While a summer fling with a Filipino single can make you feel a roller coaster of happy emotions, there are also drawbacks to such a seasonal romance. Before you catch feelings, let’s have a sense of what it feels like to be in a summer fling.
All Things Summer Fling
Perks of Being in a Summer Romance
Summer is hot, and so will be your date and your entire situantionship. On the verge of signing yourself for a steamy summer fling? These fun things will definitely convince you to go for it!
1. No strings attached
A hot summer fling might be just what you need if you want a fun, light-hearted, and non-committal relationship. You don’t need to worry about disappointing the other person. You also don’t need to open your heart and talk about important topics.
Most importantly, summer flings help you to live in the present. You understand you’re pacing on a limited time, so you try to enjoy being in the here and now.
2. No-pressure situationship
Imagine making out and canoodling with your date day in and night by the beach, all fuss-free—that’s summer fling for you. There are fewer expectations and less pressure. You don’t have to adjust your life so that someone can fit in.
Essentially, you get to cash in on the fun stuff with a summer fling. And, you are not obliged to deal with any extra baggage your date may be carrying.
3. Guilt-free fun
The summer air, alcohol, swimsuits, outdoor adventures, and summer parties encourage that exciting, nonchalant mentality. You get to maximize your time with your summer fling on spontaneous dates without guilt.
4. Low-key dates
Since you’re both unobligated to fulfill each other’s emotional needs, there isn’t pressure to come up with fancy dates. A spur-of-the-moment party outside town or dinner by the hotdog stand with your fling will do.
The point of this setup is that you two can simply hang out without the pressure of nice dinners or having to meet each other’s family.
5. Highlight of your summer—if not of your life
We all have that special memory that doesn’t fail to bring a smile to our face each time we remember it. Without a doubt, your summer fling will top that.
No matter how your situationship ended, you’ll always have that unforgettable summer to reminisce about. So, whether you’re fresh out of a relationship or trying to reinvent yourself, go on and have a summer fling! Just be sure to gather memories instead of feelings.
Cons of Being in a Summer Romance
While a summer fling can be everything you could ask for, there are some drawbacks that come with it. Ready your heart and mind by taking a look at this list:
1. There’s no real connection
A general rule for hot flings is that there isn’t pressure from both parties. You don’t share anything personal or meaningful about each other. It’s supposed to be easy and nothing like a regular relationship.
As such, in most cases, you might find out you’re not the only thing your date’s been ‘flinging’ the entire summer. Which, could be annoying if you’ve been loyal to them the whole season.
2. You tend to forget other responsibilities
You’re less tied down to commitment when you’re in a summer fling. You’re also freer to do anything you wish. Inarguably, this isn’t a good thing.
All the feel-good moments and exciting adventures that a summer fling brings could often make you forget about your real-life responsibilities. In your effort to maximize your time together, you become so wrapped up in all the fun. Eventually, you hold on to this string of intoxicating happiness that you actively ignore your family and friends. Read More…
