Is it ever ok to just be interested in a "casual relationship", as long as it is clearly, and respectfully communicated from the onset. Come on admit it, not every guy who does it for you on one level is a "keeper" on the others.
Most of you should be by now just as assertive, as us to say this with words just as the men can.
With all due respect, the truth pleeease, I wont tell even my best friend.

I think one of the main characteristics of what they call a 'relationship', is commitment. I don't believe casual relationships exist, because they don't involve any commitment and are only based on having fun. So why not just be friends? Friends have fun, no strings attached.

It is absolutely, positively OK to be interested in just a casual relationship. The key is just as you've said: Be honest and communicate this from the very beginning. In most instances when people get their feelings hurt in relationships or people end up with a bad rap it's because someone has mislead someone else. Just keep it real!

It's okay to have a casual relations. As long as the other knows and it is well communicated. Those type of relations don't last. They should only be short term. Some where in the mix of things......someone will likely get caught up. Maybe it could be you or her. Just keep your guard up and make sure the other does too.

No problem at all..as long as everyone is clear on what to and not to expect there shouldnt be any worries...I was in a casual relationship with someone we have become great friends also..its been like 5 years now since we met..and yes i have had serious relationships in that time with someone else but my friend knows that if i am seing someone there is no sex between him and i..he respects me like that.

I believe you are very true. There are some guys that just click with you from the very beginning but one major thing about them is what keep syou from desiring a complete and total commitment with them!!! Then there are those guys you love for one thing and one thing only!!! Therefore you must try to find the one that fits with your personality and beliefs the most. I per say have gone out with guys that are onyl good for sex and therefore I inform them, this is great I like you a lot I would prefer to maintain this as a sexual realtionship only, of course with protection and makign sure you are not with a million other women and myself. So these thigs are very common nowadays!!!

Sure, it's OK. In fact, it's a lot better than having a serious relationship. You're still technically single, but you can have sex whenever you want without looking like a s-lut. I'd rather have one of those than a boyfriend.
(In the interests of full disclosure, I took "casual relationship" to mean "friends with benefits." If that's not what you meant, I will gladly kick myself in the head.)

I see no harm in casual relationships as long as you both agree on it, this way no one gets attached and no one gets hurt, this is done every day with many ppl that do not want to settle down, and need someone on there time, its great!

Yes, it could be okay, a mutual like for each other ... casual relationship.... friends with benefits.... but it's very important that neither has expectations of a deeper, more meaningful connection.

i think as long as both people agree then its okay but be careful cuz either on or both could fall for the other. and u are rite not everyone to sleep wid or whatever is a keeper.. sum people jus arent ready to settle.. so as long as u both agree i see no harm jus careful yall dont fall for one another or sumthing.. that could get tricky.
