The weather is hot, the skirts are shorter and everyone is getting a better view of those bodies that were covered up for way too long. Festivals, Patios, BBQ's and those hot summer nights, put us in the mood for some summer lovin. Summertime allows single and not so singles an opportunity to enjoy the option of playing the field, freely and openly, without having to label their Facebook relationship status. I speak of the summer fling.
What is a fling? but a short term engagement of two or more parties for the purpose of pure enjoyment. One may say the relation to the Summer fling could be directly related to the weather. After all if you take my definition one might say we all have a fling with the season of summer.
The great thing about flings is that there are no promises and little expectations.
If your single...LIVE IT UP... but be honest, and be aware of your intentions.
If you are not so single....we'll you definitely need to read on.
I believe that both men and women look at the fling differently.
In the numbers of women as compared to the men, you would find more women looking as summer as a great starting point for a relationship, where most guys would view it as a springboard for frolicking.
In fact a lot of men (and women) date seasonally, with summer being their holiday. True story.
For those looking for a budding romance, summer sounds like the right time of year. There are more things to do, the overall spirit of your city\town is elevated, and that vibe is like no other.
So what do you do when you meet someone great, right before summer? or right at the beginning of your "holiday"? Most of us put it on a shelf, we give in to the lure of the beast we call summer. We succumb to our primal instincts to hunt and gather, while others are making a nest..
It is in our nature to feel this way. I bet the cave men did the same thing.
I'm not saying that everyone does..but in most cases the itch is there.
What to do? you got options:
Option 1) Your options...you got a few of them and they are probably pretty horny too. - Don't think I need to explain this one too much.
Option 2) Put it on a shelf and have your fun, It's summer time, why be held down? Why deal with the shit you've been dealing with this leading up to the glory days of summer? - Most people fail to recognize the impact of seeing that other person with someone else as well. and at that point, there is no turning back. As you make your moves, so do they.
Option 3) Stick with what you got. - No relationship is perfect, and it is natural to be attracted to other people. But just remember that if you got a "good one", don't fuck it up cause you have a burning desire (not sensation) in your pants. Just keep it real. You can stil have a a great summer.
The choice is yours..do what you may...
I'll leave you with a line from the rapper Common "It doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine". If you got something worth keeping or locking down. Dont be afraid, stay in one place..there is always next summer
So choose wisely, have fun, fun, fun..just keep it real and wrap it up.
Be safe.
Love, Ninja
