One Night Stand

One night stand, affair, fling, casual date?

What are all these? Aren't they different terms for more or less the same thing? Not quite! A one night stand is a one-time thing. You meet, you're both in the mood, everything falls into place and you spend the night together. End of story. It's something for singles or for cheating lovers. An affair or so-called "bit on the side" almost always involves betraying a spouse or long-term partner with the same person repeatedly. It could be described as a second relationship which runs parallel to the main one. With one night stands, both parties usually know very little about eachother and for whatever reason, the escapade usually remains a one-off.

Casual dating is different. The daters might have been accquainted for years or be in the process of getting to know eachother. Either way, the liasion isn't limited to one night only. To ensure that casual daters who meet online get off to a really good start, C-Date matches only those with really compatible profiles and desires. Then it's up the members themselves to get active - which is easy when you have the reassurance that your match is looking for a casual date with somebody like you.

What exactly is casual dating?

Casual dating is a new urban culture for men, women and couples who are looking for occassional intimacy and pleasure. It is more than a one night stand and better than an affair. A casual date rarely turns into a long-term relationship - but it's not impossible.
