When a Lover Wants Friendship and Romance

Posted on May 27th, 2009 | 31 comments

When it comes to lovers (i.e. booty call partners, not girlfriends), I’m pretty old school, in a modern high-tech sort of way. You text to hookup, have some fun, then go your separate ways, and generally don’t talk or hang out until your next roll in the hay.

A neighbor called on a Sunday night to see if I would take her friend, who was visiting, out for drinks. The friend was an attractive woman who lived an hour away, who I had met a few times before. We liked each other enough, but never dated due to the distance between us. Well, [...]

A former girlfriend and erstwhile lover (booty call partner, friend with benefits) called to say hello. A pleasant surprise, since we hadn’t hooked up in a while. Not to say we hadn’t tried. There’s nothing like trying to coordinate a single parent’s custody schedule with a that of a busy career woman.
We had been playing [...]

A woman and I met online at Craigslist, then met in real life at a coffee house. From the beginning, the intent was clear: flirt while we got to know each other, then if we’re [...]
