Not surprising, given the age. You'll see how religious she is when you actually press.

Well there you go. Not as religious as I was thinking. Or maybe she sees you as the poor abandoned puppy she can save.

is this wrong?


Not a question of wrong or right to me...so long as both parties know ahead of time.

As for me, I never dated casually. That was just never my thing from the time I was in high school.

like?

cause if she is cool enough that I really enjoy hanging out with her for fun, I would assume one would maybe consider being serious with her, no?

i think that's exactly what "dating" is, and a "relationship" is much more serious

I've started to realize the vast differences between hangout, dating & relationships

No worried females freakout about official titles.

see I just think if I enjoy that person enough to do those types of things with a person, that the possibility of becoming serious would be an option

I don't waste my time with chicks. I either like them, or not. I will straight up tell them I don't want to date them, and did just yesterday. Consider myself pretty moral, but more truthful.

If they want to be FWB, I'm cool with that, but I'll let them know it isn't going anywhere past that

Not really, but a lot of it depends on how you got the girl in the first place. If you're constantly dropping honey in her ears and telling her she's the most beautiful woman in the world, that you are so glad you found her, blah blah blah blah blah, you then can't play the casual dating card.

If your approach is casual, then I don't see how they could expect more from you.

no that was me in high school

this was more like me apologizing for cussing around her and she shrugged it off to try and act cool then i joked that i'm a heathen and i forget my company and then flirting basically went nuclear after taht when i'd see her

I actually had a relationship where I told the girl pretty early on I wasn't looking for anything serious.

When I broke it off she was saying all of this stuff about feeling so stupid. So I guess she thought I'd change my mind. So that's a real thing for sure.

I don't know what I could've done differently to not give her that impression. I was upfront.

She thought she could change you. Then when you broke it off. She unloaded on you.

I've done this, but the key is to be honest upfront. However, this only worked with someone older than you. If your age or younger even being upfront does not lessen the blow....they still get upset or think they could still change your mind.

I think it's ok as long as upfront, but expect the backlash when you end it and say "I told you I didn't want a long term commitment ahead if time"

that's the type of stuff that is leading to the whole Sexodus movement and more extreme movements like the MGTOWs

this is real life:

maybe you are at different points in your life and there are things you won't comprimise over at the moment

Dating Morality Thread: Dating with No Intention of a Serious Relationship


As long as both people in the relationship know what the situation is, I see no problem with it. Now if one of the two is leading the other on that they are moving towards marriage or a serious exclusive relationship when they really have no intention of anything of the sort ever developing, yes, that's a very shitty lowlife thing to do.
