After online dating became part of the everyday life of Canadians, a new trend called casual dating emerged.

Casual dating is all about Straight-forward meetings and Clear Intentions

Nowadays, almost every Canadian knows something about online dating and has most likely tried it themselves. There are also a lot of happy couples that have met through online dating everywhere already, amongst every Canadian’s group of acquaintances, peers, friends and relatives. Almost everyone in Canada now knows of a couple who have built their relationship through online dating.  Why not? It is very easy and produces results! A new emerging trend, however, is casual dating. In this particular type of online dating, it is mainly all about finding a partner for an erotic adventure. Since some Canadians are often not looking for a committed relationship but only for a sexual experience, they resort to casual dating. The rule for this type of dating is this- anything can happen but nothing has to happen.

If it remains within the framework of such an erotic meeting or one-night stand, or whether it develops into an affair, an exclusively dating set-up or even a committed love affair is completely open and up to both parties to decide. The only difference is that the original motivation that brought the partners together was their desires for a sexual adventure.

Casual dating is about like-minded people finding each other

However, casual dating should not be confused with a service for professional men and women. Canadians who simply won't want to beat around the bush meet on these private sex portals.
The Canadians who want to be direct to the point and not beat around the bush use these private sex portals to meet. They are looking for just sex and use the convenient and targetted way to find people looking for the same thing through the Internet. Hence, casual dating is the logical subsequent development of online dating. The connection via the internet and the presence of these sites allow for a targeted search for a suitable partner. In this case, it primarily concerns suitability sexually. As a general rule, the better the casual dating site, the faster the meeting.

The advantages of using these sites are obvious:

• It is a direct and quick way of meeting people
• It creates an authentic situation
• Both parties know that there are no obligations
• Not having expectations avoids disappointments as much as possible

Not all Casual dating portals keep their promises

Unfortunately, not all casual dating providers keep their promises. Especially in the erotic area, many black sheep sites can cause havoc and can damage the reputation of the other well-meaning ones. It is therefore important to use a reputable portal that can really provide private meetings. In principle, you should be warned about free portals, who often earn their money with dubious and malicious methods (mediation to porn websites, viruses and malware, spam).

In our tests, we noticed that the following criteria are crucial for the success with a casual dating portal:

• Number of members: The more members in Canada, the faster a suitable partner is found
   
• Quality of the search functions: Can you search according to certain sexual preferences (E.g. group sex)? Or can preferences be excluded? Can you search in your vicinity?
   
• Quality of the communication functions: How quickly and easily can other members be addressed? Can other members be blocked if they are harassing you?
   
• Confidentiality and security: Can the anonymity be guaranteed? How are the profile data handled?

*The winners of our tests are listed above. The portals were evaluated and compared according to these criteria and more. A look at each of the test reports is worth your time if you are thinking of entering the casual dating scene.

Is casual dating also suitable for women?

Yes. Certainly. Rightly so (and about damn time!), the emancipation and equality in Canada has reached a status in all areas of society especially in terms of gender. Today, Canada’s women are free, self-determining and outspoken. It is the women’s right to have sex without obligations if desired and they are no longer constrained by the cultural double standard that only men could be sexually liberated.

With this, why should women not use the benefits of the Internet for this purpose? Many casual dating portals actually put more emphasis in making their services appealing for women. Oftentimes, the membership for women is completely free of charge. They also ensure that women feel safe and secure using these sites through the use of the reporting and locking functions, allowing users to report intrusive members and block them.
Amusingly, most casual dating portals also do not have a filthy appearance and offer discreet and professional services, which is probably why women are not intimidated or turned off with the sites. In fact, many Canadian women already take advantage of casual dating portals.

Quite surpisingly, we noticed in our tests that there are very little unattractive women using the online services. It was quite the opposite of the perception that the unattractive and “desperate” ones are the ones who resort to these methods. Frequently, there are more beautiful and sexy women in the portals.

What heightens the casual dating experiences?

Every now and then, we get feedback from the casual daters. Most Canadians are excited and surprised how easy it works. Hardly anyone knew in advance or had expected that he would have such a good experience. Obviously, the experience depends very much on the individual experience and expectations. Of course, there are also negative impressions. In our opinion, these negative reactions are mainly because of false and/or exaggerated expectations or incorrect behavior. To make the casual dating experience as positive as possible, we put together three important tips:

Manage Expectations

Don't expect that you can arrange a sex meeting within a few hours with a supermodel, unless you are Brad Pitt or Eva Green! Of course, you can have such meetings moving forward, but not right from the beginning. On the portal, you will find mainly ordinary Canadians, just like the ones you meet in everyday life outside.

Maintain Respect

Deal respectfully with each other. Treat all members with a friendly and charming attitude all the time. Just because it is a page for casual dating and everyone there knows that sex is the goal and motivation doesn't mean that you can charge like a bull at the gate. A too direct and vulgar attitude is rarely successful, and ultimately disrespectful.

Prioritize Security

This is purely common sense but as a reminder, never meet someone alone at your own place or a very private place on the first date! It is better to get to know your match in a public place. A coffee shop, restaurant or a bar is ideal for this.
