Mr. Right Now: Easy-Going. Likes to laugh. Knows your favourite kind of ice-cream. Your parents do not know of his existence. Has the ability to turn a mediocre night into a field day. Drinking habits are worrisome. His car is in desperate need of a tune-up.

He may comes in many different forms, but his casual demeanor is a universal quality. He knows how to have a great time, never flakes out on dates and doesn’t pressure you with any talks of a “relationship.”

You’re not exactly sure what kind of work he does, or if you do, you know he isn’t the most ambitious kind of guy. He never fails to make you laugh and doesn’t give you a hard time when you’re busy. He’s charming, easy to be around and completely drama-free. Even if wedding bells aren’t ringing in your head, he knows how to cheer you up when you’ve had a crappy day.

So why is it okay to date Mr.Right Now?

We sometimes find ourselves stumbling into quasi “relationships” that seem to work more out of convenience than anything else. Perhaps you moved to a new city and wanted to meet new people. Maybe you’ve found yourself back on the market after a long-term relationship ended. Whatever your reasoning, dating Mr.Right Now is a great way to improve your dating skills and have a gas. Who cares if you only see him once a week? He may not float your entire boat, but what’s wrong with paddling for a while?

This is not to say that you should spend all your time in mediocre relationships, but do not fret if you have something that kinda-sorta works with someone who is lively and respectful. Whether he’s an Elvis Impersonator, a painter, or a comedian who isn’t very funny, don’t feel scared to date outside of your comfort zone.

Dating Mr.Right Now is a great way to boost your confidence and wake up your inner vixen. Getting out, seeing the city or checking out the newest restaurants are all great ways to enjoy yourself.

Open yourself up to dating different kinds of people and experiencing relationships that don’t necessarily follow the ideal image you had in mind. It will give you life experience that will help shape your future dating decisions.
