ok i'll jsut ask it here to everyone. What does this mean to you? What if the person says they are not dating anyone else, but considers himself to be casually dating you (far away). Does this sound like there are no intentions of thigns ever becoming serious?
No. It just means:
"if I want to go out with my friends, there is no argument"
"If i want to go 4 weeks without cleaning my apartment, there is no argument"
"If I don't call you every day, there is no argument."
"If I want to frequent strip clubs, there is no argument"
"If I don't feel like a chick flick, there is no argument"
"I don't have to meet your parents; there is no argument"
"I don't have to like your friends; there is no argument"
"We don't have to see each other every day; there is no argument"
Get the picture? :wink:
Basically, this guy is just hanging out with you beacuse he enjoys it, thinks your cute, fun and likes you! But right now, that's all he wants. It doesn't mean he won't want more later. He's taking it slow. Not ready to relinquish his singlehood. He isn't presenting you with any falsehoods about the relationship. No promises he can't keep. I wouldn't be concerned. Not yet. If in 6 months, he is still like this, I'd move on any hope of him committing. Good luck!!
I would have to agree with Kristie. I would not think it has anything to do with his feelings for you - it is just that he has to get to know you more to see if there is a future. I think he is just being honest and trying not to lead you on at all.
re
i told one of my friends about the convo and she said she thinks casual dating is a 'sucky term.'
Means dating without committment.
Can't say whether or not the person will want more later or not.

not always a bad thing.
My last friend with benefits ended up my husband.
Ooh, good response Kristie.
I was in the middle of a long post that was getting longer yet when I said "aw forget it." Yours says it all.
not to mention, it's fun as hell!!!
re
well i was also told on another board that i'm not good enough for him so he just sees me as someone to date casually date...
That's an opinon of someone who doesn't understand men and women.
You don't have to be in a relationship every second of your life.
How old are you?
Empower yourself as a woman to be "allowed" to date who you want and how you want. You don't need someones approval. If you feel like he isn't treating you right, toss him and get another one. If you are content the way things are, stay and enjoy being a young, single woman who can do as she pleases.
