I was talking to a friend of mine, and somehow we started talking about relationships or lack of… I began to wonder about relationships in 2008. 

Have relationships really turned into versions of bust-it-babies, bed buddies, or friends-with-benefits?

I’ve heard a lot of opinions and they break down to the following (I’m going to tell you what I’ve heard, then give my perspective):

1. The Sex Demon- lol… these are people who just want to have the sex without the responsibilities of maintaining a relationship. These are the people who call ONLY when they are arranging for a booty call… self centered, they usually only meet when it benefits them (ie… when THEY need some… not when the other party does)

2. The Scardity Cat- These are people who want to have sex and intimacy of a relationship without the title…. (they are afraid of labeling their situation and then not living up to the expectation). These are the people who will act like they are in a progressive relationship, but are emotionally cut off. They run everytime “titles” are mentioned, and usually have the “me too, or whatever is fine” attitude.

3. The Pet Killers- these are people who want the appearance of a relationship but for whatever reason won’t maintain a relationship. (work, school, family obligations, etc etc).  They tend to only make time occasionally… kind of like the weekend relationship or “sometimes”. but they always forget, or you are low on their priority list… so like pets who haven’t been tended to in weeks…. the situations dies.

4. The flamingo- those are people who get into these situations hoping that EVENTUALLY it will grow into something more… Now these people KNOW that the situation will NEVER grow into something more… but they choose to hide their head in the sand instead of acknowledging what the other person says…

***I believe that in a society where everyone wants instant gratification…. it is inevitable that relationships will reflect that desire (in the forms of bed buddies, bustit babies…etc)….

 **Smile** I find that I’m not in any bed buddy category (I don’t do the bustit baby thing)…. but I do fall into one of the relationship types… (TBD later)

So.. What do you think?

**with that I’m GONE**
