    I don't have any interest in sex without love. I don't have any problem with other people who do, but for me a romantic relationship is far more important than physical gratification. I want someone there for me, who cares and wants to be there as much as I want to be there.

    Both are good. Obviously relationships mean more, but I'm not the sort to bother waiting three dates in for sex, and I have no problem doing stuff with guys whom I know I'll likely not have much to do with again.

    I am quite aromantic... I don't see myself having a relationship that is more than "friends with benefits."
    Maybe the right person will come along but I don't have much desire to go looking for them, if that makes sense.

    Serious relationship only. I feel like dating around is a waste of time. It has to be done in order to find the right person to settle down with, but to be honest I just don't have the energy for it. I wish you could meet "the one" right away and live happily ever after.

    I would prefer to have a (serious) relationship. It's not that there is anything wrong with casual hookups, it's just that I would enjoy a relationship more :slight_smile:

    Um, definitely actual relationships. Hookups and open relationships are not my cup of tea

    I'm not looking for a relationship, but I do enjoy sex. I'd be crazy if I forfeited the latter because I don't have the former.

    I'd say a serious relationship, when I have feelings for someone the romantic feelings are honestly really strong.

    But I wouldn't say no to a good hook up either, I'd just say that usually I'm interested in a serious relationship.

    How about the long-term stability of a relationship, with the excitement of a hook up, all wrapped up into a monogamous agreement?

    Or is this asking for too much?

    I do want a relationship but at the same time I want to be left alone most of the time. Hook ups are new to me but I'm willing to give it a try.

    Definitely a serious relationship...after experiencing both I know which one I personally feel more right with! Guess a hook up is okay too as I do enjoy sex...but I feel very guilty & embarassed to do hook ups though lol.

    I'm mostly interested in steady, committed relationships.

    I've tried the FWB thing, and it didn't work for me because I wasn't the only one he had so I got jealous, and I developed feelings which weren't reciprocated, so I was heartbroken.

    I also tried the hook-up/one night stand thing and that was disastrous too. My feelings always gets in the way.

    So yeah, I prefer being in a relationship over just fucking around (pun intended). :icon_wink

    Right now I don't really want to take part in either as I'm quite happy as I am but if I was forced to choose I'd choose casual hookups as they require less responsibility and provide less hassle.

    I want a serious relationship. Hookups always turn out bad and regrettable for me :frowning2:.
