We all love our classic films. We love to see a good story beautifully told through the vehicle of film. But every now and then, it’s alright to…indulge in something that’s a little less high brow and a little more ridiculous. That film is Booty Call. You probably haven’t seen it since it was released in 1997, so to refresh your memory, check out the trailer below.

So you’ve been getting vibes from this one guy all night, and you’re definitely feeling him.

Hooking up is supposed to be fun, but most importantly safe, so there are definitely some rules that need to be followed. Here are 14 dos and don’ts when it comes to hooking up with someone.

Having a friend with benefits is one of the greatest perks of the modern age. You get all the physical and emotional health benefits of having regular sex, you keep your libido up between relationships, your self-esteem sky rockets, and you don’t have any of the emotional roller coasters of a real relationship. BUT, that’s only if you do things right. Here’s how:

Texting is the most utilized form of communication between couples, friends and friends with benefits today. It’s efficient. It can be flirty with all those emoticons. It allows for communication at any time, like in a meeting or on the toilet, but it also allows you to avoid real conversation. So, it can be hard to read how a guy feels about you, beyond those little letters on the screen.

Usually when you meet a man you have a general idea of what you want from him at that particular time. Sometimes he might look like your future husband and other times he might look like a future horizontal hump partner.

If you want to use a man specifically that’s your decision, you’re grown.

But if you want to be more than a cut buddy, a jumpoff, if you will, then take heed to these tips from Your Tango.com.

Are you the woman that he wants to settle down with and ultimately enter into a blissful one-flesh union in the near future?  Or, are you just a booty call?   For myriad women, the contemplation of these particular questions does not occur, because they have been blessed with the presence of committed, disciplined, trustworthy and loving men.  Unfortunately, for a plethora of women, the above-mentioned questions are actually substantive.  Some commentators would make the unsubstantiated generalization that women are not so naïve that they cannot discern whether they are really a prospective spouse or a booty call to their mates.  Over and over, though, tangible evidence shows that the hearts of many women are broken, because they thought that they were really in a committed relationship.  To be sure, there are women who purposely want to be a booty call and engage in a sexual relationship with a man with no attachment.  However, if this is not the case, it is imperative to recognize certain indications that a man may not be interested in you beyond sexual intercourse.   The following list is not all-inclusive but does represent some of the signs to look for in order to avoid heartbreak:
