A common problem amongst students who are too focused on their university work is maintaining a relationship. There’s often too little time to focus on essays, exams, internships, and part-time jobs and quality time with your partner all at the same time. If you’re not into being in a committed relationship at this important point in your life, there are other options available. Having one-night stands can be both satisfying and rewarding for many reasons, especially since dopamine is in question. However, hook-ups can be tricky! Here’s how to have casual sex without getting attached to the person.
Casual Sex is Casual Sex
Don’t start daydreaming and brainstorming ideas about your wedding day just yet. You may have liked the sex, but that doesn’t mean they are the right person to be in your life right now.
Avoid Post-Sex Calls
Calling the person after you spent one night with them can be tricky. It usually gives the signal that there’s something more, and it may simply turn into unrequited feelings.
He’s Not Your Boyfriend
After hooking up with a person for one night, the day after is not the right time to expect boyfriend commitments. Therefore, it’s important that you hold a realistic perspective on the situation post-sex.
Keep It Fun
One of the biggest mistakes you can do after having casual sex with someone is to start overthinking the situation. The chances are, it was simply a fun night you both enjoyed. Nothing more than that.
Be Honest
Make sure your partner is aware of your expectations. This can serve as an icebreaker between you two, but it also rings the bell of what you both want from each other.
Not Your Ex
Having casual sex with people you’ve had romantic feelings towards in the past is tricky. If you’re sure there’s nothing left between you, that’s a different situation. However, hooking up with your ex can reignite the same flame that united you two together. And that can only complicate things.
