Is it possible to casually date someone and not be expected to be in a relationship?

Answer 1

i think ir's very possible that u don't know that there is something grabing u to that person.. (love is blind)

Answer 2

lol I been wondering the same thing. my conclusion is yes and no. Yes just because everything is possible with hardwork and dedication, but no because the odds and probability is against you. No one likes to be dragged along with increased feeling. Its like working for no pay or do a big achievement but get no award. Some professionals and military personell do this with their lives. They are too busy or too focused to carry a real relationship. I feel like this sometimes where ya just need a "good" friend and nothing more. Most are not ready for relationships so if and only if a relationship is understood in the beginning, reminded in the middle, and reiterated throughout the relationship and each person is satisfied. Relationship is about satisfying ya partner... find out if they are even capable first though of being satisfied without taking away from your character. Girls arent having it and its a boys dream. Your better off finding a better way to dump them when you get them. You must go that fire loving. Don't get them sprung or lead em on. Let them tell you they are looking for the same thing first then you can confirm that relationship. BE safe! Take it easy

Answer 3

Yes. There are reasons why a person may dating you and still expect not to be in a realationship with you or even tell you so. The person may already be in a relationship, or the person may be planning to relocate and knows that a long distance realtionship is not feasible, the person may like or be attracted to you or some of your features but not be in love with you etc.

Answer 4

Yes it is. As long as it's mutually agreed upon. Honesty is key. Remember, if you end up getting a "friend with benefits" then make damn sure they know you will also be dating others and they are expected to do the same. Otherwise, one of you will think you're a couple while the other one is doing their own thing. Talking & agreeing about the situation is key.

Answer 5

Of course. Just don't "act" like you want to be in a relationship. Don't bring her flowers, shower her with gifts, or see her more than once or twice a week.

She will get the picture - women are far more intuitive and better at the "dating game" than guys.

You might wnat to try telling her you are not looking for anything serious. Contrary to what society pumps into men's heads, wome like sex too and don't always want a serious relationship tied into it.

Answer 6

yes. i've done it many times. it was best said that in any relationship, you must be friends first before lovers. i have dated many women currently just as friends. once that special friendship in the right person grows, you will go further on in the relationship. i make it a point when i go out with a woman that its just as friends. i've even been intimate with some of them and we are all still the best of friends as they know i'm not ready to get into a relationship again yet.

Answer 7

Absolutely, Yes, If you find positive traits in the relationship keep it going! If the traits in your partner look schizaphrenic, you have the option to "withdraw" because once you are married you "cannot change" your circumstances! Children, Courts, and family separation services then become your new challenges!

Answer 8

Yes.I think that is true.It depends on our beliefs which varies according to people.I thought like you too.It was too late when I realised the fact.SO, I am more open-minded now.The point is not to call it a date.Think of it as a lunch,dinner,etc.

Answer 9

no one expects to be in a relationship it just happens and besides you controll eveything so even if she wanted to start a relationship all you have to do is say no

Answer 10

Yup

Answer 11

when casual dating there shouldn't be any expectations.....you're getting to know one another, not get married...lol.
