casual relationship

Everyone has had friends of the opposite sex, right? Do you have sex with them? Usually not. However, the idea of a casual relationship is another way of saying "friends with benefits." This is a friendship between two people that allows sexual intercourse. Rather than having a relationship that focuses on the emotional needs, this type of relationship is based only on sexual needs. In between boyfriends? Feeling restless? Horny? Lonely? It's at this time when you call up your your friend and fullfill the "obligations" of a casual relationship. During this, you are fullfulling your sexual needs. There's no need to mess around with with sadness, jealousy, or any other pesky emotions that are found in typical relationships.
In Sex and The City, Carrie is heartbroken over Mr. Big. This is when she calls her friend to fullfill her sexual desires in this casual relationship.

De Facto Relationship

De Facto- means "in effect" or "in practice"

Relationship- A "romantic" connection between two people

A De Facto Relationship is when two people are essentially dating but they haven't made it "official" and claim that they are not an item when asked by other people. De Facto Couples engage in all of the activities that a normal couple would, such as constantly hanging out with each other and hooking up on a regular basis (usually, but not always, while intoxicated). Such relationships do not often endure for over a month because, by that time, they have either dissolved or have been made official. The De Facto is somewhat common in American high schools.

The De Facto Relationship is not to confused with a short lived relationship that is purely physical. This would most often be labeled as Fuck Buddies.

It is also not to be confused with a relationship that involves the dub group De Facto (however rad that may be).
Observant Teenager: What's the deal with Ben and Mimi? I always see them hanging out but I hear that they're not dating.

Someone Who Knows Whats Up: They've got a pretty good De Facto Relationship going but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it's legit.

Observant Teenager: I dig. Speaking of De Facto, i feel like some dub. Let's find a dark basement and groove this shit.

Relationship Roulette

A new relationship turned so horribly wrong, that you are willing to pull the fucking trigger and end it by any means possible. Most often by brutal honesty: the words no one wants to hear/you can never take back, or just plane old calling the DB out. Warning- this has the potential to backfire & make the situation So much worse & down right hysterical (I mean dysfunctional).
Example (calling said DB out):

You: "No, D. I cannot see you anymore. We are a fucking hot mess together"
Him: "But I'm in love with you, it was meant to be, I want babies with you, we are soul mates...etc......."
You: "Wow, D, you've totally opened my eyes. These past 3 days have been magical! Let's Facebook everyone and tell them the good news and YES, babies, babies, babies... NOW!!!

~(Friends reading above Texts!!!)... damn, shot down! she totally pulled out the "Relationship Roulette"

Example (Brutal Honesty):
Him:" I know it's only been 3 days, I'm going through a nasty divorce, we live states away from one another- but I'm in love with you, you are the one".
You: "lets just break this down: you are diagnosed bipolar, sporting a vasectomy and wife(x)? that is literal trailer trash (no, we just dropped your kid off at her trailer while she yelled obscenities at my car (windows up)! You have no compassion, my father just died but you 'aren't going to tiptoe around the fact that being a father is Awesome'. I'm a fucking Rockstar in bed. However, I've never wanted to try sea cucumber. I am scarred for life"

~Damn, man down! Enough "Relationship Roulette"
