So summer is here, and if you are single, this is the perfect time to snag yourself a summer fling. Because summer is a time to stay up all night and sleep all day, it's only right that you're lying next to your temporary bae. Here are five reasons the perfect summer fling will make your summer much better.
1. If there's no commitment, there's no drama.
Because your fling is something light and fun, and the both of you know that you are not committed to each other, there should be no drama. You only have a limited amount of time with this person, so why not just enjoy it without all the extra strings attached? Understand that this is only temporary.
2. You will always have someone to "lay up" with.
I know summer is about doing things outside the house, but who doesn't enjoy lying in bed with someone all day? Being "laid up" is a pleasurable feeling and a very romantic state to be in. This is a time to talk, kiss, watch movies, drift in and out of sleep and even get a little nasty. Days like this can also be a way to learn a little more about your bae.
3. Doing things you wouldn't normally do.
Everyone has a "type," and I'm no different. I usually only date one specific type of guy. But for your summer fling get yourself someone totally different than the guys you are used to dating. This will have you doing things that you wouldn't normally do because you're with someone who you wouldn't normally be with. Remember, it never hurts to try something new or different.
4. No pressure.
The whole point of a fling is to have a lot of fun without any of the baggage that comes with a real relationship. You don't have to cancel plans for this person, you don't have to cut off any of your other beaus, and you never have to answer to this person. Your fling should be OK with this, but it is also important to consider their feelings.
5. It could turn into something real.
Just because your fling is temporary doesn't mean it can't potentially be the real thing. If you have real feelings by the end of the summer, express them -- your fling could be feeling the same about you. You never know, your summer fling could turn into your summer love.
