Booty call breakdown
Modern day sassy singles are taking the liberal approach to dating. But, what should you expect before you dial up some love? Read on …
The booty call: not a term you're going to find on Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, but if you're a seasoned single gal you're probably quite familiar it. The communication mode of choice for the hormone-driven isn't the domain of men only. Modern day ladies have needs too, and aren't afraid to dial up someone who can attend to them. But what exactly does the booty call involve? Are there any rules? Is spending the night optional? Whether you plan to be the perpetrator or recipient, here's what you need to know before you reach out and touch someone.
<span style="font-weight: bold">#1. What it is:</span>
The booty call is a phone call or text message communicating your interest in a solitary meeting with a chosen individual for the express purpose of having a good time -- with no strings attached. It typically occurs during late night/early morning hours and between individuals who have previously slept together, or dated, or flirted heavily.
<span style="font-weight: bold">#2. What to expect</span>:
Sex. Sorry to suck the romance out of the situation, but it's that simple. Some chitchat is acceptable, but neither one should be droning on -- non-stop chatter can kill the vibe. You and your booty call buddy have already entered into a non-verbal agreement with each party well aware of what it to ensue. The deal has been sealed; now it just needs to get done! That's not to say that a candle here or there, or a quick tidy of one's bathroom, wouldn't be appreciated. You are having a guest over/a guest in someone's home, after all, not living in a barn.
<span style="font-weight: bold">#3. What not to expect</span>:
Flowers, chocolates, breakfast in bed -- basically all the stuff you'd get if you were dating someone or living in a romantic-comedy. Remember, you're just sleeping with this person, not dating them, and therefore are not required to entertain or be entertained by them for more than a few hours at a time. The “spending the night” element appears to be the biggest booty call challenge. In the after-glow of a 3 AM power session, cuddling up might seem like a brilliant idea that the harsh reality of daylight can quickly zap. An early-morning subway ride wearing last night's heels and tissued-off mascara is to be avoided at all costs. If you're unsure about how the morning will play out and want to avoid awkward lingering moments at the door, high tail it back home or make up an excuse for him to vamoose. Having to get up for an early meeting has worked for guys since the beginning of business hours, so fake an 8:30 AM breakfast powwow with your boss and call it a night.
