      1. hahha so exact, and it may seem well researched but clearly flawed.
        For instance, by the time you have 12 ONS, you are way deep into a relationship, assuming they are not consecutive nights. and if they are, they cease to be ONS.

  9. For me is 3 weeks long term relationship! In three weeks you will learn their bad qualities. They start chuckling that YOU should do everything you did before you ended up in a relationship! What should you have in your relationship if your partner does not do everything you did when you were yourself?😄😄😄
