Randomness thoughts on dating

Dating dating dating...what a strange world this is. Whatever happened to the days when men actually asked a woman out, they went out for some drinks, dinner, a movie? When they would get to know each other on an actual date? OHHH I know when the invention of the internet took over the actual process of people meeting, feeling a vibe, talking and getting to know each other, before they base it on a photo. Some people don't photograph well!!!

Recently I have been trying to figure out the difference between Dating, Friends with Benefits and Fuck Buddies (or Bootie Calls). And I have figure it out that men and women ave very different definitions of these. Now does this REALLY surprise anyone? Doesn't really surprise me...but what I find humours about it all is how men think I am strange when I describe my view of FWB's.

Dating
From a woman's view is when a man an woman goes out and dates, the old fashioned thing, the man pays, the goal is to ultimately figure out if they are a couple or not. Of course there is sex. There is a commitment and you may actually agree to not date others while dating.

From a man's view....this is a COMMITMENT!!! Stay away...one step closer to that big M word!!! Death to a man's genitals!

Friends with Benefits
From the woman's view the man and woman go out hang out do normal things, vent to each other, are friends first. They pay for themselves, no lovey dovey stuff, but they do have sex but its not required every time they hang out and its more of helping to release a need, you may snuggle, end up spending the night with each other but you both understand its not a couple thing. The goal isn't to become a couple.

From a man's view...This is dating!!!

Fuck Buddies (or bootie calls)
From a woman's view now do I really have to explain this? It's only about sex...one goes to the other get it on and get out of there.

From a man's view
The woman they call up if they strike out at the bar and come home drunk and horny.

So you can see a woman's delmina while trying to figure things in this world of dating!!! Gosh finding a man that understands I'd like a FWB...or dating is like winning the lottery....except with winning the lottery it might actually happen!!!
