You meet a hot guy or girl, you get along and everything seems perfect. There are bundles of laughs, and the drink is flowing. Better still, you like them. And you begin to think you might just like them a little bit more. In the blink of an eye, mobile numbers are exchanged, and the next meet up is sorted. Things move on and the dating process starts. All of a sudden you notice that they are steering away from deep conversations and sensitive topics. To make it worse, they are adding dollops of references about their exes and how much they love doing their own thing.

It’s a definite- you might be a great chat, funny, successful and totally hot, but those things won't stop you from falling into the category that no one wants to be: the booty call.

Of course, if you quite like the idea of being a booty call then you’re winning! On the flipside, we’re here to help you figure out exactly where you stand if you’re thinking you may well be just a booty call.

As London’s #1 speed dating hosts, Dateinadash are here how to tell if you've fallen off the wagon with no hope of getting back on...

1. They want minimal interaction with you

There might've been conversation and 'getting-to-know-you'-ness in the beginning, but that was just the ground work. They don't want to know about your parents, your experiences in life or what makes you awesome, they also don't care. It's about seeing you, then un-seeing you pretty promptly. Sound familiar? You may well be a booty call so consider your next move.

2. Their friends

You haven't met and will never meet their friends- unless of course it's by pure coincidence. And watch how awkward that will be. This is indicative of someone who wants to keep you in the third ring of their inner sanctum.

While a guy may not introduce a girl to his friends until he feels secure with the relationship and vice versa, if you’ve been seeing each other for several months, and you haven’t seen even a shadow of their friends, there might be something wrong. If they’ve never talked about introducing you to his/her friends, most probably you are their secret booty call.

3. The show off

This is pretty obvious. They will never show you off to anyone they're talking to who's the same gender as you. They want to keep their lines of opportunity open at any given chance and don't want to come across as 'marked territory'.

4. The future

There's no talk of when they see you next, what you'll be doing next week/month/year. That's because there is no future with you. Until the next time they've had too much to drink and there's no other option than to see you. Sound familiar? Stop and have a think about how this makes you feel and make a decision moving forwards.

5. The brush offs

This is the kind of stuff you'd expect after a considerable amount of time spent together, but brush-off comments related to how busy they are with work, how much 'fun' you're having together and questions about why you'd make it complicated are alarm bells for the reality.

6. All the odd times

You're only hearing from them late at night? Yep, booty call. A 3am text message doesn't mean they're concerned about your welfare, it means they're seeing if you're awake to summon you over for things. Human instinct things...ahem, you get the drift!

7. Where'd they go?

There's now weekday conversation unless pressured to keep relations nice. They won't respond too readily, if at all, and can run the risk of coming-up with bulls*** excuses later that are short, simple and nonchalant.

8. Dates?

Never going on dates? Why would they. They get exactly what they want without the cost. If they don’t want to wine and dine but instead build your interactions on the presumption of a naughty night in, it’s very likely you’re just a booty call.

9. What's in a kiss and cuddles...

No lip-love? Dead set giveaway of someone who has no affection for you as kissing is affectionate, not lustful. Everyone remembers Pretty Woman. No kissing on the lips because that would show that they care and desire you in more than a ‘I want your body’ sense.

No cuddling before or after? Standard booty call vibes. Sure, 'cuddling' can be used as a euphemism for a naked romp, but sometimes, it can literally mean cuddling. If there's no pre or post-naked lying down and enjoying of each other's company, it’s pretty safe to say you're out.
