Nervous

"and if your son doesn't, I'll bet your daughter knows..."

Guess who has a date tomorrow night?
Yes, boys and girls, be jealous. Yours truly is spending the evening with my newest flame. Except this one is for real. The kind of boy who puts the stupid smile on my face that makes my friends ask who it is I'm thinking about.

I've been thinking about this thing with commitment, and to me, there are different levels. Theres "relationship" which at our age is the highest: love, sex and no cheating. "Open relationship" is a more open version, where physical cheating is allowed, I've noticed that this is what usually happens to a long-distance relationship. Then comes the "dating" level of commitment: you like eachother, and see eachother regularly... but you're not committed to eachother, and you can date many people at once. The second lowest level would be friends with benefits, which means you get along and have fun together, and ocasionally sleep together. The lowest level? Booty call. You're not even friends and don't need to know eachother very well. You just sleep together when you don't have a better option.
I've noticed that, as you go down the list of levels of commitment, the amount of sex you're likely to have goes up. At least considering the time you spend together... like considering the percetage of time spent together you're likely to spend in bed. Well, "dating" wouldn't actually involve much sex I suppose, but it's likely to escalate into a relationship, unless you're dating several people, in which case you're probably the kind of person who has a friend with who you can indulge in such benefits.
I spend too much time thinking about these things.
