It’s 3 a.m. Saturday night (er, Sunday morning) and you are stumbling home from the bars in your favorite kitten heels, only to hear that familiar sound coming from your cell. No, it’s not that annoying friend you try to avoid, crying because her lying, cheating boyfriend didn’t called her back. Again. It’s not even your super protective mother “just checking in” to make sure that you didn’t drink and drive. Actually, it’s that delicious boy that you’ve been seeing on a somewhat regular basis, sending you another late-night text suggesting you come “Kick it”. Like he did last Saturday. And the one before that. At 3 in the morning.

It seems every college girl has fallen victim to a swoon-worthy guy at one time or another. You know the type. He’s the one guy you know is bad for you but still can’t seem to shake. Like the meathead frat boy with gorgeous blonde curls and at least three “girlfriends” on campus. Or the hippie stoner kid that shares your love of The Beatles (but obviously does not believe that “All You Need Is Love”).

Odds are, if the boy is only calling/texting/contacting you in any way when he is obviously inebriated (and/or lonely), you might be receiving the dreaded “booty call”. This situation occurs when you like a boy and he likes you, at least enough to attempt to get you undressed.

Not sure if you are headed down booty call boulevard? I found an interesting article at SavvyMiss.com that addresses the complicated issue of sex v. love and provides some interesting insight into the booty call dilemma. The article examines a few key elements: Does he want to cuddle, canoodle and stick around after things get hot and heavy? Does he roll over and drift off to dreamland without giving you a second thought? Or – worse – head straight for the door with some lame excuse?

Go ahead and give the article a look. It’s hard to go wrong when the advice is being given by a man. Hey, you could possibly save yourself a ton of drama and heartbreak….and help you make room in your life for a guy who wants to see you BEFORE midnight.
