Everyone\u2019s got \u2018em, right? Well, not quite. They\u2019re common, to be sure, but there is one subset of the population that experiences significantly fewer problems and frustrations with dating than everyone else. People in open relationships tend to be much happier and fulfilled with their situations than the general public. If you\u2019ve ever found yourself thinking that maybe dating just isn\u2019t worth it, maybe it\u2019s <strong>time for you to consider an open relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Sexual Dissatisfaction<\/h3>\n<p>The number one problem that most men complain about when it comes to dating is sexual dissatisfaction. Whether it\u2019s that they don\u2019t have sex as often as they\u2019d like, or that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/sex-love\/advice\/a1846\/bust-out-of-a-sex-rut\/\" target=\"_blank\">sex has become boring and routine<\/a>, and that they crave more variety, a lot of guys are pretty miserable with what they\u2019re receiving in the bedroom. An open relationship can solve this problem once and for all. When you\u2019re free to have sex with more than one person, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll be having sex a lot more often. Not only will you have more sex, it won\u2019t be boring and routine, because you\u2019ll be getting the variety you\u2019re biologically hardwired to crave. <\/p>\n<h3>Emotional Drama<\/h3>\n<p>Another dating woe that most guys come up against on a regular basis is the emotional drama that is so common in committed relationships. Whether it\u2019s fights about not spending enough time together or tears and falling apart because you looked at another woman, it\u2019s a rare week that goes by that most guys don\u2019t experience some form of emotional drama with the women they date. By comparison, open relationships typically have very little <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/blog\/having-sex-wanting-intimacy\/201404\/stop-the-drama-queen-cycle\" target=\"_blank\">emotional drama<\/a> to contend with. This is in part due to the nature of the relationship, and in part because of the type of women who seek out open relationships. In open relationships, it\u2019s a given that you won\u2019t be spending all of your time together. It\u2019s also a given that you will see other women. In other words, you both maintain your own lives outside of each other. The type of women who are drawn to open relationships tend to be less emotionally driven, less jealous, and more independent. Chances are high that if a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pof.com\/interests\/open_relationship.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">woman is seeking an open relationship<\/a>, she\u2019s as eager as you are to avoid the emotional flare-ups. <\/p>\n<h3>Being at Her Beck and Call<\/h3>\n<p>You know the drill. In most relationships, it\u2019s a given that if the woman wants you to do something, you\u2019re going to drop everything to do it. Whether that means canceling plans with friends to go shopping with her or spending your weekend visiting with her parents and helping her mow the lawn, you\u2019re expected to just do it. What you\u2019d rather be doing doesn\u2019t matter that much, and if you say no, you\u2019ll be accused of being selfish and uncaring. In an open relationship, expectations are different. Everyone knows from the beginning that you\u2019re both going to have your own lives, and she\u2019s not going to think you\u2019re an awful person if you don\u2019t feel like doing something she wants to do. She\u2019ll get it, because she\u2019s got her own life, too, and she isn\u2019t going to want to drop her plans to be with you, either.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/btesMdeBO6A\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<h3>She Wants More Than You<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nOne of the most awkward and frustrating <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/01\/13\/fashion\/the-end-of-courtship.html?pagewanted=all&#038;_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">conventional dating woes<\/a> is mismatched expectations about where the relationship is going. Not always, but generally speaking, this means that the woman wants a more serious and committed relationship than the guy. Sometimes this is due to communication issues or the guy being less than honest. Sometimes it\u2019s because the woman\u2019s feeling changed in ways she didn\u2019t anticipate as time went by. Almost always, it\u2019s because it\u2019s sort of the general expectation with conventional dating that this is how things go. The longer you\u2019re together, the more serious and committed the relationship is supposed to get. And eventually you\u2019ll either move in together, get married, or break up. Because what other options are there? In an open relationship, the expectations are entirely different, because it is made clear from the beginning that no matter how much time goes by, both of you want to keep your freedom and ability to hook up with whoever you want. Instead of a \u201cnatural progression\u201d of a relationship, it\u2019s the realization that if something is working well, it doesn\u2019t need to change, and in fact, changing it could make a good thing go bad.<\/p>\n<h3>Give It a Try<\/h3>\n<p>If it sounds too good to be true, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/sex-and-relationships\/open-relationship\" target=\"_blank\">I encourage you to give it a try<\/a> and see for yourself. If you\u2019ve been suffering through years, or even decades, of dating woes, you owe it to yourself to shift the paradigm and experience dating in a whole new way. An open relationship may end up being just the thing to bring your woes to an end. What do you have to lose? If you\u2019re unhappy with the way things are, you either choose to stay in the same misery or to try something new. Opt for the something new. Life is short. Enjoy it while you can.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"bloglnk\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adulthookup.com\/dating\/allaboutlove2\/88822\/Sexbuddyguide-blog-openrelationshiprules-AH\" target=\"_blank\">:: Special Offer For Our Readers: Free Membership On: Adult Hookup ::<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dating woes.
