from it are the friends I’ve made. Sure, you might have met with the intention of screwing each other’s brains out, and sure you might have done that a few times, but not all relationships are meant to be of a sexual or romantic nature.
Having friends of the opposite sex is great! They can be an invaluable source of insight and support, and they can introduce you to their single friends while (potentially) vouching for your abilities in the sack.
