A Casual Relationship - Why Not Fully Committing To Your Man Can Spell Misery In Your Future

Are you thinking of entering into a casual relationship? Does having "friends-with-benefits" sound appealing to you? Think you can handle having casual sex with your emotions not getting in the way? If you are planning or thinking of trying out a casual relationship, take a minute to read on and find out if you really can handle it.

Don't Set Expectations

Free your mind from all kinds of expectations. You and your guy are entering this kind of relationship for one purpose only: fun sex. Don't expect extra cuddling after sex, or that he'll be spending the night with you, or even calling you the day after. Men who enter this type of relationships don't have those kinds of expectations, so neither should you.

Unfortunately, women are hard-wired to set these kinds of expectations, for by nature we are emotional creatures. Yes, you may be able to stick to your mantra of "no emotions involved" in the beginning, but later on you will be biting your lip to keep from asking your guy to spend the night with you, instead of leaving you to sleep by yourself. Pretty soon that empty space beside you on the bed will slowly eat you up.

Your guy, on the other hand, will probably forget about you the second he walks out your door, and will most probably remember to call you when he's feeling the itch again. See the difference?

Your biological make-up will also work against you. We women produce the chemical "oxytocin," which plays a role in developing the emotional bond with another person. It explains the bond between a mother and her child, or in this case, a woman with her lover. It is because of this chemical that you won't be able to remain emotionally unattached to the guy you're having a casual relationship with.

Be Ready For The End Of It

As with all relationships, the future is uncertain, and not all relationships last. But with this type of relationship, the end comes swifter due to the complications it brings. You should be ready when the time comes for it to end, and pray that you won't bear any emotional scars from the experience. With these things in mind, ask yourself again if it's worth the risk to get into a casual relationship.
