Part 3 - Level of Commitment
Does NSA mean no commitment?? Well, that depends on what type and what level of commitment we're talking about. In any relationship the type of commitment can generally be categorized as Time, Emotional, Financial, and Legal. And the level of commitment in each category can define what type of relationship it is. For example, in a casual dating relationship there is usually not a lot of time and emotional commitment, and certainly no financial and legal commitment. On the other end of the spectrum, a marriage requires a high level of time, emotional, financial, and ultimately legal commitment.
So where does NSA sugar relationships fit in? Generally speaking, the level of time and emotional commitment is similar to casual dating, but there is a certain amount of financial commitment depending on the arrangement. It is somewhere between casual dating and committed relationship as the following table illustrates.
