At one time or another most of us have been in a certain kind of relationship called ‘friends with benefits’. Generally the benefits don’t include gym membership and health insurance (though I met one young lady who told me she’d take this as an option over sex) - so you get the idea. You’re good friends, you both get horny, you both get drunk, and it’s usually all at the same bar. You’re both twenty something downtown-bar-hopping kids with libidos that cannot be contained. What a coincidence! Why not kill two birds with one stone and in the morning get a hungover breakfast at Blue Moon, have a couple mimosas, and go your separate ways. There’s no emotional attachment, you both get your hookup with person of choice, and life is good - right?
Well, unfortunately the ‘friends with benefits’ model is eventually threatened by the prospect of a more serious relationship. I polled a half dozen men and women about this subject and came up with a list of warning signs for those currently in FWB status. If you start to exhibit any of these behaviors, or your benefit friend does, you are drifting towards relationship territory. Take it as you will - I know plenty of people who started out as FWBs and ended up happily dating. None of these things are inherently bad, but be aware - if a relationship is not at all what you want then these are 10 warning signs that you’re drifting in the wrong direction:
You have got to love when the bikers have to dodge the person who has no idea how to parallel park. Seriously dude!? This parking job is not even close to being ok. It’s near ACAC; too bad it’s not a cop!
Kroger @ 29N & Hydraulic. Didn’t get the surrounding parking lot enough to convey that the lot was well full beyond it so you’ll have to take me at my word.
I also find that the DMB sticker adds a nice touch. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
It all started with Comment 120 in the latest Free for All. Floozy said she now e-crushes on 26 World. It reminded me that I’ve had a lot of e-crushes on this site.. Lys, Floozy, Lu Sid and more that are super secret.
What is an E-Crush?
It’s a meaningless crush on someone that rarely goes fulfilled. Instead of normal crushes which desire looks, baby production potential and security, you value digital snark, alcoholic banter and wit. Rumor has it that some e-crushes turn into real crushes, but this is very rare.
The nighttime pictures from the top of the tower crane in C-Ville are a disservice to the community.
The pictures only invite others to try the same thing…[personally identifiable information redacted] I find your posting of the pictures irresponsible.
Will you be as quick to post the pictures of someone who falls to their death trying to copy the stunt ?
We obviously don’t want to make you guys mad, so stuff like this is your call…
Should we have posted pictures from the top of the crane?
The rumor is the guy who co-owns Michael’s Bistro is holed up in the restaurant and won’t come out. Supposedly, they’ve been closed for days because of whatever he’s doing in there. One person thinks he’s been locked down in the Bistro for a week.
