I and a friend of mine were talking today about love,sex and relationships. Here are my thoughts,

I wonder how many people start off a relationship with nothing more than sex in mind. I guess you could call it an intimate encounter, But wind up with one or the other falling in love and wanting more that just sexual meetings? And which one is most likely to be the one to fall first and want more? Man or woman?

When a couple starts off with just wanting sex, that is usually what the friendship ends up being. In other words friends with benefits nothing more.

In my personal experience, I have found that getting to sex ASAP is the only way to start a relationship. The reason for this (I'm told) is because if the man hasn't made his move within her time frame she assumes he's rejected her and sex is permanently unavailable after that.

I also assume all sexual encounters will lead to some kind of relationship. If I'm willing to have sex with her once, I'm going to be wanting it many more times.

IMHO it's the women that are usually asking for more. First a commitment, then words; "I love you." Followed by moving in together and finally, children and marriage.

Interesting question. If dating is scary to both I could see where both could want more. I agree with, "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never known love at all."

It's no wonder then, why I prefer the company of aquaintances. No bs manages to get past me without me spotting it first. Sometimes work REALLY IS a good thing huh?

I really think this all depends on the people in the " hook up" only relationship.
IF I'm going to have a hook up only relationship.. then that's what you are. Don't tell me about your day... Don't tell me about what the rough time you're having with your kids.
We keep the conversation to a basic need to know.

Women tend to start catching feelings when those barriers get crossed. She starts thinking maybe she could make him want her ALL OF THE TIME.

Hey, I'm no saint Ive had these types of relationships... I never crossed over to feelings.. The men did! I'm thinking it was because
I went on with my every day and didn't give them a second thought until the next hook up.

Again... In the past, and I've learned that these relationships tend to make you a little cold... and I'm not a cold person.

I personally have never had a relationship like this. I never would allow myself to get into a relationship like this. It's been my experience that when people engage in relationships like this,Someone always walks away hurt. Someones heart gets involved one way or the other.

It's been my experience from people I've known over the years that it's usually the woman that winds up wanting more. A lot of men,Really, To many men now are to unattached from feeling when they should. In other words, Men can have sex with a woman when he really isn't attracted to her. Women for the most part don't have sex with a man that she isn't attracted to or doesn't have some kind of feeling for. Yes, Their are exceptions to every rule. Some women can screw around with men they are not attracted to. It's just sex to them. I do believe though that most women have to have some kind of attachment to a man before she can lay with him. Attraction,Something. Men,Not so much for most of them.
