From My Perspective – Official DateHookup Blog

I was perusing the DateHookup forum today and came across multiple posts by users involved in “friends with benefits” situations. If you are unaware of what this term refers to, let me fill you in. A friend with benefits is pretty much one step up from a booty call. They are someone you call up for a good time, but for whatever reason are not your boyfriend or girlfriend. This may be because they just don’t fit the criteria or it could be because neither of you are looking for anything serious. Ideally, a friend with benefits should be a friend. They should treat you with respect and vice versa. You get many of the fun aspects of having a relationships, i.e. sex and companionship, with no strings attached. Does it sound too good to be true? That’s because it is.

I just finished looking through my boyfriend’s box of photographs.  What a terrible idea that was.  Besides the random party shots, family photographs, and the ever-so-embarrassing wallet sized school pictures, in this box I found pictures of the ex.

Even the happiest, healthiest relationships run into their snags now and again. By nature, people argue, and when you spend a lot of time with one person, you’ll lose your cool every now and again. I had one boyfriend with whom I had a very intense relationship. We argued about the tiniest, most insignificant details of life, but when we weren’t fighting, life was good. Very good. Eventually the fighting ended the relationship, but for the last few months of the relationship, I kept a log of some of the insane things we argued about. I’m publishing it here as sort of a cautionary tale. I guess these should have been warning signs, huh?
