How to Get an NSA Date
NSA is short for "no strings attached." An NSA date is one where each half of the couple participates with no expectations for commitment, additional dates or possibly even further contact. The specifics can vary by couple -- some NSA daters don't mind repeat dates, but want the freedom to see others. Other NSA daters want only one date, possibly as a way to meet many people without the pressure to impress or because they are just visiting an area. Be upfront about your expectations with your date to avoid miscommunication or hurt feelings.

1
Tell your friends and family the kind of dating relationship you're seeking. They may have other NSA daters in mind for you.
-
2
Communicate openly with potential dates. Tell him or her upfront that you are seeking a no-strings-attached situation. The other person may have questions about this; answer them honestly. Avoid sugar coating or lying about your desires, as this will create expectations that you do not want to meet.

Use online dating sites specifically for NSA daters. Try mainstream dating sites as well, but remember that most of these are for people who seek long-term relationships.
-
4
Use dating boards or personal ads to get an NSA date. Many specialized boards or personal ad sections have a dedicated area for NSA daters -- look for the NSA designation or phrases such as "casual encounters."
-
5
Reassess your NSA dating situation regularly if you're seeing the same person. His or her expectations may evolve over time. Having a conversation about your desire for the dates does not add strings, it simply keeps you both on the same page.
