Dating just for fun?
I find it fascinating how the same people who claim not to want a serious relationship turn out to be the first person to catch feelings. It’s sort of like “protesting too much” because they are quick to say it’s all good with no strings. The reality is that they are actually wearing their heart on their sleeves, hoping things get serious!
Men crack me up claiming they are not that type of dude or proclaim “they won’t trip over some broad” because they like things casual. These are the ones that start stalking you at Kroger when you don’t return his phone calls!
How does dating for fun work, then? When people are truly only interested in companionship and/or sex with no commitment, how does it get so complicated?
If you follow the dating for fun approach to dating, do you find that people are apprehensive about seeing you again?
Is it necessary to actually say you are just dating for fun or will your actions kind of show it?

MMeello – We haven’t met…have we
I’ve met a few folks on here but I don’t remember meeting you. No matter, I got your point though…lololol Yeah, some big shoes, but if you must know I don’t reach back and compare. Like I said, cut it off, move on and allow the new dude (or woman) the opportunity to live up to their fullest potential. Let them create their own footsteps and impressions.
Oh, and it wasn’t a “casual” thing…not at all

Exiled, you and Celisea hang out? Moreover, I like your approach to “Mr. Current.”

I have a personals bag in my desk, but my mouthwash won’t help him. I washed my hands, but the mental damage is done! I will NOT use one of his pens again!

Well got the answer, and stand firm on that handshake – I’d do that for any of my ‘girl friends.’ Heck, if I thought I got a weak handshake from a friend’s business colleague I’d tell him.

Mmeello and I have never met…not as him being Mmeello. Now if he’s truly another, maybe we have. No one though has ever seen a brastrap let alone skin. Did I misunderstand something? lololol

Exiled, I didn’t think the ambiguous was a factor, or if it’s the obvious funny.
MsAtl, get yourself a nice pen, everyone will notice it, this won’t happen again, and it’s a solid business accessory.

Exiled- Yes pens, lol. If he handed me his penis this post would have been a whole lot different. The outrage is that I do not want his saliva-infested pen. That’s just nasty.
HST- Normally I would have taken a pen, but I went in to ask him a question & he wanted to discuss a case, so I needed to write down a few things.

First, I can’t believe it’s 5:03.
Second, Celisea blew Ex out the water w/him making it sound as they’ve met. That was funny.
I’m getting closer to my margarita. Just one before I drive home.

And no, I don’t like the idea of being 59, single, and disabled one bit.
