Five Reasons Summer Flings Are Okay
1. It does not have to be something serious.
As long as both parties are on the same page, this relationship could serve as a time for people to be themselves and enjoy each other’s company. Neither person needs to worry about impressing the other or winning the favor of parental units. If both people plan on moving on come August, then they can relax and go with the flow.
2. We can broaden our horizons
Each person has his or her own quirks, interests and nuances. Exploring different types of people will help us become more tolerant and cultured people. Perhaps this relationship will allow you to meet someone who bites their nails, or hates the smell of watermelon, or enjoys Thai food. By gleaning experiences, we become educated and broadminded. These characteristics will become valuable as people enter college.
3. Have fun
How To Train Your Dragon 2 just came out in theaters, and most of your friends act too sophisticated for animated movies. You can call up this person with no shame and gorge yourself with popcorn while giggling to the jokes alongside seven-year-old children.
4. Practice meeting new people
Entering college usually means immersing oneself in a large community of strangers. This connection will help you refresh your ice-breaking skills, and remember how to make friends. As you meet new people, you must become more comfortable with your identity as you share it with others. This allows you to solidify your personality and the way you approach new friendships.
5. Take a chill pill.
Not every relationship ends in marriage. Upon meeting a new person, you don’t need to consider the appearances of your possible offspring. Spending time with someone simply because you want to is okay. Allow yourself to relax and share your life with a fun person before you enter an unfamiliar world, and don’t worry about the ending of your story.
