We all know the hell it can bring when one partner gets caught up in their feelings and wants or assumes there is something more that can lead to a relationship.
You’ve been seeing that guy for a while but still haven’t established any boundaries. Sure, he may be into you, but if you’re not sure of what your situation is, maybe he is just casually dating you. Casual dating can be fun when the both of you are on the same page; when you both know what you want from each other and are not ready to be exclusive.
If you feel as if you’re stuck, these men can shed some light on what they consider a casual relationship is and if you’re going through something similar with someone you thought was your bae, it’s time to re-evaluate a few things.
“Basically nobody has to check with anyone else. Don’t expect to get good morning or good night texts from me everyday. Sure, we will talk every now and then, but it’s not an obligation.”
“If I haven’t called you my girlfriend yet, and we have been kicking it for over a month or two, sis know we are just casually dating and I’m probably seeing other women.”
“Friends with benefits really. You get together, hang out, have sex, with no strings attached. I’m not saying these types of relationships are good or bad, but that is what comes to mind when I think casual relationship.”
“Sex without any of the emotional responsibilities. Basically if you’re just a utility for each other.”
“Just going about your daily lives and getting together every once in a while for some fun or a hookup. This also includes seeing other people for the same type of relationship.”
“I think casually dating is also a form of a relationship. Just because we aren’t official doesn’t give me the right to be an a**hole. I still have to treat the other person right, as much as I don’t see much of a future with them at that point. As much as we might just be using each other for our different needs, stuff like respect and affection has to be there.”
There you have it. straight from the horse’s mouth. Are you in such a relationship? What other signs do you think there are?
