Friends Dating Places

It’s getting to be that time of year where it’s so stinking hot outside that you want to stay cooped inside your comfortable, air conditioned home. But what fun is it staying inside when you could be out dating the people who are looking to start a summer fling?

Here’s a few hints on what you can do to keep your cool when things heat up.

Go ice skating. Since it’s hockey’s off season, most indoor rinks are opened to the public on weekends for public skating. Not only will you get to spend the hot hot day inside an ice box, but you get to share a unique experience with your date.

Get ice cream. Who doesn’t love ice cream! Either get cones and enjoy them in the local ice cream shop, or grab a tub and head down to the park for a dessert-only picnic. Either way, you’ll be satisfying your taste buds and your cold craving.

Hit up the beach. Sure being out in the sun might get a little hot, but what better way to cool down than a dip in the lake?! If you’re lucky enough to be by the ocean, maybe bring along a surf board so you two can learn something new together.

Visit an amusement park. Some roller coasters can reach up to 180KM/H. No matter how hot you are, winds like that will cool you right down. And these days most amusements have full water parks right on their grounds, so you’ll get twice the cooling satisfaction in one place.

See a movie at the drive-in theater. Since drive-in movies only play at night, the air will have already cooled by the time the movie plays. If it’s still a little too hot for you outside, then head over to the vendor and grab a slushie. It’s a great snack for the movies, and is way more tasty than eating ice.

There’s a lot of things you can do on dates to keep cool! If you’re ever short on ideas, just think about things that are too cold to do in the winter. Chances are they’ll still be cool in the summer! Start your dating search for a steamy summer fling, and stay cool while you get hot.

Summer is the season for concerts, hot weather, and steamy hook ups, so wouldn’t it make sense to mix these things together? When people think about going to concerts they usually think about how excited they are to see their favorite band, but it’s time that people started looking at them as a great place to do their search for dating!

In the summer, amphitheaters are great places to pick up. They’re usually an outdoor venue and on average hold about 13, 000 people. Let’s assume that half of those people are in a relationship, and half aren’t the sex you’re interested in, that still leaves you 3250 people to make a connection with, and those are pretty good odds.

Grab your tickets, bring some friends, gather up your courage and get ready to go on the dating hunt, because it’s not just the amount of people that will help you hook up. Concerts are the perfect storm of hookup helpers.

• Everyone around you has a common interest! One of the hardest parts about walking up to a stranger is not knowing what to strike up a conversation about, but if they’re at the concert, chances are you both like the same band. It’s easy to talk to someone about the song they’re playing or the quality of the sound. It’s casual and there’s no need for fear of rejection, because they’ll probably simply assume that you’re there only to talk about the music.
• People are happy. Who is in a bad mood at a concert?! No one! It’s always easier to approach someone when they’re in a good mood, and you can rest easy knowing that the cute guy you want to talk to at the concert is probably in the best mood he’s been in all week.
• You can continue the conversation somewhere else. If you start talking to someone that seems to be interested, there’s always other fun places to sneak away to. Beer tents, merch tables, snack bars… There’s a ton of places at concerts that you can go and converse while still getting to hear the great live music.
• Plan to meet up at other concerts! You’re obviously both music lovers. Mention that you’re going to be at another show in the area and see if they’re planning to do the same. If they are, it’s an easy suggestion for a second encounter.

Next time you’re at a concert, be on the lookout! A little live mood music set by the band makes for a perfect opportunity to hit on the cute stranger beside you ; )

Sometimes we can have friends that we really care about quite a bit, and they end up being friends with benefits. Often the relationship is actually even deeper than a romantic relationship because the couple started out being true friends. They end up being people that we can really confide in, tell our deepest and darkest secrets to, and share with in ways that we can’t with other friends that we are not intimate with.

It may not make sense that two people like that aren’t in love with each other and having a romantic relationship, but sometimes this type of friendship can actually transcend a romantic relationship or last quite a bit longer than the average marriage. Being a great match as friends or even friends with benefits does not preclude that the couple would be a great match for anything more than that. While in a friend’s with benefits relationship, there can be deep love between the two people, but a friend love instead of a romantic love, and the friend love is often the stronger and longer lasting of the two.
