Fling is a word which literally means to throw or to toss, but it has a very different meaning in our country. It’s a slang word that means a relationship between two individuals without any commitments, no expectations, just mutual understanding, just a fling.

Usually, it starts from friendship. You get to be introduced, meet often, having common friends, going to same parties, similar gathering to attend to and the like. You get to know each other very well that you go to group dates and eventually you go out just the two of you, just a friendly date.

This relationship is not complicated, though you have an understanding, you don’t get to ask questions and demand to that person. It’s like you just look into each others eyes and there’s magic, you’re not just sure if it’s love or just pure infatuation.

You enjoy each others company so much but the world doesn’t know about it. It’s just between the two of you, you say you’re just friends but it’s with different benefits.

It’s a difficult situation though; you can’t ask if he/she is involved to another person, you can’t even ask if what your relationship status is. All you can say is that you’re happy when you’re together and that’s what is important right now. When it will end, you just won’t know. It’s because from the start, you’re not certain on where are you going to.

How can you handle this circumstance? I’m still not sure how to respond. Experiencing it is fun, intimate and memorable. It adds color to life, but it’s dangerous at times too. It’s like you’re assuming that something’s going on with you because of the unusual attention you’re giving to each other, that you’re expecting that it might grow to something deeper but it all sums up to so many questions and worries. It’s really not advisable to be into this kind of association, many people might get confused, you may hurt another persons feelings as well. It lacks honestly, trust and commitment which are essential aspects when you’re in a special relationship. You’re not even sure if there is love between the two of you or just special friendship.

Life is really mysterious; you get involved with different types of people. But for sure, you get to learn from every experience and having someone as a fling gives you inspiration to be a better person when you get into a relationship. It’s still healthier if it’s clear between the two of you on what you really are into. As of now, I try to avoid get involved into having a fling as much as possible.
