Andrea Syrtash: You are hooking up with somebody new and things are exciting, but how do you know if you are just a booty call? Stay tuned for the five clues. I am Andrea Syrtash and this is On Dating.
How do you know if you are a booty call?
Man on street: It is 10 o'clock at night and you are sober and they are not. It is 10:15 at night they are gone and you feel filthy.
Woman on street: Well if the guy is only calling you around 2 a.m. on a Saturday night when he is drunk that it is a good chance that he is your booty call.
Woman on street: sometimes I don't think you know that you are a booty call until it actually happens.
Man on street: Yeah I'm going to go with that.
Woman on street: and then it is days later and he does not call and you're wondering why. That is why.
Woman on street: It is usually on the weekends, maybe late at night and that is the only time that you are hearing from them.
Man on street: If someone just calls you to come over and you do your thing and then that is it, you do not hear from them, then that would be a booty call.
Woman on street: If there is shame the next morning, then you are a booty call.
Andrea Syrtash: To be or not to be a booty call that is the question we will look at today. For those of you who have been living under a rock and do not know what a booty call is:
A booty call is a telephone call, other communication, or visitation made with the sole intent of engaging in sex with the person being contacted. There is nothing wrong with having the booty connection was someone as long as you are on the same page. I have a friend who insists on it and she is not alone. A lot of women are looking for fun without commitment.
So never assume, that is the first rule of the booty call. Have a conversation about where you stand and what you are looking for, and if you're too shy to do that just make sure you do not mislead someone into thinking it is something more than it is. That means no discussions about the future and no pretending that you’re exclusive.
Safety is the second rule of the booty call, if you want to engage in casual sex that is your prerogative but be safe so you do not end up regretting this fun arrangement. On the flip side how do you know if you are the one who is booty is being called? Here are the five clues:
You are constantly drunk dialled by your date, these days that also means your text messaged, or sent a drunken email. You stop by each others homes late at night, usually after other plans had ended. There is a little lounging around the next day, you wake up and go, brunch out is not an option. You have not met your booty calls friends or family, except when you stumble over at strange times. And finally you are rarely invited to activities that do not lead to sex or you are rarely called just to talk.
So I say if you're into the booty call go for a just make sure you do not mislead your self and get attached to a connection that is met to stay between the sheets. So thanks for watching On Dating and remember even a bad date makes a great story so get out there and always have fun, I am Andrea Syrtash I will see you next time.
