Functional Relationship

In order to be apart of any kind of relationship honesty and trust have to be the foundation of it. No matter if we talking friendship, relationship or family its necessary. So the fact that we will be discussing things alternative to monogamy does not mean that honesty, trust, and maturity are not necessities. 

Just because you choose not to be in a monogamous relationship does not mean you get to run around doing whatever you want and being as irresponsible as you want, in order to be in non monogamous relationships you have to be more upfront, more truthful, more mature and more honest, because you may be dealing with multiple people. This is like advanced dating and most people can’t get it right with one person, so trying to do the advanced stuff may be out your league and your failure rate will be much higher because most people are not ready to willingly and knowingly share partners in a relationship. But I think people should know there options anyway

Lets start with the simple stuff like a functional relationship. Just as the name suggest its a relationship with a specific function, money, companionship, sex, etc.But usually these relationship are designed to be short term, until something bigger better comes along arrangements, or until its ran its course or one of us wants more than the other is willing to provide.  Now some nasty nicknames can attach to you if you get in one of theses relationships and mess it up

However theses nicknames are usually attached to people who were not honest from the beginning, that this all that they wanted. The trouble with functional relationships is not the getting into them, its the lies that people build the relationships on, there are plenty of people that are willing to just have sex with a person for a while and in the mean time be looking for someone that wants the same things out of a more permanent stable relationship as they want.  It doesn’t always revolve around sex, I know plenty of people that quite literally play sugar daddy or I guess we call them sugar mommas, to people just to have companionship and a decent date every now and then, and they don’t mind paying for it just because they are lonely or don’t have time for commitment. But problems arise when people discover lies.

Now will the average person mess with you, if upon first meeting you, you tell them you are only willing to date them because they serve a very specific function, NO. There will be far less people that will than those that will.  But there are people that will, as long as you keep it real with them, they just don’t want to wake up one day and realize that all they were was sex, or a sponsor to get your bills paid, etc. They were planning to build  with you and you were just there for the function, they would have still provided the function, they just didn’t want time wasted believing you would be long term.  The realization is that people try to make their dating circle to big, and they are willing to lie and deceive to make it bigger rather than accept the people that are in that pool, that want the same things as you, and are willing to provide the same things you want. 

Well, that just one type we’ll continue to dig into these other types
