Oh Hail The Purple Patch
The girls and I hit the town for a night of cocktails on the weekend – maybe too many cocktails. Throughout the evening I got an array of text messages for young lads who wanted to meet up with me that night – don’t you just love hearing from blokes, only when they’re out drinking with their mates and all they want is a booty call???
Being the big flirt that I am, I text back… to all 5 blokes! Eek – my bad? I reached over to my girlfriends and questioned ‘Is playing 5 guys at the one time… a bad thing?’ After a few raised eyebrows and gasps my friend Rachel exclaimed ‘Hell no darling… you’re just having a purple patch!’
A purple patch? A new term which is very new to me but apparently very common in the dating world. It’s a period of time in which is opposite to a drought- it’s raining men girlfriends and there’s nothing wrong with that!!!
It occurred to me that I have had a couple of purple patches. When my ex and I broke up, I went on a bit of a rampage. I hit the gym, got a new wardrobe and felt great! Each weekend the gals and I headed out to the best bars in town – not in the event to find men, but to go dancing and have fun.
Funny thing was – when I wasn’t even remotely interested in men, a lot of men started to become interested in me!!! Why? Maybe because I wasn’t giving off that desperate vibe! Before I knew it, I had 7 guys going at the same time – not intimate with any of them, more companions who I would go out to dinner or the movies with!
! Now, god bless the purple patch but do be careful – having too many guys going at the same time could lead to a little confusion… you may forget who you’re suppose to be dating that night or in my case you may mix up their names – not good form on my behalf
Although some may look down at the purple patch in that it could all end in tears and someone getting hurt – I say what’s the harm? It’s not only great for your self confidence but you get to spend time with a variety of different and fun people!
RIDDLE ME THIS: IS THE 'PURPLE PATCH' A GOOD THING OR COULD IT BE A DATING TREND THAT ENDS IN TEARS?

Of course, one would not partake in a booty call let alone 5.
Is this something you would consider appropriate? Even one booty call?

But do you think booty calls are acceptable? It would be considered that blokes drink, get the confidence up and then text someone they fancy in exceptation to hook up for sex? Surely you have or someone you know has done this?

Personally, I wouldn't be into it. Guys do it all the time - mostly, when they've rejected or they think they've got no other opportunities. The booty call is the last gas station before the desert, in a way.
All the girls that I've known to do this have had ulterior motives. Most of them were expecting it to turn into something more, or were doing it as a revenge against a past lover.
But don't think women partake in a booty call because they have an ulterior motive - they too may simply just want sex. Maybe they don't want a relationship - just plain fun!
We do can date like men!
