There comes a stage in life when you have had a few heartbreaks and the idea of emotionally investing into someone scares you.
At least, I was going through this phase. After being in a serious relationship that did not turn out as expected, the last thing I wanted to do was to step into another one. But then, there was a dilemma. My married friends were busy in their life and the rest were having fun with their partners.
Being single gave me all the freedom but somewhere, I wanted a companion as well. The only feasible solution to my problem seemed to be a casual relationship. Thanks to dating apps, I was in a no-strings-attached relationship within two weeks and happily bid farewell to my single status. The guy I liked was well-educated, fun-loving and most importantly, understood what I needed from the relationship.
He was about to shift to Australia after ten months and a casual relationship was the perfect option for him as well. We had a discussion on how we will stay honest with each other and enjoy the present without making any plans for our future. So, my love life took a new turn and every day brought a sense of excitement.
We used to chat almost the entire day and took comfort in finding we had a lot in common. We spent most of our evenings strolling in the park and were equally happy spending the rest visiting the popular eateries or pubs in our neighbourhood.
